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.
I had also mentioned, in my post, purchasing the Chelated Magnesium 200mg+ and the Doctor's Best Ubiquinol100mg featuring Kaneka QH. I had purchased them thinking this would be good for the PN, but was a bit concerned because of all the other supplements I am already taking, so I have not been using them. Again, would appreciate any input you could give me regarding using these supplements as well.
Thanks,
