Seems like its worth a shot as a nootropic. Can anyone recommend a reputable supplier for supplements?
It's really hard for me to trust that contents match labels for anything sold online. Even "third party tested" claims are hard to verify...

Supplementing selenium carries risk with very little reward. It is unlikely that you need more selenium than you are already getting with a normal, modern diet.
It's also naturally in most fish. Can of tuna has more than the RDA.
The reason why mercury in fish is mostly a non-issue is because selenium protects from mercury.
This study is not actually "new", it's a known property one of many.
Beware academics with "specialties", their one magic supplement becomes a cure-all for many things which never seems to pan out in the realworld.

Note that Selenium has been found to have toxicity at higher amounts. 200 mcg should be good once per day, but you should be aware of any signs of toxicity or interactions.
You can google other foods containing selenium and put together your own preferred selenium-rich meal.
