Key Health Benefits

Use Case	Summary of Findings	PubMed Link
Immune System Support	A 24-month randomized trial in HIV-positive adults showed that 200 µg/day selenium significantly slowed the decline of CD4 T-cell counts (by ~44% vs. placebo), suggesting improved immune maintenance.	PubMed
Antioxidant Protection	A systematic review of trials found that selenium supplementation increased glutathione peroxidase activity and total antioxidant capacity while reducing malondialdehyde (a marker of oxidative stress), indicating a reduction in oxidative stress.	PubMed
Thyroid Function	In Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, a 2023 meta-analysis of RCTs showed selenium supplements significantly lowered thyroid peroxidase antibody levels and modestly reduced TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), indicating improved thyroid status.	PubMed
Cardiovascular Health	In a 5-year RCT of elderly adults (low Se status), daily selenium (200 µg, with coenzyme Q10) led to a significantly lower rate of cardiovascular mortality (5.9% vs. 12.6% in placebo) and improved cardiac function.	PubMed
Cognitive Function	A clinical trial in Alzheimer’s patients found those receiving selenium (200 µg/day, ± probiotics) had better cognitive scores after 12 weeks – e.g. a higher Mini-Mental State Exam score improvement compared to placebo (+1.5 vs +0.5 points). This suggests selenium may help maintain cognitive performance.	PubMed
