Reference ranges
In the USA, the Dietary Reference Intake for adults is 55 µg/day. In the UK it is 75 µg/day for adult males and 60 µg/day for adult females. 55 µg/day recommendation is based on full expression of plasma glutathione peroxidase. Selenoprotein P[1] is a better indicator of selenium nutritional status, and full expression of it would require more than 66 µg/day.[2]
