How Important is Selenium for Thyroid Function?

[@AP-nx6xo]

Started 200mcg selenium for hypothyroid. My nails are stronger and my hair is getting back to its original thickness .. so happy! I also take 30 mg zinc

[@samsonbabayan6894]

Take the organic liquid form

[@sheilamore3261]

Thank you I need some kind of help I get shaking really bad like I’m freezing cold I wonder if I’m eating that 200 mg of selenium

[@KenDBerryMD]

Selenium and Iodine/Iodide are both vital for Thyroid Optimization!

[@Ibrainandbody]

Thank you for the shout out doc!

[@sarahonyeoziri743]

Is selenium good for over active thyroid

[@NMW80]

Sarah Onyeoziri I think so yes but I’m not sure but he did say That it helps with autoimmune thyroid issues so yeah I think it will help. Also make sure you have good amount of sun light aka vitamin d cos i read you get less autoimmune issues when vitamin d is not low.

Can I take selenium and milk tistle together?

[@ellengolden6207]

Undiagnosed hypothyroid for years (with all the symptoms) because I had normal TSH but after going to specializing clinic - they blood tested extremely low level Free T3 which was the proof that I needed support! I definitely am taking selenium now. Thanks!

[@youtubebang7798]

Ellen Golden hi can i take selenium even if i had liver damaged cause by meds?

[@MixtapeBeast]

@@youtubebang7798 oh look into milk thristle, dandelion root, ringer, black seed oil, and turmeric they help repair the liver. The cleanest source of selenium I found was from Brazil nuts. To Brazil nuts a day give you all the selenium you need

[@NMW80]

LTG219 good to know thank u, I already knew they had good amounts of selenium but not that much. I have trouble absorbing nuts properly sadly due to poor digestion so maybe I need to take supplements.

[@davesaenz3732]

Selenomethionine is what I started taking today first thing in the morning. Will repost after 6 weeks when I redo labs. This was recommended by my doctor who practices natural medicine. I have a slughish interactive thyroid by the way. FYI.

[@KitKatToeBeans]

Any improvement update? I have nodules on my thyroid and only just heard about Selenium.

[@TEAMKIRK22]

Best description I've seen thus far!

[@francellabrown7472]

Thanks much for yr advice I'm going to start taking selenium liquid.i have overactive thyroids

[@ethiopian_orthodox_faith6448]

My entire thyroid is removed (total thyroidectomy), and takes daily treatment of Syntroid 0.2 mg for the past 20 years to replace my thyroid's natural function. I check once a year with my endocrinologist and regularly with my primary care physician to perform blood test. The blood test on my T3, T4 and TSH shows normal but my body tells me other wise. I have a chronic fatigue, my hair loss, brittle nails etc and the Doctors are not helping. I am doing my own research and ran across your site and needed some advice on the course of action.

Perfectly informative video compressed into just 5 minute. Thank you! (Offtopic: The way you keep saying "okay" would make for a good drinking game 😛)

[@lisaharrison8754]

Hashimotos thyroid issues I will be getting this selenium at my health food store

[@dmitriyyurchenko3047]

I have hyperthyroidism, would this help it to be back to normal ?

[@catalina8677]

Great explanation! How much Selenium daily supplement would one need to take to help the Thyroid ?

[@multipurposecharm7218]

Hello respectable doctor please tell me. What is the good type of selenium.

[@davesaenz3732]

Selenomethionine. This is what my natural doctor recommended. I hope this helps.

[@tiafatss2001]

Are selenium supplements good?

[@JustMe-gs9xi]

Good,,,, short and sweet,,,, just enuf info.

[@andreasanchez2815]

I have an underactive thyroid I wish I could just eat brazil nuts, super high in selenium but all nuts hurt my stomach so bad. I have so many allergies due to low stomach acid & can't increase stomach acid due to stomach ulcers/ hernia. it's a nightmare lol.

[@sheilamore3261]

Thank you yeah I’m taking a supplement I hope it helps too

[@zaidadalvie8299]

I was told that I have a sluggish thyroid, im struggling to lose weight even on low carb, I bought selenium 2 days ago. do you think it will work?

