Finding Evidence of the Efficacy and Safety of Selenium in Treating Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: A Systematic Literature Review

The document was a systematic review of the literature on the efficacy and safety of selenium in the treatment of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The review aimed to gather and analyze existing evidence to determine whether selenium supplementation could be beneficial for patients with this autoimmune thyroid disorder. The findings suggested that selenium might have a positive effect on reducing thyroid antibodies and improving the quality of life in patients, but the evidence was not conclusive, and further research was needed to confirm these results and establish clear guidelines for selenium use in clinical practice.
