Selenium is a trace mineral, needed by the body in very small amounts. On chemist shelves you will rarely find it alone. It appears mostly inside antioxidant capsules and multimineral tablets, where it is one of several actives.
These products are recommended by general physicians, gynaecologists, dermatologists and doctors in fertility and wellness clinics. They sell through retail pharmacies, chains and online health stores, so a franchise partner with good chemist coverage can build steady volume.
Where selenium shows up in listed products
Companies on this page offer selenium in:
- Tablets and capsules with multivitamin and mineral blends
- Soft gelatin capsules with antioxidants such as lycopene
- Syrups and suspensions
- Dry syrups
Common partners are zinc, lycopene, folic acid and vitamin E. Because most of these are food supplements, the label wording is regulated, so steer clear of any product whose carton makes disease claims.
Comparing nutraceutical franchise offers
Nutraceutical ranges look alike at first glance, so dig into the details. Count how many antioxidant, mineral and women's health products the company carries, and whether it has a syrup range for children. Compare PTR, MRP and your margin after schemes. Ask for the monopoly area in writing. Check carton finish and softgel quality, since these products are often bought by consumers who notice packaging. Confirm the expiry return policy and the promotional support: product cards, samples and display material for chemist counters.
Getting selenium supplements made under your brand
For third-party manufacturing, start with the formula: which selenium source, what other actives and the pack you want. Tell the manufacturer your minimum order quantity, the packing material such as bottles, blisters or pouches, and the label text you plan to print. Ask for stability data, certificates of analysis and confirmation that the formula fits FSSAI nutraceutical standards. Check that the plant holds a valid FSSAI licence for supplements, or a drug manufacturing licence with Schedule M GMP if the product is a medicine, and keep your GST registration in order.
