The body depends on the regular supply of nutrients. Lack of vitamins and useful microelements leads to a gradual depletion of organs up to a complete loss of functionality and development of pathologies. An unbalanced diet is one of the causes of erectile dysfunction.
Influential strength
Male strength is affected by the lack of the following vitamins and minerals:
- A is a common name for several organic substances. Provides secretion of sex hormones and increased conductivity in the sperm ducts. A man should receive 1 milligram of this drug 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 of 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 ingest 2 milligrams of the drug.
- B6 - a group of biologically active substances is united under this general name. The compounds are responsible for testosterone secretion, testicular and prostate function. The daily requirement depends on age: after 19 years it is 2 milligrams, after 60 years - 2, 2 milligrams.
- B12 or cobalamins are biologically active organic compounds of cobalt. Adequate concentration of the drug (2, 4 milligrams a 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 drug (600 micrograms per day, after 70 years - 800 micrograms) reduces the risk of developing prostate neoplasms, increases 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, and with its deficiency, the risk of developing or worsening prostatitis increases. The male body needs this metal is 15 milligrams a day.
- Selenium is essential for the secretion of semen and testosterone. Up to 7 micrograms of it should enter the body daily.
How is the deficit filled in?
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. Nevertheless, the best results can be obtained by combining both methods, which is explained by several circumstances:
- 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.
- Certain organic compounds in foods are contained in negligible amounts. It is almost impossible to eat enough food to meet the daily need 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 need to make sure that all industrial and agricultural technologies are strictly adhered to. Fruits and vegetables that find their way into shelf storage often look attractive, but at the same time are poor in vitamins and trace elements.
- Eating enough food to meet the daily needs of a drug 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. The reason may also lie in heavy overtime - 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 must be remembered that hypervitaminosis is no less dangerous than nutritional deficiencies. The increased 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 daily nutrition - the diet is built with an increased amount of seafood, beef liver, nuts, fresh herbs, vegetables, berries and fruits.
- An appropriate vitamin and mineral complex is prescribed. In addition to the name of the medicine, your doctor will tell you the exact dose. As the condition of the reproductive system improves and the vitamin and mineral balance is restored, the daily intake of vitamins is reduced or switched to a drug with a lower concentration of active substances.
An improvement in erection is usually observed within a few weeks after the start of treatment.
