Selenium
Guides and comparisons Multivitamins: how to compare daily vitamin & mineral formulas
Selenium on this shelf comes as 100 µg and 200 µg tablets and capsules, in different forms: sodium selenite, L-selenomethionine, selenium glycinate complex and selenium-enriched yeast. Labels give the selenium itself in µg per serving, next to its percentage of the nutrient reference value (55 µg), so a 200 µg tablet reads 364 %. Compare the µg per serving, the serving size and the unit price rather than the tablet count. The table below prices three products per 1,000 µg of declared selenium; it is a unit price for comparing labels, not a dose.

Frequently asked questions
How do I read a selenium label in µg and percent?
Selenium is declared in micrograms (µg or mcg); 1,000 µg is 1 mg, so check the unit before comparing. The percentage is measured against a reference value of 55 µg, which is why a 200 µg serving shows 364 %. Compare the amount per serving and how many servings are in the pack.
Does the form of selenium change the number on the label?
No. Each label states the selenium in the product, whatever form it comes from, such as sodium selenite, selenium glycinate complex, L-selenomethionine or selenium-enriched yeast. The table prices the declared selenium and does not rank the forms.
Should I add up selenium from several products?
Yes. Multivitamins and combination products can contain selenium too, and the maximum on one label applies to that product only. Read the label's warnings, and ask a pharmacist or doctor if you take medicines or have a medical condition.
