What is the idea behind a new website called seleniumfacts.com?
For the most part, what we want to do with this website is to present clinical research results from published, peer-reviewed studies of the safety and efficacy of selenium supplements.
A cousin website to the website q10facts.com
We want to try to do the same thing with seleniumfacts.com that we have been doing with q10facts.com website.
We want to report the results of human studies that have been done as randomized controlled clinical trials. We want to present the following types of information about selenium supplementation studies and selenium status:
- the study design
- the sample size
- the composition of the sample
- the selenium form and dosage
- the length of the study
- the confounding factors in the study
- the study results
- the researchers’ interpretation of the results
Intervention studies about selenium supplementation
Basically, there are two types of human studies: observational studies and intervention studies. The big difference between observational studies and intervention studies is that the researchers control the use of the independent variable in intervention studies but do not do so in observational studies.
