This is a quote from a Linus Pauling website where they talk about selenium. I have been reading on how they give animals selenium supplements to help prevent nitrofurantoin toxicity. This quote seems to support that. Selenium can be dangerous if too much is taken - I had a metal taste in my mouth that I think came from taking too much selenium so I only took it once a week. Can it help people recover from nitrofurantoin toxicity?
"Supplemental sodium selenite has been found to decrease toxicity from the antibiotic nitrofurantoin and the herbicide paraquat in animals (45)."
Here is the website that it is from:
