Today’s episode is a spotlight on the power of selenium. This essential mineral plays a vital role in hormone balance, thyroid health, egg and sperm quality. We lose minerals constantly through our monthly flow, poor food quality and medications (ie. birth control pills).
Most research available suggests that selenium is very beneficial for male fertility, but we are now seeing some studies suggest that it may be helpful for women as well. Newer studies suggest that it can help preserve or improve egg quality and quantity due to its antioxidant properties.
I often prescribe selenium in cases of thyroid dysfunction, so I tend to think there is a pattern when it comes to infertility and subclinical thyroid disorders. Adequate levels of selenium may also improve fertility in cases of ovulatory dysfunction as well as prevent miscarriages
How much is the sweet spot? Tune into today's episode to get the scoop on selenium and how it can improve your conception efforts.
