Selenium ACE, Selenium With Zinc, etc?

[hypo_guy]

Hi everyone. As selenium is often sold in combination with other nutrients, which would you recommend: selenium on its own; selenium with vitamins A, C and E; selenium with zinc; or selenium with ACE and zinc?

Ideally I would regularly test for these nutrients but the cost is somewhat prohibitive!

Cheers.

Are you talking about a formula that contains selenium along with other vitamins/minerals as a combo in one pill? If that is the case, I would recommend taking the selenium as a single ingredient tab... no more that 200 mcg daily. I just like being able to control how much I take since some selenium is often included in multiple vitamin pills, etc.

Thanks phoenix23002. I've edited my original post to make it clearer.

I take 100mcg selenium in a mineral complex which also contains some zinc.

I take another 100mcg selenium as a separate supplement to top it up to 200mcg.

I take Vit C separately.

I take Vits A and E in my Vit D combo.

Thanks SeasideSusie. And your vitamin K?

[SeasideSusie Remembering in reply to hypo_guy]

In with the D3 combo

I take Solgar vitamin E with selenium (150mcg) & Zinc & vitamin A separately.

I take selenium with zinc. Seemed to be the least complicated option.

I started doing this about 6 weeks ago and my recent test results show that both my TSH and free T3 are within the normal range

Spoke too soon....my January test says both T4 and T3 are in the basement and my anti-bodies are over 4000 instead of below 125
