High intakes of selenium can cause a garlic odor in the breath, metallic taste in the mouth and hair and nail loss or brittleness. Other signs and symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, skin rashes, mottled teeth, fatigue, irritability, and nervous system abnormalities. Brazil nuts contain very high amounts of selenium (68–91 mcg per nut) and could cause selenium toxicity if consumed regularly. The FNB has established ULs for selenium from food and supplements based on the amounts of selenium that are associated with hair and nail brittleness and loss at 400 mcg.
Selenium can interact with certain medications, and some medications can have an adverse effect on selenium levels:
Cisplatin. Cisplatin, a chemotherapy agent, is used to treat ovarian, bladder, lung, and other cancers can reduce selenium levels in hair and serum but whether these reductions have a clinically significant impact is not known.
Pea powder is a powder made by extracting protein and carbohydrate from yellow peas.
