Selenium
Selenium by Thorne is a high-quality, practitioner-grade trace mineral supplement formulated to support thyroid function, immune health, antioxidant defense, and overall cellular resilience.* Selenium is an essential nutrient that the body cannot produce on its own, making consistent dietary intake or supplementation important for maintaining optimal health.
At Yarrow Holistic Center, Selenium is commonly included in personalized care plans for patients seeking support for immune and metabolic health, thyroid balance, and antioxidant protection. It is frequently recommended for patients receiving care through telehealth consultations, where micronutrient status can be supported and monitored remotely.
Why Selenium Is Essential
Selenium plays a critical role in numerous physiological systems. Low selenium levels may negatively affect the heart, joints, eyes, immune system, endocrine system, and reproductive health.* Maintaining optimal selenium levels supports healthy cell function, differentiation, and long-term wellness.
Selenium supplementation may help support:
- Normal cell function and antioxidant activity*
- Healthy heart, connective tissue, and eye function*
- Liver and metabolic health*
- Overall cellular protection from oxidative stress*
Support for Thyroid Health
Selenium is especially important for thyroid function. It is required for the conversion of thyroid hormone T4 (thyroxine) into the active T3 (triiodothyronine) form.* Healthy thyroid function supports energy levels, metabolism, mood, and healthy hair and skin.
Because of this role, selenium is often included in integrative approaches to hormonal and metabolic balance.
Antioxidant & Healthy Aging Support
Selenium contributes to the body’s antioxidant defense systems, including glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase.* These systems help neutralize free radicals generated by environmental toxins, stress, smoking, and normal metabolic processes.
Through this activity, selenium may help support:
- Healthy aging and cellular longevity*
- Brain and cognitive health*
- Skin and hair health*
Immune & Detoxification Support
Selenium plays an important role in immune system regulation and supports a healthy inflammatory response.* Adequate selenium levels are associated with balanced immune activity and overall resilience.
Selenium may also help support the body’s response to heavy metals such as mercury and cadmium by contributing to detoxification pathways.*
Highly Absorbable Selenomethionine Form
Thorne’s Selenium uses selenomethionine, a highly bioavailable form of selenium bound to the amino acid methionine. This form is well absorbed and utilized by the body, without unnecessary additives or preservatives.
Ideal for Holistic & Telehealth-Based Care
Selenium is commonly used within functional medicine and integrative internal medicine care plans.
Within a telehealth model, selenium supplementation may be paired with:
- Thyroid and hormonal support strategies
- Immune and antioxidant protocols
- Nutritional and lifestyle guidance
- Lab-informed micronutrient optimization
