Sulfur and selenium have an important role in the biology of living systems. Sulfur amino acid and selenocysteine are incorporated in a large number of molecules, which act as essential components of major metabolic pathways. This chapter provides an overview of the nutrition biology, the dietary sources, the nutritional requirement, the effect of deficiency and excess, and the rationale behind the supplementation of sulfur and selenium for human health.
