Supplements!

Just a quick not for anyone who is interested in taking the supplements I mention in this blog:

I take the selenium and vitamin E in the morning with breakfast. Vitamin E maximises the absorbtion of selenium.
Taking selenium with other vitamins can counteract the absorbtion of the selenium. A lot of people get small amounts of selenium in their multi vitamins but becuase it is mixed with other vitamins it usually will not be asorbed properly in the body.

I take all my other vitamins and minerals at night after dinner.
It's good to put a space of 4-5 hours inbetween taking selenium and any other supplement.

    Thanks Peter!
    I'm glad you are enjoying my blog!
    I'm also an avid food lover. Food is pretty much my life. It was hard to have to go off dairy but I knew if I didn't then I wasn't going to have a very good quality of life.

    Dear Crystal,
    In what form is your vitamin E, as in Bulgaria I can only find it dissolved in soya oil. What brand are you using, maybe I can buy it online and get it shipped over. Thank you.

    It is common to have hyperthyroid symptoms with Hashimoto's. I sure did! Your thyroid is being destroyed so it will sometimes put out too much hormone causing you to have hyper swings.

    Here is a link to the vitamin E I take.

    I do believe they will ship to Bulgaria.
