24 Jun 2020 --- The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)’s latest scientific opinion flags the safety of selenite triglyceride in dietary supplements. Its findings revealed that this lipophilic organic compound of selenium, proposed as a novel food (NF) supplement ingredient, provides selenium in an “unknown form.” Moreover, the bioavailability of the NF selenium form is not determinable. The EFSA panel therefore concluded that the NF is to be treated as a “xenobiotic with unknown properties in the body.”
