Guest guest Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 hello gill i like higher nature *true food* selenium because it is very bio-available ....the following link explains: https://www.highernature.co.uk/introducingtruefood.aspx i take one a day and because selenium is reputed to help in the conversion of the pro-hormone t4 to the active hormone t3, (and i take my t4 at night), i also take the selenium at night. trish > > > Hi all > > Could anyone recommend a good brand of Selenium please... and also > advise on what dosage is recommended for thyroid sufferers. > > Thanks...

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Hi Trish Thanks for that. I'll give them a try. Not sure if you have an ebay account, but they're £2.00 cheaper on there. As I buy quite a lot from ebay I'm going to get them from there. (Every little helps!) Thanks again...

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 The recent successful study for Graves disease said 200ug(microgrammes), 100 morning 100 night, of Selenium Selenite (which is often what the actual ingredient actually is but not always).
