Selenium deficiency occurs in many regions of the world including Poland. It leads to human body dysfunctions and diseases among which Keshan disease is the most known. Biologically active selenium is usually incorporated into proteins as selenocysteine, which is the most useful in nutritional supplementation. Selenium addition is important since many viruses are more pathogenic when deficiency of this element occurs.
