What is it about?

Vegans, people on hemodialysis and people with HIV may have low selenium levels. This may impact male fertility, pregnancy and the thyroid, all of which require selenium. Selenium also provides antioxidant protection from DNA damage and is associated with a lower risk of certain cancers (prostate, lung, bladder, skin, oesophageal, gastric), coronary heart disease and dementia. Excessive selenium intake has occasionally been fatal.
