The body depends on a regular supply of nutrients. Lack of vitamins and useful micro-elements leads to a gradual degeneration of organs to complete loss of function and the development of pathology. An unbalanced diet is one of the causes of erectile dysfunction.
Affect the potential
Male potency is affected by deficiencies of the following vitamins and minerals:
- A is a common name for some organic matter. Provides the secretion of sex hormones and increases the conductivity of the seminal vesicles. A man should receive 1 milligram of this substance daily.
- B1, or thiamine, stimulates the activity of the cardiovascular and nervous systems, which also affects erections. For adult males, the daily requirement for thiamine ranges from 1. 3 to 2. 6 milligrams.
- B2, or riboflavin, determines the work of the endocrine system, which affects libido. Every day a man must take 2 milligrams of the substance.
- B6 - a group of biologically active substances united by this general name. These compounds are responsible for testosterone secretion, testicular and prostate function. Daily requirement depends on age: after 19 years it is 2 milligrams, after 60 years - 2. 2 milligrams.
- B12, or cobalamin, is an active organic compound of cobalt. Adequate concentration of the substance (2. 4 milligrams a day) gives an increase in sexual desire.
- C, or ascorbic acid stimulates blood circulation and testosterone synthesis. A man should take 90 milligrams of this organic compound daily.
- D: normal consumption of the substance (600 micrograms a day, after 70 years - 800 micrograms) reduces the risk of prostate neoplasms, provides increased libido, semen and sperm production.
- E - a 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, moreover, with its deficiency, the risk of developing or worsening prostatitis increases. The male body’s requirement for this metal is 15 milligrams a day.
- Selenium is very important for the production of semen and testosterone. Up to 7 micrograms must enter the body daily.
How to fill the deficit?
A man can get trace elements and vitamins for potency from food, by introducing increasing amounts of certain foods or from special preparations into the food. Even so, the best results can be obtained by combining the two methods, which are explained by several conditions:
- So far, it has not been possible to develop a complex drug that can serve as a complete meal replacement. In addition to vitamins and minerals, food contains many other substances and nutrients needed by the body.
- Certain organic compounds in food are contained in negligible amounts. It is almost impossible to eat enough food to meet the daily requirement for such vitamins.
- A number of vitamins are found in natural products in a form that is poorly absorbed by the human body.
- To determine the concentration of a particular substance in a product accurately, you must ensure that all industrial and agricultural technologies are strictly adhered to. Fruits and vegetables that find a way to store shelves often look attractive, but at the same time lack vitamins and micronutrients.
- Eating enough food to meet the daily needs of one ingredient can provide an excess of other vitamins.
Erection problems are not only caused by a lack of trace elements and vitamins, but also by a number of pathologies and other psychological disorders. Also, the reason may be due to severe overwork - in this case, an increase in the work of the reproductive system can be seen after a good rest. Accordingly, every man who suffers from sexual weakness should be examined by a specialized specialist.
It should be noted that hypervitaminosis is no less dangerous than nutritional deficiencies. Increased content of some compounds can cause dangerous pathology.
If the test results show that the cause of male erectile dysfunction lies in vitamin deficiency:
- Recommendations for daily nutrition are given-the diet is made with increasing amounts of seafood, beef liver, nuts, fresh herbs, vegetables, berries and fruits.
- Appropriate vitamin and mineral complexes are prescribed. In addition to the name of the drug, the doctor must tell you the exact dose. When the condition of the reproductive system improves and the balance of vitamins and minerals is restored, daily vitamin intake is reduced or switched to medications with lower concentrations of active ingredients.
Increased erections are usually observed within a few weeks after starting treatment.
