Selenium – from Brazil Nuts or Supplement

Brazil Nuts are the best source of selenium, 2 or 3 a day is all you need. That is assuming that the tree grows in selenium-rich soil. The problem is, it may sound like a good idea, but people are not as consistent eating Brazil Nuts as they are supplementing.

Selenium is important!

  • Helps prevent cancer.
  • Really important for proper thyroid function. (Hashimoto’s friends, add 2 or 3 Brazil nuts daily if you aren’t supplementing).
  • Supports a healthy heart and immune system.
  • Reduces heavy metal toxicity.
