What the research says about Selenium
Educational summaries of published research on selenium generally; not product-specific claims. CanPrev Pure Selenium Glycinate's own label claim is the use authorized under NPN 80078497: source of antioxidant that helps protect against oxidative stress.
Selenium, iodine and iron are the three essential trace elements required for thyroid hormone synthesis
Selenocysteine-containing enzymes protect the thyroid from the hydrogen peroxide generated during hormone synthesis and control the deiodinase enzymes that activate and inactivate thyroid hormones - a role that is critical for normal thyroid hormone metabolism.
ReviewA 2023 review found selenium and its selenoproteins are closely tied to thyroid hormone metabolism and thyroid disease risk
Most known selenoproteins, including glutathione peroxidase, are expressed in the thyroid gland and support thyroid hormone metabolism, redox balance and cellular homeostasis; low selenium status has been linked to a higher prevalence of several thyroid conditions.
ReviewSelenocysteine-containing selenoproteins - including glutathione peroxidases and deiodinases - are essential for thyroid hormone metabolism
This foundational review describes how selenium is incorporated as the 21st amino acid, selenocysteine, into human selenoproteins such as glutathione peroxidases, thioredoxin reductases and iodothyronine deiodinases - enzymes central to antioxidant defense and thyroid hormone activation.
ReviewA meta-analysis of 35 studies found selenium supplementation lowered thyroid antibodies and a marker of oxidative stress in Hashimoto's thyroiditis
Pooling randomized trials, selenium supplementation significantly reduced thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) levels and malondialdehyde, and modestly lowered TSH in patients not on thyroid hormone replacement, with adverse-event rates comparable to placebo.
Systematic review & meta-analysisA randomized trial found selenium supplementation reduced thyroid antibodies partly by boosting regulatory T-cell activity
In 90 patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, six months of selenium-yeast supplementation significantly decreased thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin antibodies alongside a higher proportion of activated regulatory T cells - a proposed immunologic mechanism for the antibody reduction.
Human RCTA Cochrane review found the evidence for selenium in Hashimoto's thyroiditis is still incomplete
Reviewing four randomized trials, this Cochrane analysis found selenomethionine reduced thyroid peroxidase antibody levels versus placebo in several studies, but rated the overall risk of bias unclear-to-high and concluded the evidence does not yet allow confident clinical recommendations.
Cochrane systematic reviewSelenium supplementation protected heart muscle cells from oxidative stress by activating glutathione peroxidase and a key survival pathway
In cultured cardiomyocytes and pigs fed a selenium-deficient diet, selenium supplementation raised glutathione peroxidase and thioredoxin reductase activity, countered hydrogen-peroxide-induced cell cycle arrest, and activated the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway associated with cell survival.
Laboratory & animal studySelenium supplementation upregulated antioxidant enzymes and protected placental cells from oxidative stress in the lab
In human trophoblast cell lines, both organic and inorganic forms of selenium increased thioredoxin reductase and glutathione peroxidase activity and protected cells against peroxide-induced damage - relevant to selenium's role in supporting antioxidant defenses.
Laboratory studyA landmark review described selenium's wide-ranging antioxidant role - and its narrow, U-shaped safety margin
Selenium is incorporated into selenoproteins with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and thyroid-hormone-activating effects; low selenium status has been linked to poorer immune function, but the review stresses that people with already-adequate selenium status should not take additional supplements.
ReviewA 2023 review summarized selenium's role in activating immune cells and supporting the immune system
Selenium performs its biological functions largely through selenoproteins with redox and anti-inflammatory activity; the review describes selenium as important for stimulating immune cell activation, alongside its established roles in thyroid and cardiovascular health.
ReviewSelenium supplementation increased key immune cell survival and improved antibody response after flu vaccination
Selenium was shown to protect follicular helper T cells - immune cells required for generating durable, high-affinity antibody responses - from a form of programmed cell death by supporting the antioxidant enzyme GPX4; selenium supplementation increased these T cells and improved antibody responses in mice and in young adults after influenza vaccination.
Human & animal studyA review identified selenium among the micronutrients with the clearest links to immune function
Alongside vitamins C and D and zinc, selenium was identified as playing a vital, often synergistic role in supporting immune cell function and physical barriers against infection, with deficiency states linked to impaired immune competence.
