Guest guest Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Lee, that is what I always thought but on Janie's blog on STTM she has that it facilitiates the T4 to RT3 so people with those concerns should stop taking selenium. I did drop back to the once a day 200mcg but this was a new one for me. Sharon Remember! Dolls are people, too....have you hugged your dolls today?

I would just continue to take 200mcg a day. It is good to take whether you have a RT3 issue or not.Lethal Lee>> I just read in Janie's blog that selenium helps convert T4 to RT3. My doc had had me increase my selenium back in the winter. I am still taking quite a bit...200 mcg twice a day. So I dropped that down to once a day. Should I stop it altogether?
