What to watch with Selen and menopause?

Selenium is an essential trace mineral important for thyroid function and antioxidant defense. During menopause, requirements may be slightly increased, but deficiency is rare in Western diets. Caution is needed: excessive selenium intake (e.g., from supplements) can be toxic and cause selenosis. MyBody‑X tests are not medical devices and cannot diagnose selenium status. Evidence for targeted selenium supplementation in menopause is limited, mostly from observational studies. No validated genetic markers from the provided context support personalized selenium dosing. Consult a doctor for symptoms or before taking supplements.
