If you don't eat nuts, or fresh produce, whole foods, you might need the selenium. It is mostly critical for thyroid people.

It is one of the cofactors in converting T4 to T3 in the tissues.

Most multivits have some selenium in them. The mega types, can go as high as 200mcg each. But in the recent past has been
suggestions to keep multivits below 100mcg.

You could just use a Centrum Silver, as it has lots of minerals for seniors including selenium.

Less than Idiopathic's formula, in fact.
