Selenium Supplementation Improves Metabolic Markers in Women with PCOS
Balance, Supported: The Metabolic Benefits of Selenium SeLECT®. At NÆRE, we look to the science behind equilibrium, to nutrients that work quietly but profoundly to support the body’s internal harmony. Selenium SeLECT®, a highly bioavailable and clinically studied form of selenium, exemplifies this philosophy.
In a randomised, double-blind clinical trial, women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) were supplemented with 200 mcg of selenium daily for 12 weeks. The results were significant:
18% improvement in insulin sensitivity
20% reduction in serum testosterone levels
15% decrease in oxidative stress markers
These findings reveal selenium’s role not only in metabolic function, but also in the modulation of hormonal balance, an area often underserved in nutritional research.
Metabolic Function, Rebalanced
Insulin resistance is a common and often unspoken element of hormonal disruption. By improving insulin sensitivity, selenium may help support more stable energy, better metabolic performance, and a gentler hormonal rhythm, particularly relevant for women experiencing PCOS or cycle-related imbalances.
Antioxidant Precision
Selenium is an essential trace mineral with powerful antioxidant properties, particularly in the form of selenoproteins. Its ability to reduce oxidative stress at a cellular level reinforces the body’s defences against inflammation, fatigue, and the downstream effects of chronic imbalance.
A Trace Mineral, A Profound Impact
Formulated into NÆRE for its nuanced role in hormonal support and cellular resilience, Selenium SeLECT® reflects our belief that strength often comes from the smallest, most refined elements - when they are chosen with purpose.
