Selenium (Se) is a vital trace element for children, playing crucial role in numerous physiological processes, including antioxidant defense, immune regulation, thyroid function, and bone metabolism. Emerging evidence highlights its potential impact on child development growth while also underscoring the complexity of mechanisms global variations Se intake. The aim this review to comprehensively elucidate significance various biological processes within human body, with focus growth; biochemical effects nervous system, tissue; implications deficiency toxicity. This integrates findings from experimental models, epidemiological studies, clinical trials explore Se's neurodevelopment, competence children. Selenoproteins, which regulate oxidative stress hormone metabolism, are essential normal cognitive toxicity has been linked impaired retardation, decreased function. underscore influence pathways that critical healthy broader importance health. Public health strategies aimed at optimizing selenium intake may play pivotal improving pediatric outcomes worldwide.
