Aqueous Selenium™ by Biotics Research delivers selenium in a liquid aqueous form, designed for those who prefer or require an alternative to capsules or tablets. Selenium is a trace mineral that supports antioxidant enzyme function, thyroid hormone metabolism, and immune system maintenance.
Why It's Worth Considering: The liquid format allows for flexible dosing and may support faster absorption compared to solid-form supplements — a practical choice for practitioners working with patients who have difficulty swallowing pills or need precise titration.
For maintenance: 100-200mcg daily (selenomethionine form preferred). For thyroid support: 200mcg. The RDA is 55mcg but most functional medicine practitioners recommend 100-200mcg. Do NOT exceed 400mcg/day — selenium has a narrow therapeutic window and excess causes selenosis (hair loss, nail brittleness, GI issues).
Yes — selenium is critical for thyroid function. It's required for the enzyme that converts inactive T4 to active T3, AND it protects thyroid cells from oxidative damage. In Hashimoto's, 200mcg selenium daily reduces TPO antibodies by 20-40% in clinical trials. It's one of the most evidence-based supplements for thyroid health.
One Brazil nut contains 70-90mcg selenium — so 2 nuts/day provides a therapeutic dose. However, selenium content varies dramatically by soil (some nuts have 10mcg, others have 300mcg). If you rely on Brazil nuts, be cautious about overconsumption — 4-5 large nuts could exceed 400mcg. A supplement provides a consistent, known dose.
