Selenium- itching reaction

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

I have tried Selenium in 3 different forms from 3 different companies

in an attempt to be able to take it and help my thyroid. Each time

with in a day of starting it, I itch all over. It starts out as dry

skin itchiness. By the second or third day I am scratching everywhere

and it is driving me crazy.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, did you ever find out what

caused it? It has been suggested that it is because the source was

not yeast free, but I specifically purchased yeast free selenium.

Thanks for any feedback,

> Selenium for thyroid? What about Iodine?

Thank you for your responses. No, I looked at the binders and they

are in other supplements that I take and don't have a problem.

There are many reasons to take selenium. One from my understanding is

that it helps convert T3 to T4 at the cellular level. I have all of

the symptoms of hypothyroidism with the labs being normal, which is

not untypical of PWC.

Any time I have tried Iodine containing supplements, I don't react

well. So I thought I would try Selenium. Plus a multi I am supposed

to take for the Yasko program has it in it. But I don't believe I will

be trying it any time soon.

Again, thank you.