[@nessawithsmiles]

Has it been working?

[@gardensofthegods]

Yes , i too am wondering if you noticed a difference . i bought at the health food store lugol's style iodine ...i bought OJIO brand ... you do not ingest it , but instead you rub it on the skin where you have some fat ... i rub it on the belly and you do have to be careful that you don't ruin your clothing . You'll see it get absorbed pretty quickly ... sometimes you might have to do more later that day ... i think at first you have to do more to sort of get caught up with having more iodine . After a while you may only need to do it a couple times a week . First thing i noticed is my skin was a lot softer and not dry like it was before ... same thing with my hair . It definitely will help with weight loss or let me put it this way : you will not gain weight as easily . i do not have a weight problem but in the past , two times in my life where i was eating a lot of cakes , cookies , chocolate , sugars ... and gained weight , i know how long it took before i started to gain that weight . Since last May , i started eating a lot of sugary stuff again , cakes and cookies , raisin toast , chocolates ... two teaspoons of brown sugar in EACH cup of tea and i was drinking A LOT of tea .. for the longest time i did NOT gain any weight at all and when i finally did i only gained maybe 10 to 12 lbs . which will be easy for me to lose (now that the weather is cooling down and i can get out there doing the British race walking , which really works and is better than jogging or running ) . In the past , the two times i gained weight from probably the same amount of those sugary products i gained probably 30 lbs . you might want to go look for Doctor Group channel . over four years ago when stars was the big virus he did a video about the importance of iodine with respect to fighting viruses and boosting the immune system . i think the video may have been called something like Doctor Group answers your questions about iodine or Doctor Group answers your questions about viruses .

[@gardensofthegods]

Also please see the videos about British race walking which has become an Olympic sport .

[@lilyofthevalley4740]

If selenium convert T4 to T3 then it will effect bad effect on hyperthyroidism

[@johnny_baccarat5150]

[@chrismunns3480]

My tsh was a little high. Why?

[@adalineproulx9773]

soak the nuts for 8 hrs first to get rid phytic acid which blocks absorbtion.

[@wimxwim]

Hello Dr. I am female I am 40 and have a low level in T4 T3 and very high TSH level ( it is 20) since 10 years (after a tubal ligation operation). When I saw your video I started to take 400mg selenium per day for 3 month and my test result did not change to better level what can be the problem? Thank you for your help.

[@cuarajhyrojayju4397]

I don’t think he will give you a personal consultation here but according to my research selenium should be taken with iodine starting 200 mg selenium check other videos about iodine deficiencies you have to do your own research that is what I’m doing I started taking iodine now I just learned that I need to take it with iodine good luck

[@AP-nx6xo]

Be careful with iodine

[@Lauren-vd4qe]

add 2 drops of thyroid per day

[@Oilofmercy]

Can you recommend a highly absorbable type of selenium? I heard L selenomethionine is the best. please help!

[@jdwhit_7380]

The three forms of selenium most important in cancer prevention are sodium selenite, L-selenomethionine, and selenium-methyl L-selenocysteine. These three compounds differ in the way your body handles them, and in their impact on your risk for cancer. For example, the organic selenium compound L-selenomethionine is better absorbed than inorganic sodium selenite. But inorganic sodium selenite more effectively increases genetic expression of the main selenium-containing antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase. In general, the three selenium compounds complement one another in the ways they affect your body's expression of important proteins involved in cancer prevention and suppression. In addition, all three selenium compounds induce cell death in various cancer types, but each compound is better at destroying some cancers than others.

[@Oilofmercy]

Very interesting thank you.

[@delvinqela2999]

So in my perception i would go natural as God created things....1-2 Brazilian Nuts are more enough for daily dose....1 nut contains 55mg of Selenium..which is 100%daily recommended dose.. All the best to you hope this helps.

[@jeffreyvidal7809]

How much selenium or zinc

[@rspen2142]

I don't know about zinc, but from my research too much selenium is bad for a person. Do not exceed 400 mcg daily.

[@jeffreyb8152]

Brazil nuts for selenium

[@Pomelu]
