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.
世界上许多地区包括波兰都存在硒缺乏的情况。它会导致人体功能失调和疾病，其中克山病最为人所知。具有生物活性的硒通常以硒代半胱氨酸的形式掺入蛋白质中，这在营养补充中最为有用。补充硒很重要，因为当这种元素缺乏时，许多病毒的致病性会更强。
