Selenium Supplements

Selenium Supplements

Selenium may be a lesser known mineral that the body needs, but it is still important.  Selenium is an essential trace mineral.  Trace minerals are needed in small amounts by the body daily.  The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for adults 4 years and older is 55 micrograms per day – that is less than 1 milligram. Selenium can be found naturally in foods such as ground beef, sunflower seeds, chicken, whole wheat, cheddar cheese, tuna, and wheat germ.  Selenium supplements are also a great option if you are not getting enough of this trace mineral from diet alone.
