Selenium is a trace mineral that your body only needs in small amounts — but its role is far from small. It supports your body’s natural antioxidant system and contributes to the maintenance of normal cell health and function — quietly helping you feel your best every day. Selenium is naturally found in soil, and from there, it enters our food chain through plants and animals.
However, here’s something worth noting:
🌾 The amount of selenium in your food depends on how much is in the soil where the plants are grown. And in some regions — including parts of Asia — selenium levels in the soil can be naturally low. That means even with a balanced diet, your intake might not always be consistent.
📊 A variety of nutritional surveys worldwide have highlighted how environmental factors, like soil content, can influence the nutrients we get through food.
So, if you’ve never thought about selenium, now’s a good time to start.
✅ Speak to a nutritionist or healthcare provider for personalised advice. They can help you assess your nutrient intake and recommend balanced steps — whether through food, lifestyle, or supplement support if suitable.
