Selenium

ModerateSolid evidence with some caveats.

Selenium is one of the few supplements with real evidence behind it for Hashimoto's. Several controlled trials show that selenium, often around 200 micrograms of selenomethionine daily, can lower TPO antibody levels. Whether that means feeling better long term is less certain. It is reasonable to consider, especially if your levels are low, and it is not a cure. Talk to your clinician first.
