"Do you get
enough Selenium?
Selenium is
a mineral and is found in most
Multi-vitamins. However,
it is not always in a high
enough dose to have major
benefits.
A good dose
to take daily is 200mcg
(micrograms) each day.
Selenium is
helpful for proper thyroid
function. It also helps
make glutathione in the liver
which is a very important and
powerful anti-oxidant.
Selenium is also good for the
immune system and decreases
risk of developing diabetes.
Brazil nuts
are a good natural source of
selenium. About 5 Brazil
nuts a day will give you a
good daily dose."
