Selenium
Antioxidant defense · Thyroid function · Male reproductive health
100 mcg
Part of RECOVERY / PM, taken at night.
Form, dose and role.
- What it is
- Selenium is an essential trace mineral required for normal thyroid function, normal spermatogenesis and protection of cells from oxidative stress.
- Why DEXO chose it
- Selenium has human research in male reproductive health and a clear role in antioxidant defense.
- Why this form
- Selenium (as selenomethionine). Selenomethionine, a well-absorbed organic form.
- Why this dose
- 100 mcg is a conservative daily amount well below commonly cited upper intake levels.
- Its role in the system
- The relevant human research comes from fertility populations: in 69 men attending a subfertility clinic, pooled selenium treatment improved sperm motility versus placebo over three months. That does not transfer to healthy fertile men, and more selenium is not automatically better.
