Selenium is a chief component of the molecules, called seleno-proteins, which are necessary for the body to be able to create and use thyroid hormones.

Seleno-proteins:

• Regulate thyroid hormone production
• Support the conversion of thyroxine (T4) to triiodothyronine (T3).
• Protect the thyroid tissues
• Help balance thyroid hormone production

Enzymes arranged around selenium, called seleno-de-iodinases help to keep T3 at an appropriate level in liver, kidney, thyroid and brain cells. Glutathione peroxidase is another enzyme, which helps to limit T4 when its levels go on the high side.

The problems which selenium deficiency can cause are made more serious when Iodine is also deficient. Selenium is crucial in aiding the body to recycle Iodine. Selenium deficiency coupled with an Iodine deficiency is likely to lead to thyroid imbalance.

Many people who are diagnosed with a thyroid dysfunction have a deficiency of Iodine, but research has shown that some may have a significant selenium deficiency as well. It’s vital to treat both deficits in order to re-establish thyroid stability.

I have included Selenium in many of my formulations including: B4Health Spray, Daily Immune Protection, MaxiFocus and Active Life but have never had a Selenium product alone.

I can announce that Ionic Selenium is now available.

This liquid Ionic Selenium is a rich, yeast-free, highly concentrated form of Selenium which is most ‘recognised’ by the body (required for best absorption). Each serving will deliver 300mcg Selenium and there are x48 servings per bottle – so each bottle should last around 6 weeks if you just take one serving per day. It is gluten-free and suitable for vegans.

As Selenium is considered critical, to ‘activate the Iodine’, if you wish to shop for Iodine and Selenium together, there is a special pack within the Good Health Naturally store.

Upon taking the recommended amounts for daily maintenance (x6 drops Iodine, x1.25ml Selenium) this pack will last approximately 3 months. The Iodine bottle will last 3 months and the Selenium bottles around 6 weeks each – unless of course you require a higher dose, depending on your health status.

As a quick recap, Nascent Iodine:

• Contributes to normal Cognitive Function
• Contributes to normal Energy
• Contributes to normal functioning of the Nervous System
• Contributes to normal Thyroid Function
• Contributes to the maintenance of normal Skin

These are just the allowable health claims and as we all know, Iodine does so much more!
