It was not until 1973 that the importance of selenium in a nutritional role was ascertained. Human studies around the world continue to show the key role that it plays in maintaining long-term health. Selenium can only be obtained through dietary intake. A healthy diet should form the basis of good nutrition. However leading a busy life often makes eating regular, nutritionally balanced meals difficult. Selenium can be obtained from whole-wheat cereals, kidney, liver, shellfish, Brazil nuts & oily fish. Over the past few years an increasing number of the population have begun to obtain selenium from a nutritional supplement.
