Ingredients explained
Selenium (as Se-methyl-L-selenocysteine)
Provides a bioavailable form of selenium used to build antioxidant enzymes like glutathione peroxidases that help neutralize free radicals and support thyroid enzyme activity.
Caution: Do not exceed suggested intake because excessive selenium may cause adverse effects such as gastrointestinal upset or brittle hair and nails.
Selenium (as L-selenomethionine)
Incorporates into proteins in place of methionine and supplies selenium for antioxidant enzymes and normal thyroid hormone metabolism.
Caution: Use as directed since high cumulative selenium from diet and supplements may increase risk of side effects.
Selenium (as sodium selenite)
Provides inorganic selenium that the body converts into selenide for synthesis of selenoproteins involved in antioxidant defense and cellular function.
Caution: Take with food to reduce potential stomach upset and avoid combining with other high-selenium products.
Vitamin E (as D-alpha tocopheryl succinate)
Acts as a fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect cell membranes from oxidative damage and works alongside selenium-dependent enzymes to manage free radicals.
Caution: Fat-soluble vitamins can accumulate; stick to labeled directions, especially if also using other vitamin E products.
How they work together
The three forms of selenium provide complementary sources that feed selenoprotein and antioxidant enzyme production, supporting coverage across different absorption and utilization pathways. Vitamin E offers membrane-focused antioxidant activity that works alongside selenium-dependent enzymes that act in aqueous and lipid interfaces. Together they provide broader oxidative stress support than either alone.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Do not exceed the recommended dose. Consult a physician if you are pregnant, nursing, or undergoing treatment for a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the outer seal is broken or damaged.
Who should be cautious: People with thyroid concerns or on thyroid medications may need guidance due to selenium’s role in thyroid function. Those with vitamin E sensitivity or on anticoagulants may want to discuss use with a healthcare provider.
Storage: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place.

Overview
- Gluten Free
- 1 Daily
- Non GMO LE Certified
- Providing The Most Advanced Form of Selenium
- Dietary Supplement
Levels of several health-promoting minerals, including selenium, have been shown to be high among some of the world’s longest-living people. Selenium is available in several different forms. Our Super Selenium Complex Provides three forms of selenium, as well as a small amount of vitamin E.
Antioxidant, thyroid & immune support
Selenium is an important factor in protecting your body from oxidative damage. That’s because a group of powerful antioxidant enzymes in the body called glutathione peroxidases require selenium to function. Selenium has also been shown to support normal thyroid and immune function in healthy individuals.
Cardiovascular health, brain health & healthy cell division
Selenium is a vital nutrient for healthy cell division. But its ability to promote a healthy inflammatory response and quench free radicals has led scientists to explore its beneficial effects related to other conditions involving oxidative damage, particularly for heart and brain health.
