The Claim
Six months of 200 μg/day selenium yeast supplementation in adults with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis increases serum selenium levels from a median of 73.6 μg/L to 187.2 μg/L and elevates glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPx3) and selenoprotein P1 (SePP1), indicating enhanced antioxidant capacity.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Taking 200 micrograms of selenium yeast daily for six months raises selenium levels in the blood and increases the activity of two selenium-dependent proteins involved in antioxidant defense in adults with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

Six months of 200 μg/day selenium yeast supplementation in adults with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis increases serum selenium levels from a median of 73.6 μg/L to 187.2 μg/L and elevates glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPx3) and selenoprotein P1 (SePP1), indicating enhanced antioxidant capacity.
What the research says
1 studyThis study found that taking selenium yeast pills for six months helped people with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis boost their selenium levels and improve their body’s natural antioxidant defenses, just like the claim says.
