The body depends on the regular supply of nutrients. A lack of vitamins and useful microelements leads to a progressive exhaustion of the organs up to a complete loss of functionality and the development of pathologies. An unbalanced diet is one of the causes of erectile dysfunction.
Affect the power
Male potency is affected by the lack of the following vitamins and minerals:
- A is a common name for several organic substances. Provides the secretion of sex hormones and increased conductivity of the seminal ducts. A man should receive 1 milligram of this substance every day.
- B1, or thiamine, stimulates the activity of the cardiovascular and nervous systems, which also affects erections. For an adult male, the daily requirement of thiamine ranges 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.
- B6 - a group of biologically active substances is combined under this general name. The compounds are responsible for testosterone secretion, testicular and prostate function. The daily requirement depends on age: after the age of 19 it is 2 milligrams, after the age of 60 - 2, 2 milligrams.
- B12, or cobalamines, are biologically active organic compounds of cobalt. A sufficient concentration of the substance (2. 4 milligrams per day) provides an increase in 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 prostatic neoplasms, provides an increase in 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 deficiency, it increases the risk of developing or exacerbating prostatitis. The male body's requirement 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 potency from food, introducing an increased amount of certain foods or from special preparations into 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 drug 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 quantities. It is almost impossible to eat enough food to meet the daily requirement of these vitamins.
- Some vitamins are found in natural products in a poorly absorbed form by the human body.
- To accurately determine the concentration of a particular substance in a product, it is necessary to ensure that all industrial and agricultural technologies are strictly adhered to. Fruits and vegetables found on store shelves often have an attractive appearance, but at the same time are low in vitamins and microelements.
- Eating enough food to meet the daily requirement 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 psychological pathologies and disorders. Also, the reason may lie in severe overwork: in this case, improvements in the work of the reproductive system can be noted 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 increase in the 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 for daily nutrition are given: the diet is built with an increased amount of seafood, beef liver, nuts, fresh herbs, greens, berries and fruits.
- An appropriate vitamin and mineral complex is prescribed. In addition to the name of the drug, the doctor must tell you the exact dosage. As the state of the reproductive system improves and the vitamin and mineral balance is restored, the daily intake of vitamins is reduced or transferred to a drug with a lower concentration of active substances.
An improvement in erection is usually observed within a few weeks of starting treatment.
