Patients with Hashimoto's LOVE selenium for one important reason:
It protects the thyroid gland from oxidative stress, inflammation, and damage.
It even has the potential to lower thyroid antibodies and improve T4 to T3 conversion.
But should you run out and start taking it? Not quite yet. You might want to, but there are a few things you should know:
1. It's easier to take more than you need.
2. You should get as much from your diet as possible and make up the difference with supplements.
3. Taking more than you need can increase your risk of diabetes and may cause low thyroid symptoms.
By the way, other supplements have been shown to reduce thyroid antibodies. If you want to see a list of those then check out this video:
