The body depends on a regular supply of nutrients. Lack of useful vitamins and trace elements leads to a gradual depletion of organs to a complete loss of functionality and the development of pathologies. An unbalanced diet is one of the causes of erectile dysfunction.
Affecting power
Male potency is affected by a lack of the following vitamins and minerals:
- Is a common name for some organic substances. Provides secretion of sex hormones and increases the conduction of seminal ducts. A man should take 1 milligram of this substance every day.
- B1, or thiamine, stimulates the activity of the cardiovascular and nervous system, which also affects erection. For an adult male, the daily requirement for thiamine varies from 1. 3 to 2. 6 milligrams.
- B2, or riboflavin, determines the work of the endocrine system, which affects libido. Every day a man should consume 2 milligrams of the substance.
- B6 - a group of biologically active substances is united under this general name. The 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 cobalaminates, are biologically active organic compounds of cobalt. A sufficient concentration of the substance (2. 4 milligrams per day) ensures increased sexual desire.
- C, or ascorbic acid stimulates blood circulation and testosterone synthesis. A man should consume 90 milligrams of this organic ingredient every day.
- D: normal consumption of the substance (600 micrograms per day, after 70 years - 800 micrograms) reduces the risk of developing prostate neoplasms, provides increased libido, sperm 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 absence, the risk of developing or worsening prostatitis increases. The need of the male body for this metal is 15 milligrams per day.
- Selenium is essential for the secretion of sperm and testosterone. Up to 7 micrograms of it should enter the body every day.
How to fill the deficit?
A man can get trace elements and vitamins for strength from food by introducing an increased amount of certain foods or from special preparations in the diet. However, the best results can be obtained by combining both methods, which is explained by several circumstances:
- So far, it has not been possible to develop a complex medicine that can serve as a complete food substitute. In addition to vitamins and minerals, food contains many other substances and nutrients that the body needs.
- Some organic compounds in food are contained in negligible amounts. Almost it is almost impossible to eat enough food to meet the daily requirements for such vitamins.
- Some vitamins are found 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 must be sure that all industrial and agricultural technologies are strictly adhered to. Fruits and vegetables that find their way to store shelves often look attractive, but at the same time are poor in vitamins and trace elements.
- Adequate nutrition to meet the daily requirements for a substance can provide an excess of 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 reason may lie in severe congestion - in this case, improvements in the work of the reproductive system can be noticed after a good rest. In this regard, any man suffering from sexual weakness should be examined by a specialized specialist.
It should be remembered that hypervitaminosis is no less dangerous than nutritional deficiencies. The added content of some compounds can lead to dangerous pathologies.
If the test results show that the cause of a man's erectile dysfunction lies in a vitamin deficiency:
- Recommendations are given for the daily diet - the diet is built with an added amount of seafood, beef liver, nuts, fresh herbs, vegetables, berries and fruits.
- Complex is described a suitable complex of vitamins and minerals. In addition to the name of the medicine, the doctor should tell you the exact dose. As the condition of the reproductive system improves and the balance of vitamins and minerals is restored, the daily intake of vitamins is reduced or switched to a medicine with a lower concentration of active substances.
An improvement in erection is usually noticed within a few weeks after starting treatment.
