Hi LarryHere in Australia vitamin manufacturers are required by law to add the following statement on the label of any supplement containing selenium
"This product contains selenium, which is toxic in high doses. Signs of toxicity may include loss of hair and nails. Do not exceed a daily dose of 100 micrograms of selenium from all sources other than food."
What do you know about the Australian recommended doses of selenium in supplement form (of 100mcg MAXIMUM per day) and this warning on the labels of products containing selenium in Australia and the discrepancy between this and the recommended doses of selenium in North America?
