    Glossary Selenium Deficiency

    insufficient selenium intake impairs antioxidant defense and thyroid function

    Selenium deficiency, also known as selenium insufficiency, occurs when the body does not get enough selenium, an essential trace mineral important for various bodily functions, including antioxidant defense and thyroid hormone metabolism. This deficiency can lead to health issues such as weakened immune function, cognitive decline, and in severe cases, conditions like Keshan disease (a type of heart disease) and Kashin-Beck disease (a type of osteoarthritis).
