The meta-analysis (study of studies), published in the journal Scientific Reports, concluded: “High selenium exposure may have different effects on specific types of cancer.
“It decreased the risk of breast cancer, lung cancer, oesophageal cancer, gastric cancer and prostate cancer, but it was not associated with colorectal cancer, bladder cancer and skin cancer.”
Nonetheless, “if you take potassium supplements, do not take too much as this could be harmful”, advises the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).
According to the public health body, Taking 350μg or less a day of selenium supplements is unlikely to cause any harm.
