Aller-Aid Formula II
by NutriCology
100 Vegetarian Caps
A formulation providing a well tolerated source of selenium and other nutrients. Prepared solely from pure, high-mineral kelp. Contains traces of selenium, potassium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, copper, silicon, zinc, manganese, vanadium, cobalt and boron, provided by the kelp. Originally formulated for persons who are initially unable to tolerate Selenium Solution.
Suggested use of Aller-Aid Formula II :
As a dietary supplement, 1 capsule one or two times daily with meals, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
DO NOT EXCEED 400 MICROGRAMS OF SELENIUM PER DAY FROM ALL SOURCES.
Dietary selenium comes from nuts, cereals, meat, fish, and eggs. Brazil nuts are the richest ordinary dietary source (though this is soil-dependent, since the Brazil nut does not require high levels of the element for its own needs). High levels are found in kidney, tuna, crab and lobster, in that order.
Although selenium is an essential trace element, it is toxic if taken in excess. Exceeding the Tolerable Upper Intake Level of 400 micrograms per day can lead to selenosis. This 400 microgram Tolerable Upper Intake Level is primarily based on a 1986 study of five Chinese patients who exhibited overt signs of selenosis and a follow up study on the same five people in 1992. The 1992 study actually found the maximum safe dietary Se intake to be approximately 800 micrograms per day (15 micrograms per kilogram body weight), but suggested 400 micrograms per day to not only avoid toxicity, but also to avoid creating an imbalance of nutrients in the diet and to account for data from other countries.
