Re: Question on Iodine vs Selenium Ratio
IMO risky if not impossible to give a good answer on this.
For some time I estimated 100 mcg of selenium methionine per 50 mg of iodine, but a limit on 400 -800 mcg depending of the selenium contents of the soil where you live.
I did 800 mcg for a few months, maybe on the high side. But for me it worked out, very low selenium contents of soil in Scandinavia.
Also I know that either Trapper or Wombat or Vulcanel took much or any selenium the first time of iodine, even on high(er) doses. They did well too.
So, individual, yes.
I would think that the selenium is most important for those with Hashimotos, Graves or other autoimmune responses.
For my own cases, several kids; I gave 100 mcg daily whatever dose of iodine, for the adults I gave more, adjusted to the
Iodine they took.
