I thought it was selenomethionine which was the reduced form which
selenium becomes when in the body? So I would have thought the same
thing would apply. dee

Melly,
I have found nothing to substantiate that any type of selenium will
remove silver from the tissues. Studies do show that many forms of
selenium complex with silver and will cause silver to be deposited
in the tissues. The silver complexing with those same seleniums can
cause a selenium deficiency leading to liver damage.
Selenomethionine will not complex with silver and therefore not
cause silver deposition in the tissues. It also supports the liver
and critical functions in the liver that support silver removal but
it does not remove silver directly.
So I agree with all you have said except selenomethionine directly
removing silver from the tissues.
I hope this helps.
