The content of selenium in food depends on the amount of its presence on the soil. Selenium cannot simply be supplied with proper nutrition because the soils of most European areas are generally very poor in selenium. Central Europe leads to a lack of selenium in the soil.
Selenium overdose may exist when doses of 400-800µg per day are taken for a long time.
In vitamin supplements, selenium is found in organic (selenomethionine) and inorganic form (Na-selinite and selenate). And while organic selenium is absorbed almost completely, mostly up to 90%, inorganic selenium is absorbed much less. Smoking and alcohol consumption can reduce selenium levels.
