Well done! May I had that Selenite (Na2SeO3 is (i) selenium (Se) supplementation, but also (ii) cytotoxic drug depending on concentration & (iii) poison. Selenite should be classified as an active ingredient (AI) when admistrating intravenously selenite outside NOAEL and even LOAEL (400, 900 microgram Se/day ) especially using bolus. In that case selenite could reach blood cytotoxic concentration. For concentration > 1 to 5 micromol Se as selenite is a cytotoxic drug: - It’s general toxicity dose is ~ to those of arsenic salt. Approximate weight of 3 cafe beans 🫘reach lethal dose. - It has been studied since a long time as a chemotherapeutic agent in cell and phase I study (Brodin 2015). It induce redox cycling (eg DNA, mitochondria, reticulum) - It is teratogenic, mutagenic & possibly carcinogenic When used above LOAEL and in bolus, selenite should require accurate drug development including preclinical studies before testing in patients.
