                                Trace element interactions are complex, and evidence shows selenium has powerful antagonistic relationships with several heavy metals and other elements. An antagonist of selenium is a substance that counteracts its beneficial effects, often by interfering with its absorption, metabolism, or functional activity in the body. Understanding these antagonistic relationships is critical for managing both deficiency and toxicity risks.
