What type of selenium is best for the thyroid?
Selenomethionine is often considered one of the best forms of selenium for thyroid health. This organic form of selenium is well-absorbed by the body and can be effectively incorporated into selenoproteins, which play crucial roles in thyroid function. However, other forms of selenium can also be beneficial for thyroid health when taken appropriately.
-
How long should I take selenium for my thyroid?
The duration of selenium supplementation for thyroid health can vary depending on individual needs and should be determined in consultation with a healthcare provider. Some studies have shown benefits with daily selenium supplementation over periods of 3–12 months. However, long-term use should be monitored to avoid potential selenium toxicity.

Can I take selenium if I have hyperthyroidism?
The relationship between selenium and thyroid function is complex, and selenium supplementation may affect thyroid hormone levels. In some cases, selenium may be beneficial for thyroid health, but in others, it could potentially exacerbate hyperthyroidism symptoms.
