 High selenium yeast supplementation (200 mug/d) was evaluated in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Intention-to-treat analyses assessed the effect on HIV-1 viral load and CD4 count after 9 months of treatment.
Selenium-treated subjects whose serum selenium increase was greater than 26.1 microg/L evidenced excellent treatment adherence, no change in HIV-1 viral load, and an increase in CD4 count. Daily selenium supplementation can suppress the progression of HIV-1 viral burden and provide indirect improvement of CD4 (a certain type of white cells) count. The results support the use of selenium as a simple, inexpensive, and safe adjunct therapy in HIV spectrum disease. REFERENCE: Arch Intern Med. 2007 Jan 22;167(2):148-54.
