Solgar Selenium 200 µg (Yeast Free) 250 Tablets is a selenium food supplement that provides 200 µg of selenium per tablet in the yeast-free form L-selenomethionine. It is made for anyone who wants a once-a-day selenium tablet without yeast, and the 250-tablet pack gives a supply that lasts 250 days at the directed dose.

Key Features

• Yeast-free selenium: The selenium is L-selenomethionine, an organically bound form, so the tablets are suitable for people with an intolerance to yeast.
• 200 µg in one tablet: Each tablet provides 200 µg of selenium, which is 364% of the Nutrient Reference Value (NRV).
• Authorised selenium claims: Selenium contributes to normal spermatogenesis, the maintenance of normal hair and nails, normal function of the immune system, normal thyroid function and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
• Free from common additives and allergens: Solgar states the tablets are free of gluten, wheat, dairy, soya, yeast, preservatives, sweeteners, and artificial flavours or colours.
• Suitable for vegans and vegetarians: Solgar lists this product as vegan and vegetarian.

How long does one pack last?

The pack contains 250 tablets. At the directed dose of one tablet a day, it lasts 250 days.

What is the difference between this and Solgar's yeast-bound selenium?

This product uses L-selenomethionine and contains no yeast. Solgar's Yeast Bound Selenium 200 µg tablets use selenium-enriched yeast and contain brewer's yeast, so the yeast-free tablets are the option for anyone who needs to avoid yeast.

Is 200 µg of selenium a day too much?

The NHS advises that taking 350 µg or less a day of selenium supplements is unlikely to cause harm. This product provides 200 µg in one tablet, and the directions are not to exceed one tablet a day.
