Research is going on and no conclusive result is obtained so far One specific area of interest is selenium supplementation, which has been shown to increase the conversion of T4 to T3 while simultaneously reducing thyroid antibody levels responsible for the autoimmune attack. While initial work appears promising, the research is far from conclusive, and this approach needs considerably more study, according to write-ups of different studies in the European Journal of Endocrinology, the Journal of Endocrinology, Thyroid and the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. Still, these investigations are good news for those patients seeking different treatment options.
