Brazil Nuts Selenium Status Randomized Trial	1 2 3 Metabolic impairment is characterized by an imbalance of homeostasis of the human body in favour of increased visceral fat, dyslipidaemia, compromised blood pressure and glucose/insulin regulation, and low-grade chronic inflammation [].	1	Godos Justyna (2022)	Effect of Brazil Nuts on Selenium Status, Blood Lipids, and Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials
Brazil Nuts Selenium Status Randomized Trial	The oxidative stress state exacerbated in these conditions is secondary to the release of cytokines, such as tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), leading to increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which have been considered a possible pathogenic mechanism underlying cardiovascular comorbidities [].	1	Godos Justyna (2022)	Effect of Brazil Nuts on Selenium Status, Blood Lipids, and Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials
Brazil Nuts Selenium Status Randomized Trial	Moreover, oxidative stress increases the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles, which in turn causes injury of the endothelium, contributing to an increased risk of atherosclerosis [].	1	Godos Justyna (2022)	Effect of Brazil Nuts on Selenium Status, Blood Lipids, and Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials
Brazil Nuts Selenium Status Randomized Trial	Purpose A vegan diet is associated with health benefits but may also lead to inadequate intake of essential nutrients.	2	Simon R (2025)	Improving the selenium supply of vegans and omnivores with Brazil nut butter compared to a dietary supplement in a randomized controlled trial.
Brazil Nuts Selenium Status Randomized Trial	Independent of the dietary pattern (vegan or omnivore), Brazil nut butter as well as supplement significantly increased serum selenium and SELENOP concentrations, while there were no changes in the placebo groups.	2	Simon R (2025)	Improving the selenium supply of vegans and omnivores with Brazil nut butter compared to a dietary supplement in a randomized controlled trial.
Brazil Nuts Selenium Status Randomized Trial	Conclusion Brazil nuts are a plant-based source of selenium suitable for vegans and omnivores to improve their selenium status when consumed once in a while.	2	Simon R (2025)	Improving the selenium supply of vegans and omnivores with Brazil nut butter compared to a dietary supplement in a randomized controlled trial.
Brazil Nuts Selenium Status Randomized Trial	Due to the lower selenium content in plant-based compared to animal-based foods, many vegans do not reach the recommended selenium intake in Europe.	2	Simon R (2025)	Improving the selenium supply of vegans and omnivores with Brazil nut butter compared to a dietary supplement in a randomized controlled trial.
