Selenium supplement recommendations please?

[Camomile1]

Hi Folks Id like some recommendations on good selenium supplements that can help raise T3 levels. I tried Brazil nuts but can’t seem to tolerate them at all - with my IBS flaring up whenever I take any. Thanks in advance!

Selenium l-selenomethionine or a yeast bound selenium for best absorption, don't buy selenite or selenate forms as they have poor absorption.

I like Cytoplan selenium as it is a very small tablet with no odour, a lot of selenium supplements have an unpleasant odour

It's frequently on 3 for 2.

Although it's a yeast bound selenium it's suitable for people with Candida and yeast sensitivities.

Thanks very much!

I think Selenium has helped reduce my eye swelling and dark circles. Definitely feel better all round. This may be combination of Thorne Basic B, D3 and K2 and Selenium, which I’m taking daily.

Hi Camomile 1, I followed Seaside Susie’s advice re Selenium l-selenomethionine. I was wary of Brazil nuts, as you can’t be certain how much selenium they contain. I take 200mg supplement to help with Hashi and TED symptoms. Hope they work for you!👍

Hey, what symptoms did you have from hashis and did taking selenium help with them?

If you can get KAL products in the UK, their selemethionine 100 mcg (I take two) is a high quality product with cellulose, steric acid and silica as its only fillers. And it’s not smelly. I have also used Pure Encapsulations - a prescription grade supplement - but they smell.

I find the best selenium supplement to take is the BioCare Nutrisorb Liquid Selenium. The dose is one drop (not dropperful) twice a day, or as it take it 2 drops once a day in a little water.

Forgot to put - can be taken sub-lingually, which is probably better.

l-selenomethionine in capsules for me, but I would test it before and after, I talked to a Prof who specialises I selenium, even though us, Hashis, are low in it, our bloods might show elevated levels, that doesn't mean we have too much, but you do need a benchmark. He also said that selenium, even once discontinued, gives you effects up to 6 months

Thanks to all for your recommendations!
