What people say about Selenium and energy
“I take 200mcg eveyday, but for the first week I took 400mcg. It has exponentially helped my energy levels.”
“I took 200 ug per day for two months and noticed a difference in energy. Now I take 100ug per day and occasionally an extra 200ug.”
“200mcg of selenium everyday. Difference when I’m taking it and not taking it is absolutely astounding. Really improved thyroid numbers too.”
“I tried selenium for thyroid support but weirdly it ended up helping way more with energy and overall tiredness.”
