When to take selenium for thyroid?

Haan, thyroid issues are quite common now na? My aunt takes selenium but only after her endocrinologist prescribed it. You shouldn't just start taking it on your own. It's a mineral, need to be careful with dosage.

For something as specific as thyroid and a supplement like selenium, it's absolutely crucial to speak to an endocrinologist. At a good hospital, they will test your levels and tell you the exact dosage, if at all needed. Self-medication can be risky.

I totally get it, thyroid issues can be so confusing with all the information out there. Before taking selenium, please consult your doctor. They can check your current levels and see if you actually need it, and what dose would be safe.

Please, don't ignore what your body is telling you. I ignored a few things once and later regretted it. For something like thyroid and selenium, definitely consult a doctor. They'll advise on dosage and timing after proper tests. Better safe than sorry!

My doctor explained that selenium is important for converting thyroid hormones, but you need to be deficient to benefit. He advised checking blood levels first. Overdosing can cause problems, so it's not something to just start on your own. Always better to get a medical opinion.
