Research has shown selenium supports the immune system's response to viral infections. When children with influenza strain H1N1 were compared to uninfected children, researchers found lower levels of selenium in the blood and lower levels of the antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and lower levels of glutathione.
Overall, the evidence indicates that there is a role for selenium in proper immune function.
