It's like most other things. Too little is bad, and too much is worse. The right amount? Hard to say, but most selenium tablets are only 200 mcg (that's MICROgrams, not milligrams, 200 millionths of a gram). This is a very small amount, and the recommendation is one tablet per day.
Quote from Jonathan Wright: "Selenium. Garlic and onions are the only common foods high in selenium, so if you're not allergic to them, include plenty in your diet -- along with the ginger. And I also recommend supplementing the onions and garlic with 200-500 micrograms of selenium daily. But don't overdo it; it is possible to overdose at quantities of 1,500 to 2,000 micrograms daily." As somebody else mentioned, Brazil nuts are also high in selenium.

I have just ordered some because I thought it was beneficial!

I have also been informed that supplemental selenium long term can be toxic. Maybe daily brazil nuts is a better option to protect from agyria and depletion. ************************************** See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004)
