Micronutrients & recovery

Low selenium intake is associated with increased cancer incidence or mortality, although controlled epidemiological studies are limited by a lack of knowledge about precise intake levels.

Ensure adequate selenium intake through a varied diet including seafood, nuts, and grains. While laboratory studies suggest a link between low selenium and higher cancer risk, epidemiological evidence is not yet conclusive, so supplementation should be approached with caution and ideally under medical guidance.
