The body depends on a regular supply of nutrients. Lack of vitamins and useful trace elements leads to gradual depletion of organs to complete loss of function and development of pathologies. An unbalanced diet is one of the causes of erectile dysfunction.
Affects potency
Male potency is affected by a deficiency of the following vitamins and minerals:
- A is a common name for several organic substances. Provides sex hormone secretion and increases the conduction of seminal ducts. A man should receive 1 milligram of this substance every day.
- B1 or thiamine stimulates the cardiovascular and nervous systems, which also affects erections. For an adult man, the daily need for thiamine varies from 1, 3 to 2, 6 milligrams.
- B2 or riboflavin determines the work of the endocrine system, which affects libido. A man should consume 2 milligrams of the substance every day.
- Group B6 - biologically active substances is combined with this generic name. The compounds are responsible for testosterone secretion, testicular and prostate function. The need for a day depends on age: after 19 years it is 2 milligrams, after 60 years - 2, 2 milligrams.
- B12 or cobalamines are biologically active organic compounds of cobalt. Adequate concentration of the substance (2, 4 milligrams per day) provides increased libido.
- 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 prostate neoplasms, provides increased libido, sperm and sperm production.
- Group of E - 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 a component of testosterone, and its deficiency increases the risk of developing or exacerbating prostatitis. A man's body needs this metal at 15 milligrams a day.
- Selenium is essential for sperm and testosterone secretion. Up to 7 micrograms should enter the body each day.
How to fill the deficit?
A man can get trace elements and vitamins for potency from food by introducing larger amounts of certain foods into the diet or from special preparations. However, the best results can be obtained by combining the two methods, which is explained by several conditions:
- Until now, it has not been possible to develop a complex drug that could serve as a complete food substitute. In addition to vitamins and minerals, food contains many other substances and nutrients necessary for the body.
- Some organic compounds are present in small amounts in food. It is almost impossible to eat enough food to meet the daily need for such vitamins.
- Some vitamins are found in natural products in such a way that they are 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 adhered to. Fruits and vegetables that find their way on store shelves often look attractive, but at the same time they lack vitamins and trace elements.
- Eating enough food to meet your daily need for one substance can provide an excess of another vitamin.
Erection problems are caused not only by a lack of trace elements and vitamins, but also by several other pathologies and psychological disorders. It can also be caused by hard excessive work - in this case, after a good rest, you can notice improvements in the work of the reproductive system. In this regard, every man who suffers from sexual weakness should be examined by a specialist.
It must be remembered that hypervitaminosis is no less dangerous than malnutrition. Increased levels of some compounds can cause dangerous pathologies.
If the test results show that the cause of male erectile dysfunction is a vitamin deficiency:
- Recommendations for daily diet are provided - the diet is created by increasing seafood, beef liver, nuts, fresh herbs, vegetables, berries and fruits.
- An appropriate complex of vitamins and minerals is determined. In addition to the name of the medicine, your doctor must tell you the exact dose. As the reproductive system improves and the balance of vitamins and minerals is restored, the daily dose of vitamins is reduced or switched to medicines with lower concentrations of active substances.
Improvement in erection is usually seen within a few weeks of starting treatment.
