Re: Nutrition 21's Selenomax(R) Suppresses Progression of HIV

[Guest guest]

Note that some news sources are repeating the story

with incorrect dosages. " In their study, Hurwitz's

team randomly assigned some 260 HIV-infected adults

with no other major diagnosis to take 200-milligram

capsules of inactive yeast (placebo) daily or

200-milligram capsules of high-selenium yeast. "

The dose used in the study was 200 micrograms

(millionth of a gram), not milligrams (thousandth of a

gram). Selenium in high doses can be harmful.

WOW! This is yet the third brand-name attribution added to this dubious news!

A better search for anyone to perform when considering the outcomes noted here would be on the leader researcher and selenium. It seems that Dr. Hurwitz, professor of psychology, published a similar finding regarding cardiovascular health and selenium three weeks ago. The supplement makers must be funding this work well.

This link contains the original publication from the Archives of Internal Medicine. The actual changes in viral load and CD4s, as well as the wide variation in outcomes, leaves the statistics nerd in me unimpressed.

I did a search after reading this article, and it

seems that at 900-1000

mcg, selenium becomes toxic and can cause hair and

nails loss (scary)

allergic reactions and more, but at 200mcg or below

seem to be safe

and in mice and rats studies selenium seem to be

protect against some form of cancer.

In any case check your multivamins and other

supplements, most likely is already in there.

In my case it turns out my Multivatimin has already

50mcg and my antioxidant supplement has 100mcg.
