they work well for me and I believe its far the best way of taking selenium..and definitely the most enjoyable. Just don't pig out on them too often but a couple to a few a day is fine.
The thing about standardisation is all wrong IMO, as its the amount one absorbs that counts.. not the amount in a pill!
Also my body at least, and I presume the huge majority of living things have this really fantastically clever mechanism for judging the optimal intake, which seems to be so complicated noone can even guess how it works..but which seems to work well.
it's called..
Gee I Love these..can't eat enough of them
Gee I don't care if I eat these or not.. no craving and "drive" to eat them
Gee I don't want anymore of these really..I guess if I force myself (don't)
Gee I am sick of the sight of these.. NO moreIt's your bodies way of saying I have enough of whatever this food contains.
Some days I actually feel like some foods ...and it always seem to work out that whatever was high in those foods is what I was short on... excepting sugar maybe, but even that is telling one your receptors are probably saying more glucose.. like am I getting insulin resistant?, short on B1, low on insulin due to an automimmune diabetics developing..etc?Works well for most living things..even my dogs, but all animals and even plants I guess!..
Just my opinion though all of this, but it does seem to be how my body works.
I used to get a LOt of dark brazil nut chocolate.. but we seem to be being USized here and now its being replaced by hazelnuts-yuk!YUK!Jan
