The body depends on a regular supply of nutrients. The lack of vitamins and beneficial microelements leads to a complete loss of functionality and the gradual depletion of organs, up to the development of pathologies. An unbalanced diet is one of the causes of erectile dysfunction.
power of influence
Male potency is affected by the deficiency of the following vitamins and minerals:
- A is the common name of several organic substances. It stimulates the secretion of sex hormones and increases the conductivity of the seminal ducts. A man should take 1 milligram of this substance each day.
- B1 or thiamine stimulates the activity of the cardiovascular and nervous system, which also affects the erection. The daily need for thiamine for an adult male ranges from 1. 3 to 2. 6 milligrams.
- B2 or riboflavin determines the work of the endocrine system, which affects the libido. Every day a man should consume 2 milligrams of the substance.
- B6 - under this general name a group of biologically active substances is combined. The compounds are responsible for testosterone secretion, testicular and prostate function. The daily requirement depends on age: 2 milligrams after 19 years, after 60 - 2. 2 milligrams.
- B12 or cobalamins are biologically active organic compounds of cobalt. A sufficient concentration of the substance (2. 4 milligrams per day) provides increased 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 - 800 micrograms per day after 70 years) reduces the risk of developing prostate neoplasms, increases libido, semen and sperm production.
- E - a group of tocopherol derivatives. It improves blood circulation, participates in the secretion of sex hormones, improves libido and sperm quality. The daily requirement is 10 milligrams.
- Zinc is one of the components of testosterone, in addition, with its deficiency, the risk of developing or exacerbating prostatitis increases. The male body's need for this metal is 15 milligrams per day.
- Selenium is necessary for the secretion of semen and testosterone. Up to 7 micrograms per day should enter the body.
How to fill in the missing?
A man can get trace elements and vitamins for effect from food, introducing an increased amount of certain foods or special preparations into the diet. However, the best results can be achieved by combining both methods, which are described by several conditions:
- Until now, it has not been possible to develop a complex drug that can serve as a full-fledged substitute for food. In addition to vitamins and minerals, food contains many other substances and nutrients that the body needs.
- Some organic compounds in foods are present in negligible amounts. It is almost impossible to eat enough to meet the daily requirement of such vitamins.
- Some vitamins are contained in natural products in a form that is poorly absorbed by the human body.
- To accurately determine the concentration of a particular substance in a product, you need to make sure that all industrial and agricultural technologies are strictly observed. Fruits and vegetables that find a way to store shelves often look attractive, but are also poor in vitamins and microelements.
- Eating enough to meet the daily requirement of one substance can provide more of the other vitamins.
Erection problems are caused not only by a lack of trace elements and vitamins, but also by a number of other pathologies and psychological disorders. Also, the cause may be overwork - in this case, improvements in the work of the reproductive system can be noticed after a good rest. In this regard, every man suffering from sexual weakness should be examined by a qualified specialist.
It should be noted that hypervitaminosis is no less dangerous than nutritional deficiencies. The increased content of some compounds can lead to dangerous pathologies.
If test results show that the cause of a man's erectile dysfunction lies in a vitamin deficiency:
- Daily nutritional recommendations are given - the diet is made with an increased amount of seafood, beef liver, nuts, fresh herbs, vegetables, fruits and berries.
- A suitable complex of vitamins and minerals is prescribed. In addition to the name of the drug, the doctor should tell you the exact dosage. As the reproductive system improves and the vitamin and mineral balance is restored, the daily intake of vitamins is reduced or switched to a drug containing a lower concentration of active substance.
An improvement in erection is usually observed a few weeks after starting treatment.
