The body depends on a regular supply of nutrients. Lack of vitamins and beneficial micronutrients leads to the gradual depletion of organs, complete loss of functionality and the development of pathologies. An unbalanced diet is one of the causes of erectile dysfunction.
Affects potential
Men's strength is affected by the lack of the following vitamins and minerals:
- A is the common name for several organic substances. Increases the secretion of sex hormones and the permeability of the seminal vesicles. A man should take 1 milligram of this substance every day.
- B1 or thiamine stimulates the cardiovascular and nervous systems, which also affects erections. The daily requirement of thiamine for an adult man varies from 1, 3 to 2, 6 milligrams.
- B2, or riboflavin, determines the function of the endocrine system, which affects libido. A man should consume 2 milligrams of the substance every day.
- B6 - it combines a group of biologically active substances under a common name. These compounds are responsible for testosterone secretion, testicular and prostate function. The daily requirement depends on age: 2 milligrams after 19 years, 2, 2 milligrams after 60 years.
- B12 or cobalamins are biologically active organic compounds of cobalt. Adequate concentration of the substance (2, 4 milligrams per day) increases sexual desire.
- C or ascorbic acid stimulates blood circulation and testosterone synthesis. A man should consume 90 milligrams of this organic compound every day.
- D: Normal consumption of the substance (600 micrograms per day, after 70 years - 800 micrograms) reduces the risk of developing prostate neoplasms, increases libido, sperm and sperm production.
- E - group of tocopherol derivatives. Improves blood circulation, participates in the secretion of sex hormones, increases libido and sperm quality. The daily requirement is 10 milligrams.
- Zinc is one of the components of testosterone, and its deficiency increases the risk of developing or exacerbating prostatitis. The male body's need for this metal is 15 milligrams per day.
- Selenium is essential for the secretion of sperm and testosterone. It should enter the body up to 7 micrograms per day.
How to fill the gap?
A man can get trace elements and vitamins from food for potency by including a certain amount of food or special preparations in the diet. However, the best results can be obtained by combining both methods, which can be explained by several conditions:
- So far, it has not been possible to develop a complex drug that can be a complete substitute for food. In addition to vitamins and minerals, food contains many other substances and nutrients that the body needs.
- Some organic compounds in food are present in small amounts. It is almost impossible to eat enough to meet the daily requirement of such vitamins.
- Some vitamins are poorly absorbed by the human body in natural products.
- To accurately determine the concentration of a particular substance in a product, you must make sure that all industrial and agricultural technologies are strictly adhered to. Fruits and vegetables that find a way to keep on the shelf often look attractive, but are also weak in terms of vitamins and trace elements.
- Eating enough to meet the daily requirement of a substance can ensure that other vitamins are in excess.
Erection problems are caused not only by a lack of trace elements and vitamins, but also a number of other pathologies and psychological diseases. In addition, the cause may be too much work - in this case, after a good rest, an improvement in the work of the reproductive system can be observed. In this regard, every man suffering from impotence should be examined by a specialist.
It is important to remember that hypervitaminosis is less dangerous than malnutrition. Increased content of some compounds can lead to dangerous pathologies.
If the test results show that the cause of erectile dysfunction in men is due to vitamin deficiency:
- Recommendations for daily nutrition - the diet consists of seafood, beef liver, nuts, fresh herbs, vegetables, berries and fruits.
- Appropriate vitamin and mineral complex is prescribed. In addition to the name of the drug, the doctor must tell you the exact dose. As the condition of the reproductive system improves and the vitamin-mineral balance is restored, daily vitamin intake decreases or becomes a drug with a lower concentration of the active substance.
Improvement in erection is usually observed a few weeks after starting treatment.
