I have taken 200 mcg selenium supplement daily for many years due to the studies related to reduced HCC.  Chihep is correct, Brazil nuts have loads of selenium and one is enough daily.

Thanks Chihep
So, it's safer to go with Brazil nuts.... 3 to 4 per day?

I take 1-2 nuts per day. It means approximately 50-100 mcg.

Recommended daily dose of selenium is 55 mcg for adults and tolerable upper intake level is 400 mcg. But maximum toxic level of people who have liver disease has not been established. Brazil nuts is good source of selenium.
