Before taking supplements, try adjusting your diet to include more organic foods, whole foods, raw foods, and variety. Vitamins and minerals obtained through food sources are used better by the body than those in supplements. If, however, you continue to experience vitamin or mineral deficiencies, or your diet or medical condition won't permit the foods you require for certain nutrients, taking supplements can help. Be sure to consult your physician about which supplements you should take and what they recommend. site map	Selenium Also known as : (nothing else) USRDA : Men 0.2 mg, Women 0.05 mg Sources: Selenium can be found in the following foods: beef (3 oz roasted, trimmed, tri-tip roast - 162 calories) (Thai Beef) organ meats (3 oz beef liver, pan-fried - 147 calories) pork (3 oz roasted tenderloin - 96 calories) (Apricot Pork Stir Fry) seafood (3 oz canned light tuna packed in water, drained - 99 calories) (Elegant Tuna Salad Rolls) veal (3 oz roasted - 184 calories) (Veal Scaloppini al Limone) whole grain bread (1 slice multi-grain - 69 calories) whole grain cereal (1 cup Total Raisin Bran - 170 calories) Functions: Selenium is necessary for: helping vitamin E breakdown fats and body chemicals reduces the risk of certain types of cancer reduces the risk of heart disease some studies have shown that selenium may help to keep the HIV virus dormant and prevent it from developing into full-blown AIDS (early research) Deficiencies : Selenium deficiency (not enough) can result in: unknown Overdose : Selenium overdose (too much) can result in: brittle nails hair loss The two best types of selenium supplements are selnomethiaonine and sodium selenite. powered by FreeFind	Sign up for our periodic newsletter to get the latest tips, tricks, hints, help, recipes, site updates, and much more.
