OptiSel Selenium 200 mcg, 30 capsules, is a food supplement for adults providing 200 µg of selenium as L-selenomethionine per capsule. The formula is intended for people who have been advised to increase their selenium intake for nutritional support of normal thyroid function, immune-system function and antioxidant protection.
Selenium contributes to normal spermatogenesis, the maintenance of normal hair and nails, normal immune-system and thyroid function and the protection of cells from oxidative stress. OptiSel provides a relatively high daily amount, making it important to check every other selenium-containing supplement in the user’s routine.

When may additional selenium be considered?
Selenium is an essential trace mineral involved in selenoproteins and enzymes important for antioxidant defence and thyroid-hormone metabolism. The body cannot produce selenium, so it must be obtained from food or, when appropriate, a supplement.
Additional intake may be considered when dietary selenium intake is inadequate, nutritional requirements are increased or supplementation has been recommended by a doctor or pharmacist. The selenium content of food varies according to the food source and the mineral content of the soil in which it was produced.
L-selenomethionine is an organic selenium form bound to the amino acid methionine. One OptiSel capsule provides 200 µg, which is a high amount compared with the nutrient reference value and requires careful calculation of selenium from every source.
OptiSel is not a treatment for hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, infertility or immune disorders. It does not replace thyroid medication, laboratory testing or assessment by an endocrinologist.
Who is the product intended for?
Adults who have been advised to use additional selenium, particularly for nutritional support of normal thyroid and immune function, antioxidant protection or normal spermatogenesis. Because each capsule provides 200 µg, the product should not routinely be combined with other selenium supplements.
Directions for use and important precautions
Recommended use: adults take one capsule daily with a glass of water.
- Swallow the capsule whole with sufficient liquid.

- Excessive long-term selenium intake may cause hair loss, brittle nails, a metallic taste, garlic-like breath, nausea, diarrhoea, fatigue, rash or neurological symptoms.

Pharmacist’s advice
OptiSel provides 200 µg of selenium, so review every other supplement before beginning. Selenium is frequently included in products for the thyroid, immunity, hair and nails and male fertility. Regular consumption of Brazil nuts also requires caution because their selenium content can be highly variable and substantial. Supplementation does not replace TSH, FT4, antibody testing or other assessment recommended by an endocrinologist.
