Although numerous dietary factors influence the fatty acid profile of human breast milk, little is known about the effect of trace minerals such as selenium. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of selenium supplementation during pregnancy and lactation on the concent
The selenium content of human milk, cow's milk and cow's milk infant formula were estimated by instrumental neutron activation analysis. The highest values were found in 3 samples of human colostrum (524--865 x 10(-9) g/g dry weight). There was a significant decrease with increasing time post partum
## Abstract Supplemental selenium (Se) as selenate, selenomethionine, or Se‐enriched yeast at 100–200 μg Se/day causes an increase or prevents a decline in human milk selenium content during the first 6 months of lactation. In this study, we evaluated the impact of supplemental Se as sodium selenat