ReviewA human tracer study found significantly more selenium was absorbed and retained from selenomethionine than from selenite
Using stable isotope tracers in lactating, non-lactating and never-pregnant women, this study found an organic selenium form was absorbed and retained at significantly higher rates than inorganic selenite, though lactating women showed enhanced retention specifically of the selenite form.
Human studyAn intestinal-absorption study found an organic selenium compound was retained more efficiently than an inorganic form
Comparing radiolabeled sodium selenite and selenomethionine in the small intestine, the organic form was removed from the intestinal segment more rapidly and retained more efficiently after dosing, though both chemical forms of selenium were, in absolute terms, efficiently absorbed.
Animal studyA study measuring glutathione peroxidase activity found roughly half of healthy Spanish adults had suboptimal selenium status
Using plasma and red-blood-cell selenium levels alongside the activity of the selenium-dependent enzyme glutathione peroxidase (a functional marker of selenium adequacy), researchers found about half of a healthy adult population fell below the reference level associated with maximal enzyme activity.
Human studyA systematic review found selenium intake and status is widely suboptimal across Europe
Reviewing dozens of European and Middle Eastern studies, this review found suboptimal selenium status was widespread, with Eastern European countries generally showing lower intakes than Western European countries - consistent with selenium-poor soils across much of the continent.
Systematic reviewFinland's decades-long national selenium fertilization program shows how low a population's selenium status can otherwise run
After Finland began adding selenium to agricultural fertilizers nationwide in 1985 to correct extremely low dietary selenium intake, average dietary intake and blood selenium levels rose substantially over the following years to reach levels considered nutritionally optimal.
National monitoring programA systematic review found selenium deficiency in over a third of older adults, whether living independently or in institutional care
Across 28 studies of more than 9,000 older adults in Western countries, this review found selenium intakes were insufficient in roughly 27-49% of community-dwelling adults and 27-44% of those in institutional care, alongside similar insufficiencies for zinc, iron, iodine and copper.
Systematic reviewA New Zealand cohort study found selenium's effect on PSA depended on age, smoking status and genetics
In 481 men given 200 mcg/day of selenium for six months, there was no overall correlation between the increase in selenium and change in PSA, but stratified analysis found a significant inverse relationship in men below the median age, never-smokers, and carriers of a specific glutathione peroxidase gene variant.
Human clinical studyA Phase 3 trial found selenium supplementation did not reduce prostate cancer incidence in high-risk men
In 699 men at high risk for prostate cancer followed for up to 5 years, daily selenium supplementation (200 or 400 mcg) did not significantly change the incidence of prostate cancer or PSA velocity compared with placebo - an honest null result from a well-controlled trial.
Human RCT (Phase 3)A long-running cancer-prevention trial found selenium supplementation was associated with an increased risk of one type of skin cancer
In a randomized trial of over 1,300 people with a history of non-melanoma skin cancer, daily selenium supplementation (200 mcg as selenized yeast) was associated with a statistically significant increase in the risk of squamous cell carcinoma and total non-melanoma skin cancer over the full follow-up period - a finding directly relevant to why people with a history of non-melanoma skin cancer are advised to consult a healthcare practitioner before using selenium.
Human RCTA review of male reproductive biology found selenium and its selenoproteins are essential to normal sperm development
Selenoproteins including glutathione peroxidases protect developing sperm cells from oxidative damage throughout maturation and serve as structural components of mature sperm; both deficiency and excess selenium can impair semen quality and fertility in animal models.
ReviewSelenium is described as a key element in spermatogenesis, acting mainly through two selenoproteins
This review describes how phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (the major selenoprotein in developing sperm cells) and selenoprotein P (which supplies selenium to the testis) together link selenium status to sperm quality and male fertility.
ReviewA meta-analysis of randomized trials found selenium supplementation improved several sperm quality parameters
Pooling results across multiple RCTs, selenium supplementation was associated with increased total sperm concentration, total motility and normal morphology, alongside similar improvements from zinc, omega-3 fatty acids and coenzyme Q10 - though the authors caution that sample sizes were limited.
