HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Selenium 200 mcg by Nature's Blend

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 10, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: selenium at 200 micrograms per tablet. Selenium is a mineral your body needs in small amounts for healthy thyroid function, immune support, and antioxidant protection.

The tablet also contains inactive ingredients — calcium phosphate, cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, and silica — which are fillers and binders that help hold the tablet together.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Selenium's overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports Selenium for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Selenium deficiency — rated "Likely Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Pre-eclampsia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Autoimmune thyroiditis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Kashin-Beck disease — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Selenium is likely effective for treating selenium deficiency, which is uncommon in well-nourished populations but can happen in certain regions or medical conditions. The evidence also suggests it may be possibly effective for Kashin-Beck disease (a joint condition linked to selenium deficiency), pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure in pregnancy), and autoimmune thyroiditis (an autoimmune thyroid condition).

However, it appears possibly ineffective for dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fat levels).

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Selenium

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Selenium at this dose (200 mcg) is generally well-tolerated when you stay below the upper safe limit of 400 mcg daily. The most common side effects at normal doses are mild — gastric discomfort, headache, and rash.

However, excess selenium is toxic and can cause hair loss, nail damage, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and skin problems. In rare cases, very high doses have caused serious multi-organ damage.

The safety data for pregnancy shows it's possibly safe, though there's also a possibly unsafe rating listed — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Selenium

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Selenium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs.
  • For scale: 321 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs — selenium may raise your bleeding risk (Moderate). Barbiturates (sedating medications), immunosuppressants, warfarin (Coumadin), birth control pills, and niacin supplements all have documented interactions and should be reviewed with your pharmacist beforehand.

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 selenium deficiency or are interested in the possibly effective uses (Kashin-Beck disease, pre-eclampsia, or autoimmune thyroiditis), this supplement may be worth considering — but only at the recommended dose and with your doctor's okay. Anyone taking blood thinners, sedating drugs, immunosuppressants, or other regular medications should check with their pharmacist or doctor before adding this in.

Pregnant or breastfeeding folks should also talk it over with their healthcare provider first.

Selenium6 drug types · 321 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
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.

Selenium 200 mcg by Nature's Blend: Common Questions

Does Selenium 200 mcg by Nature's Blend interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Selenium 200 mcg has a known interaction with 321 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Selenium 200 mcg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is 200 mcg of selenium safe to take every day?
Yes, 200 mcg is below the safe upper limit of 400 mcg daily and is generally well-tolerated. Just don't exceed that 400 mcg ceiling, and avoid taking high-dose supplements beyond normal dietary needs unless your doctor recommends it.
What are the side effects of selenium at this dose?
At 200 mcg daily, the most common side effects are mild: gastric discomfort, headache, and rash. These are not guaranteed to happen — many people have no side effects. Excess selenium can cause more serious problems like hair loss and nail damage, but that requires higher doses.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
The data shows selenium is possibly safe in pregnancy, but also possibly unsafe — the evidence is mixed. You should talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this supplement is right for you personally.
Can I take this if I'm breastfeeding?
The data suggests it's possibly safe during breastfeeding, but check with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's appropriate for your situation.
Does selenium actually work for thyroid problems?
Selenium may be possibly effective for autoimmune thyroiditis (an autoimmune thyroid condition), but the evidence isn't complete. If you have a thyroid disorder, talk with your doctor about whether a selenium supplement makes sense as part of your treatment.
Will this interact with my birth control?
There's a Minor interaction documented — birth control pills might increase how much selenium your body holds onto, though we don't yet know if this matters clinically. It's not a reason to skip either one, but worth mentioning to your pharmacist if you're on oral contraceptives.
