In this video, we’re going to talk about the importance of selenium for the thyroid. I wanted to really emphasize this point for those with thyroid problems.
If you’re supplementing iodine for your thyroid, don’t forget to take selenium. Selenium is just as important as iodine.
Selenium is vital to the enzymes that convert T4 into T3. This means that selenium is key to supporting normal and healthy thyroid function.
In fact, studies on animals show that giving iodine alone to deficient animals was found to cause irreversible thyroid gland fibrosis.
If you’re deficient in selenium and you’re using iodine, this could make things worse.
When selenium is given alone to iodine-deficient animals, it’s known to cause an aggravation of the iodine deficiency.
This suggests that you should always take iodine and selenium together.
Sea kelp is a fantastic natural source of selenium and iodine.
As a side note, selenium is vital to glutathione, which is an incredibly powerful antioxidant.
