Recommendations

The suggested intake by nutrition experts is 50 to 200 micrograms for adults, which the average diet in the U.S. usually provides. Selenium is often available in multi-vitamin and mineral supplements.

Specific recommendations for each nutrient depend on age, gender, and other factors (such as pregnancy). The U.S. Department of Agriculture has a PDF file that lists these recommendations.
