HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Se-100 by Bio-Tech Pharmacal
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
Se-100 contains one active ingredient: selenium, a mineral your body needs in small amounts to support immune function, thyroid health, and antioxidant defenses. The capsule also contains microcrystalline cellulose and gelatin as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Selenium is likely effective for treating selenium deficiency. It's possibly effective for Kashin-Beck disease (a joint disorder linked to selenium shortage), pre-eclampsia (a pregnancy complication), and autoimmune thyroiditis (an immune attack on the thyroid gland).
The evidence suggests it's ineffective for dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fat levels).
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Selenium is generally well tolerated when you stay within the safe upper limit of 400 mcg daily. Most common side effects at normal doses are mild—gastric discomfort, headache, and rash.
High doses can cause more serious problems: hair loss, nail changes, nausea, fatigue, and skin issues. Very high intake is rare but can lead to multi-organ failure.
The facts also note that long-term exposure to high amounts may increase the risk of a nerve condition called ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), and that selenium supplements actually increased the risk of certain skin cancers in one large trial. Stick to recommended doses and talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking high-dose selenium.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Se-100, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate severity), immunosuppressants (Moderate), barbiturates (Moderate), or warfarin (Moderate). Also mention if you're on oral contraceptives or niacin, which have minor interactions documented.
These are the medication types where selenium may change how your drugs work or affect safety.
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.
Se-100 is useful if you have a selenium deficiency or certain conditions like Kashin-Beck disease or autoimmune thyroiditis. If you take blood thinners, immune-suppressing drugs, barbiturates, warfarin, oral contraceptives, or niacin for cholesterol, you need to check with your own doctor or pharmacist before adding this product—the interactions could affect how your medications work or your bleeding risk.
Keep doses at or below the recommended amount, and discuss it with your healthcare provider before you start.

Se-100 by Bio-Tech Pharmacal Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Se-100 by Bio-Tech Pharmacal contains selenium, which has documented interactions with several medication types.
The most serious concern is with anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs (blood thinners and antiplatelet agents)—selenium may increase bleeding risk by affecting how platelets work.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Selenium also interacts moderately with immunosuppressants (drugs that calm down your immune system), potentially reducing how well they work; with barbiturates (sedating medications), which it may make work longer; and with warfarin specifically, where it might interfere with the drug's blood-thinning activity. A minor interaction exists with oral contraceptives, which may raise selenium levels in your body, though we're not sure how much that matters clinically.
Niacin (a B vitamin often used for cholesterol) may have its beneficial effects on HDL cholesterol reduced if you take selenium at the same time.
Altogether, these interactions span 321 individual medications. You'll want to check your exact prescriptions with the search tool on this page before starting selenium.

For each ingredient in Se-100 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.
Selenium
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.
