Health Photovoltaic and photographic equipment use selenium for its chemical properties. The glass industry uses it for a pigment which imparts red color to glass and enamel. First identified in 1817 by Jons Jakob Berzeleus; selenium is named for the Greek word "selene" which means moon. Selenium is used in the human body to form selenoproteins which are antioxidants. They are not like other antioxidants which are primarily polyphenols. Although selenium can be obtained from some plants; the plants do not produce this substance as they do the vitamin antioxidants. The level of selenium present in plants varies according to the level in the soil where each plant is grown.

"Too much of a good thing", is a truism which would apply to high amounts of this nutrient. Levels higher than the upper tolerable level (400 micrograms per day) would result in minor selenosis symptoms like alopecia--loss of hair. In cases of higher amounts of dietary supplementation, cirrhosis of the liver or pulmonary edema could result. Selenium plays a role in thyroid function and its use may prevent goiters from developing. This is because of its iodine complement. Goiters are growths which occur on the thyroid located on the underside of the throat in the absence of dietary iodine. Selenium deficiency exacerbates this condition.
