Research has shown 200 mcg of selenium has helped lower antibody levels in autoimmune hypothyroid patients. I've heard from dietitians anywhere from 2-4 of these nuts a day are the recommended amount for adults. Any more than 4 per day could be too much, which could affect how you sleep (that at least happened to one dietitian). In the presence of hypothyroidism it's important to make sure you have the right level of iodine if you are going to supplement with selenium/brazil nuts. Iodine can also be tricky. It's easy to get too much so make sure you talk with a dietitian or primary care provider who is trained in this type of stuff.

I don't recall the exact micrograms, but the recommendation that I was given was 3 or 4 nuts per day would be a generous and ample supply.

Per Doctor Oz talking about thyroid, eat two per day. Too many Brazil nuts can be toxic.

I just called Life-Flo's product department regarding the mercury/heavy metal content and they said they test for all heavy metals (mercury, arsenic, and iron...) and there is no more than 10 parts per 1 million so that's a pretty low ratio. I have been hesitant to try it, but that makes me feel better.

Sheryl, Please read the ingredients as well as those NOT present. Since Selenium is mainly in fish, I "think" it would be listed if it were contained. Be sure to eat fish if you are not allergic to any fish products if you are interested in getting Selenium. Read all you can find on the internet but always take info found on the internet with grain of salt! That is the best I can offer you other than to suggest that you contact Nature's Bounty directly. Good luck!

One serving is 2.5 tablespoons which, according to Consumer Lab, amounts to 0.95 mcg/gram or 0.95 ppm of cadmium. The upper limit is 0.3 mcg/gram (0.3 ppm). This is over 3 times the limit. One serving is 14 grams, not 26 pounds. The amount cadmium ingested is weight dependent so children's exposure could be much higher.
