Selenium is a required proper immune function and as a cofactor for a number of enzymes, including glutathione peroxidase. With selenium deficiency, this enzyme is unable to function properly and results in a reduced ability to break down peroxide and an increased rate of thyroid cell necrosis and invasion of macrophages into an inflamed thyroid. Shown to decrease TPO antibodys in individuals with autoimmune thyroiditis and to improve quality of life symptoms in these individuals as well as those with other autoimmune diseases.

Suggested use: 1 per day

Precautions: There is evidence that excess selenium can reduce thyroid levels in individuals without autoimmune disease so should be used with caution in those without autoimmune thyroiditis or autoimmune disease.
