“Influence insulin sensitivity. Alter estrogen synthesis. Interestingly, the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT) reported that higher plasma omega-3 fatty concentrations were associated with an increased risk of developing prostate cancer.”

“The formula and the person both matter. Vitamin K can interact with warfarin, and iron, preformed vitamin A, vitamin B6, iodine, selenium, zinc, and other nutrients can become excessive when products are stacked.”

“Bill Harris and Rhonda Patrick discuss a questionable, potentially spurious association between omega-3 and selenium supplementation and prostate cancer. While omega-3 is more well-known for generally promoting cancer protection, the 2008 SELECT trial seemed to show something alarming: an association between vitamin E, omega-3, and selenium supplementation and prostate cancer.”

“Selenium. Alcohol interferes with nutrient absorption in several ways: It causes structural changes to the intestinal mucosa. It alters microbiome composition.”

“For example, heavy metal concentrations are elevated in breast milk. Cadmium, a toxic metal that impairs the metabolism of nutrients essential to infant development, including selenium, zinc, copper, and magnesium, poses a particular threat because it is also a carcinogen.”

“FTA: > Higher levels of selenium are associated with a decreased risk of colorectal cancer, according to new research. The study has also shown that Europe has much lower levels of selenium in the blood of citizens than those living in Canada and USA.”

“Tissue depletion of gamma tocopherol may be an especially important missing link that helps explain the correlation between vitamin E supplementation and prostate cancer established in the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT).”

“In this clip, Bruce provides both an evolutionary and a molecular rationale for his theory. His research team has shown this triaging in vitamin K2 and selenium and postulates it is probably true for many other micronutrients.”

“In this member Q&A clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick reviews selenium, zinc, carnitines, CoQ10, folate, and marine omega-3s in sperm biology. A meta-analysis of randomized trials found improvements in selected semen measures with some antioxidant and nutrient interventions, but formulations varied and pregnancy or live-birth outcomes were limited.”
