So taking 1 of those 200mcg selenium a week would do it pretty closely.

I am a little confused about the selenium. My daily multivitamin does not contain the selenium. I do take daily:
100mg. R-Lipoic (empty stomach)
2mg. MethylCobalamin (empty stomach)
150mg (2x's a day = 300mg's daily)
3,000mg's D daily (per doctor/tests)
Multivitamin (no selenium)

A while back ago, I purchased from iherb:

Best Ubiquinol (Kaneka QH) 100 mg softgels

Bluebonnet Chelated Magnesium 200mg+
(buffered magnesium glycinate chelate) VCap)


I have not taken any of the above because I was unsure if I should take them or not.

I am on Oxycontin, as well as Percocet for breakthru for PN pain.

Should I add the selenium to my daily diet? Also should use the Ubiquiol and the Magnesium?
Thanks for your help,
