For those who either never show antibodies with the vaccine or who choose not to vaccinate, this is a simple way to protect yourself from HepB. Of course it would help even those who have been vaccinated for HepB because no vaccine is 100% effective and most wear off over time anyways:

"no incidence of PLC was found in 113 subjects supplemented with Selenium. Again on cessation of treatment, PLC developed at a rate comparable to that in the control group, demonstrating that a continuous intake of Se is essential to sustain the chemopreventive effect."
