I have read on a lot about the importance of Selenium with those of us who have hypothyroidism.

Which Selenium is recommended and what dosage?

Has anyone heard of Tung Oil Selenium?

If I remember rightly it keeps me awake all night and makes me feel quite ill.

Selenium l-selenomethionine or yeast bound selenium are recommended as they are the most absorbable. Avoid selenite and selenate forms.

200mcg is suggested when Hashi's is present, 100mcg is said to be a safe amount.

I have read that we should take a break from time to time, maybe have a month off when bottle runs out.

Some people like to test before supplementing, Cerascreen to a selenium test.

Not heard of tung oil selenium.
