My husband takes 200 mcg a day plus his multi-vitamin has 140 mcg of it. Is this to much?

Thanks,

Selenium the cancer fighting mineral.....from what i've read up to 400mcg a day is fine , over 600mcg risk toxicity..

Actually selenium can accumulate & so he may not want to take this amt forever. Selenium toxicity can be nasty. You might want to look at his supplements, the form of the selenium can be a factor. The selenite form can be more toxic than some of the other selenium compounds.

Is he taking extra selenium for a specific reason?

Best wishes.
