Makes a huge difference, watch your methionine intake re mthfr
For me, taking selenium is like a night and day difference in my health. Perfect skin, more energy, never getting sick, brain clarity, no hair fall, etc. If I don’t take it for a while and become slightly deficient (I live in the NW which soil maps show is deficient), then it takes about a week for me to see the benefits after re-supplementing 1-2pills a day. Chris Masterjohn has an excellent post about selenium that really answers any question you could possibly have re dosage, forms, why and whatnot, here is a quote I found esp important: So if methylation is needed to effectively utilize selenium and methylation is needed to get rid of excess selenium, then I suspect that in someone who has compromised regulation of the methylation pathway, whether it's because of genetics or other nutritional deficiencies, they're going to be more vulnerable to selenium deficiency and less able to utilize selenium safely, so vulnerable to both deficiency and toxicity with a more difficult time fixing either of them. It applies to me bc I am homozygous mthfr 677t and even with B2 and glycine I dont feel excellent until adding in selenium, but now knowing selenomethionine is recognized in the body as methionine and processed as such, youre going to really need that glycine to support the methylation to get access to that selenium. Hope that makes sense, read the Masterjohn post on selenium to get a better explanation. Anyway, thats what helps me feel incredible.
