HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Selenium by Performance Lab

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
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 as NutriGenesis. Selenium is an essential mineral your body uses for antioxidant protection, thyroid function, and immune support.

The capsule itself is made from pullulan and includes a flow agent — these are inactive ingredients that help the product work as a capsule.

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).

The evidence we hold shows selenium is likely effective for treating selenium deficiency. It's rated possibly effective for Kashin-Beck disease (a joint and bone disorder), pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure in pregnancy), and autoimmune thyroiditis (thyroid inflammation).

For dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fat levels), the evidence suggests it's ineffective. Your actual results depend on whether you're truly deficient and the specific condition you're taking it for — talk with your doctor about what to expect.

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 is generally well tolerated at recommended doses that stay below 400 mcg daily. At normal dietary amounts, it's considered fine.

The most common side effects at standard doses are mild: gastric discomfort, headache, and rash. However, excess selenium is toxic and can cause hair loss, skin inflammation, nail damage, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss.

In rare cases, very high doses have caused multi-organ failure. Long-term high doses may also increase the risk of certain skin cancers and potentially affect nerve health.

We have no pregnancy or breastfeeding data on file for this ingredient — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use if you're pregnant, planning to become 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.

Before taking this product, double-check with your pharmacist if you use blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel) — selenium may increase bleeding risk. Also verify with your doctor if you take barbiturates (sedating medications), immunosuppressants, or niacin.

No interactions are documented for the ingredients we could not check.

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.

Selenium is a good choice if you have a true selenium deficiency or are interested in supporting your thyroid and immune health at normal doses. Be careful if you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, warfarin, barbiturates, or immunosuppressants — those interactions are Moderate-severity.

Stick to recommended doses and don't exceed 400 mcg daily unless your doctor says otherwise. Check your medications with the tool on this page before you start.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Selenium 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.

NutriGenesis6 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 by Performance Lab: Common Questions

Does Selenium by Performance Lab interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Selenium 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 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.
How much selenium is safe to take daily?
Selenium is generally well tolerated up to 400 mcg daily. The facts we have don't specify the dose in this product, so check the label and confirm with your pharmacist or doctor that it fits your needs — especially if you're taking it long-term.
What happens if I take too much selenium?
Excess selenium causes selenosis — a toxic condition that can affect your liver, skin, nails, and hair. You may experience hair loss, skin rashes, nail damage, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. In very rare cases, extremely high doses have caused organ failure. Stick to the recommended dose.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data on file for this ingredient. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding — they can advise based on your individual situation.
Does selenium actually work for thyroid health?
The evidence shows selenium is possibly effective for autoimmune thyroiditis, an inflammatory thyroid condition. For general thyroid health in people without a deficiency or diagnosed thyroid disease, we don't have established evidence in our data — talk with your doctor about whether it's right for you.
What are the side effects?
At normal doses, the most common side effects are mild: gastric discomfort, headache, and rash. High doses can cause hair loss, skin inflammation, nail changes, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. Stay within the recommended dose to minimize risk.
