Vitamin E

No, but they should be in the system at roughly the same time...

The quantity can greatly depend on excercise the more excercise your dog gets the more Selenium and Vit E they need.

Is there any scientific data as to how much is actually used by dogs daily and how well its stored in fat , half life, ,etc

The bare minimum for selenium per day is 2.2mcg/kg but many are using double that and it seems that 6mcg will be closer to the RA.

Selenium and iodine also interact with each other.

If the soil that foods are grown in a low in selenium the foods will also be low. Selenium is one mineral that shouldn't be oversupplemented.

My dogs were eating dirt a few months ago, and although dirt eating can be a normal behaviour a veterinary nutritionist suggested that I up the selenium in the diets as I was feeding the 2.2mcg/kg. Might have been coincidence but the dirt eating stopped after about a month.

Here's a link to some info about selenium and brazil nuts
