HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Formula 304 by DC
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Formula 304 contains one active ingredient: SeleniumSeLECT, a form of selenium. Selenium is a trace mineral your body needs for thyroid function, antioxidant defense, and immune health.
The capsule also contains inactive ingredients—vegetable cellulose, gelatin, silica, and vegetable magnesium stearate—which are standard binders and fillers that help hold the capsule together.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Selenium is likely effective for treating selenium deficiency. The evidence suggests it may help with Kashin-Beck disease (a joint condition linked to low selenium), pre-eclampsia in pregnancy, and autoimmune thyroiditis—though the data for these uses is more limited.
For dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fats), the evidence suggests it is not effective.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Selenium is generally well tolerated when you stay within the upper daily limit of 400 mcg. At normal doses, the main side effects are mild—gastric discomfort, headache, and rash.
However, excess selenium can be toxic; high doses may cause hair loss, nail damage, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and in rare cases serious liver or kidney damage. The safety data in pregnancy is mixed (possibly safe in some contexts, possibly unsafe in others), so talk with your doctor before taking this if you're pregnant.
During breastfeeding, the limited data suggests it is possibly safe, but check with your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate risk), immune-suppressing medications (Moderate risk), barbiturate sedatives (Moderate risk), warfarin specifically (Moderate risk), birth control pills (Minor risk), or niacin (Minor risk). Altogether, these interactions span 321 individual medications.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you have low selenium or Kashin-Beck disease, or if you're at risk for pre-eclampsia or autoimmune thyroiditis, this product may be worth considering—but only at the recommended dose, never high-dose supplements without medical advice. If you take blood thinners, immune suppressants, barbiturates, or niacin, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this to your routine.
Stick to the labeled dose to avoid toxicity.

Formula 304 by DC Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
SeleniumSeLECT in Formula 304 by DC interacts with several medication types, with the most serious being blood thinners and related drugs.
Through its selenium content, this product may increase bleeding risk when combined with anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin or aspirin—selenium can boost bleeding times and may interfere with how warfarin works in your body.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Other Moderate-severity interactions affect immune-suppressing medications (selenium may reduce their effectiveness), sedating barbiturates (selenium might prolong their effects), and warfarin specifically (selenium can displace it from protein binding or lower vitamin K-dependent clotting factors). Minor interactions exist with birth control pills, which may raise your selenium levels, and with niacin, where selenium might reduce its cholesterol-raising benefit.
Before you start this product, check your exact medications with the search tool below—especially if you take blood thinners, immune suppressants, barbiturates, or niacin.

For each ingredient in Formula 304 with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
SeleniumSeLECT
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Selenium may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Clinical research suggests that taking selenium 10 mcg/kg/day can increase bleeding times by increasing prostacyclin production, which inhibits platelet activity. Other clinical research suggests that taking selenium 75 mcg daily, in combination with ascorbic acid 600 mg, alpha-tocopherol 300 mg, and beta-carotene 27 mg, reduces platelet aggregation.
Barbiturates
Theoretically, selenium might prolong the sedating effects of barbiturates.
Laboratory research suggests that selenium can inhibit the hepatic metabolism of barbiturates. Selenium seems to prolong the sedative effect of pentobarbital in animal models.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, selenium supplementation may reduce the effectiveness of immunosuppressant therapy.
In vitro research and preliminary clinical evidence suggests that selenium may stimulate the immune system.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, selenium might interfere with warfarin activity.
Animal research suggests that selenium can increase warfarin activity. Selenium might interact with warfarin by displacing it from albumin binding sites, reducing its metabolism in the liver, or by decreasing production of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors. Selenium can also prolong bleeding times in humans by increasing prostacyclin production, which inhibits platelet activity.
Contraceptive Drugs
Contraceptive drugs might increase levels of selenium, although the clinical significance of this effect is unclear.
Some research suggests that oral contraceptives increase serum selenium levels in women taking oral contraceptives; however, other research shows no change in selenium levels. It is suggested that an increase could be due to increased carrier proteins, indicating a redistribution of selenium rather than a change in total body selenium.
Niacin
Selenium might reduce the beneficial effects of niacin on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels.
A combination of niacin and simvastatin (Zocor) effectively raises HDL cholesterol levels in patients with coronary disease and low HDL levels. Clinical research shows that taking a combination of antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and selenium) along with niacin and simvastatin (Zocor) attenuates this rise in HDL, specifically the HDL-2 and apolipoprotein A1 fractions, by more than 50% in patients with coronary disease. It is not known whether this adverse effect is due to a single antioxidant such as selenium, or to the combination. It also is not known whether it will occur in other patient populations.
