Selenium

Glucose and metabolic health markers is closer to a research marker, so it should be read separately from a directly felt benefit.

Human evidence exists, but it is mostly in patient or disease contexts, so the score is handled conservatively.

Representative tier calculated from paper evidence that passed the collection audit.

Combinations studied together

The group showed a positive signal, but individual contributions are hard to isolate. Not a stack recommendation.

+프로바이오틱스Co-supplementation with probiotics and selenium resulted in significant improvements in mental health, hormonal profiles, and oxidative stress markers compared to placebo.
+아연Co-supplementation with Zinc (25 mg/day) and Selenium (200 mcg/day) resulted in significant improvements in RMR and functional capacity compared to placebo in the context of a hypocaloric diet.
