The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Selenoproteins: molecular pathways and physiological roles. (2014, background): “Se has been also implicated in mammalian development (181), immune function (292), inhibition of viral expression (19), and delaying the progression of AIDS in HIV-positive patients (40).”
Selenium in Human Health and Disease (2011, neutral): “Supplementation with L-selenomethionine (200 mg=day) plus vitamin E (400 IU=day all rac-a-tocopheryl acetate) as part of the SELECT study, in a healthy selenium replete group, did not reduce prostate cancer risk either (226).”
The importance of minerals in human nutrition: Bioavailability, food fortification, processing effects and nanoencapsulation (2017, positive): “An enhanced overall mortality has been associated with poor immunity, incidence and development of viral diseases/infections and unalterable brain injury (Rayman, 2012).”
Selenium in the Environment, Metabolism and Involvement in Body Functions (2013, background): “There was an inverse association between selenium concentrations and coronary heart disease incidences, especially in populations in which the selenium intake or the selenium status was low [56,63].”
