Oligosol (Sodium Selenite)

Sodium selenite is converted to selenide inside cells, which is then incorporated into selenocysteine during the synthesis of selenoproteins. These proteins, such as glutathione peroxidase and iodothyronine deiodinases, protect cells from oxidative damage and help convert thyroid hormones to their active forms.

The appropriate dose of Oligosol is determined by a qualified health professional based on individual selenium status, dietary intake, age and health condition. The prescriber will set the exact amount and frequency for each patient.

Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established. Oligosol should only be used if a health professional judges that the potential benefit outweighs any possible risk to the mother or infant.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the Oligosol product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Oligosol delivers selenium as sodium selenite, an inorganic form that is readily reduced to active selenide. Other supplements may use organic forms such as selenomethionine. Inorganic selenium is often chosen for its predictable conversion to selenoproteins, while organic forms may have different absorption characteristics.

Store Oligosol at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original container, protect it from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme heat to maintain stability and potency.

Oligosol is intended for oral or sublingual administration. The product is typically taken with water, following the dosage instructions provided by the prescribing health professional.

The most serious risks include selenosis from chronic excess intake, which can cause hair loss, nail brittleness, skin lesions, and severe gastrointestinal irritation. Allergic reactions such as rash, itching or swelling may also occur and require immediate medical attention.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to selenium or any component of the formulation should avoid Oligosol. Patients with uncontrolled thyroid disease, severe renal impairment, or those already receiving high‑dose selenium from other sources should consult a health professional before use.
