HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Selenium 200 mcg by Thorne
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
Thorne's Selenium 200 mcg is straightforward: one active ingredient, selenium, at 200 micrograms per capsule. The capsule itself contains microcrystalline cellulose and hypromellose, which are inactive binders and capsule materials — no other fillers.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Selenium is likely effective for treating selenium deficiency. For other conditions, the evidence is more limited: it's possibly effective for Kashin-Beck disease (a degenerative bone disorder), pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure in pregnancy), and autoimmune thyroiditis (an immune-driven thyroid condition).
For dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fats), the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
At 200 mcg daily, selenium is well tolerated by most people. The tolerable upper limit is 400 mcg daily, so this dose stays within safe range.
Common mild side effects at this level include stomach discomfort, headache, and rash. Avoid going much higher — excess selenium over time can cause hair loss, nail problems, nausea, fatigue, and skin issues.
There's also theoretical concern about very high doses and nerve damage. Pregnancy safety data is mixed (possibly safe to possibly unsafe), and lactation data suggests it's possibly safe — talk with your doctor before taking this if you're pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Double-check this product if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin) — Moderate risk of increased bleeding. Also check immune-suppressing medications (Moderate), barbiturates for sleep or seizures (Moderate), niacin for cholesterol (Minor), and oral contraceptives (Minor).
No interactions are documented for other drug types in our data.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Selenium 200 mcg is a straightforward supplement for people with low selenium intake or diagnosed deficiency. If you take blood thinners, immune suppressors, barbiturates, or niacin, check with your pharmacist first — this product interacts with each.
Otherwise, at this dose it's generally well tolerated in most people.

Selenium 200 mcg by Thorne Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Selenium by Thorne has several documented interactions with medications.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners (anticoagulants) and antiplatelet drugs like warfarin and aspirin — selenium may increase bleeding risk by enhancing your body's tendency to bleed. This is a Moderate severity interaction.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Immune-suppressing medications face a theoretical Moderate concern: selenium may stimulate your immune system and could reduce how well these drugs work. Barbiturates (sedating medications) may have their effects prolonged if you take selenium, since selenium can slow how your body breaks them down — also Moderate severity.
Niacin (a cholesterol medication) has a Minor interaction: selenium might reduce niacin's beneficial effects on HDL (good) cholesterol.
Finally, oral contraceptives show a Minor interaction — they may raise your selenium levels, though it's unclear if this matters clinically.
Altogether, these interactions span 317 individual medications. Use the medication checker on this page with your exact drugs before you start.

For each ingredient in Selenium 200 mcg 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.
