Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Are all seleniums the same or are some better than others? Donna - Duncan Crow The therapeutic window for selenium is 200-600 mcg daily, but higher doses have been studied and found to shrink tumors and reduce both HepC and HIV viral load (at 1100 mcg daily).Duncan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will experience differences just like they do with the various forms of calcium. In my town people are using selenium concentrated by yeast, and it's working fine. The point may be moot soon; the EU has banned 14 forms of selenium and thanks to our governments representing us in all their 'wisdom' we are harmonised with those decisions and selenium, a crucial mineral, will not be available at all without a prescription. Makes a good case for eating that selenium-concentrating broccoli from California, yes? That is, if it's not deemed to be a nutritional supplement itself.
