Selenium
MegaFood Selenium is a single-mineral supplement providing 50 mcg of Selenium per tablet. This dosage is considered to be at a clinically studied level, which research suggests may support various bodily functions. The product contains only two ingredients, including a "Nourishing Food Blend" of 345 mg, which is a proprietary blend. This product received an N+ Score of 46, earning an 'F' grade, indicating a below-average rating primarily due to its limited formula completeness. While the label transparency is 100%, the overall score reflects a narrow scope of nutritional support.
