If this is a repeat I apologize but let me repeat something I read: If you allow others to shell your Brazil nuts and do not do it yourself you lose 75% of the selenium. Has anyone come across this before? I started on shelled Brazil nuts and was curious. I guess there is so much selenium in them it may not matter Positive Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hi Dennis: If you search the archives using the words " selenium brazil " for posts in 2007 you will find an earlier discussion of the claimed loss of 75% of the selenium. As it stands that claim does not seem to make a lot of sense to me. But if we knew who, and how, that conclusion was arrived at it would be possible to judge its merits better.

I would get the list of the ingredients, and go to a local health food store or online and purchase each one individually. Start them all one at a time. If he does well, keep it. If he does well with all of them, you can give the compounded supp, altho you won't be able to adjust the dose with the compounded one. I never used multis/compounded, because my son had problems with many supps, plus I wanted the ability to adjust the doses. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
