Sodium selenate is an inorganic molecule, while other forms are not. It is cheap, but is toxic at low doses beyond normal supplement levels.

The study only used this form, but used actual selenium in the blood as the marker for benefit, so the form used likely doesn’t matter, as any form of selenium would increase blood levels of selenium.

According to ConsumerLab.com, the Upper Tolerable Limit for actual selenium (not a compound) is 400 mcg daily. There’s no likely need to go above that, and I routinely get about half that from my supplements.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This potentially high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Now keeping a new list (“Common/Top Issues”) for conditions expected to only concern at least 1% of the population. Ask to be on either the “Common/Top Issues” or “Everything” list.

Please email or private message me if you want on or off of a list and of which list you desire.

So does this suggest we should eat more Brazil nuts (which are high in Selenium)?

Two Brazil nuts a day.

Because a cardiologist has ALL his patients take CoQ10 and selenium daily I added selenium to mine since I have been taking CoQ10 for years already.

But I did not want *another* supplement. So I buy 2 pound bags of Brazil nuts and eat one nut every day. That is about 97mcg *per nut*. This is cheaper and easier than buying another supplement.
