Frequently Asked Questions
Why take a selenium supplement instead of eating Brazil nuts?
A capsule gives a consistent 200 mcg dose, while the selenium content of Brazil nuts and other foods varies widely depending on the soil they were grown in.
Should I take it with food?
Yes, NOW's suggested use is 1 capsule daily with a meal.
Who should be careful with this product?
Adults who live in naturally high selenium soil regions, such as the Dakotas, should consult a physician before adding a selenium supplement, as should anyone who is pregnant, nursing, or taking medication.
What does 364% Daily Value mean?
It means one capsule provides 364% of the recommended daily intake of selenium, which is why this is a higher potency option than a standard multivitamin dose.
Is this capsule vegan?
Yes, the capsule and formula are vegan and contain no animal derived ingredients.
