The body depends on a regular supply of nutrients. Deficiency of vitamins and useful micronutrients leads to gradual depletion of organs until complete loss of function and the development of pathologies. An unbalanced diet is one of the causes of erectile dysfunction.
Affecting potential
Male potency is affected by a lack of the following vitamins and minerals:
- A is the common name for many organic substances. Provides the secretion of sex hormones and increases the permeability of the testicles. Men should take 1 milligram of this substance every day.
- B1, or thiamine, stimulates the activity of the cardiovascular and nervous systems, which also affects the erection. For adult men, the daily requirement of thiamine is 1. 3 to 2. 6 milligrams.
- B2, or riboflavin, determines the work of the endocrine system, which affects libido. Men should consume 2 milligrams of the substance daily.
- B6 - A group of biologically active substances united under this generic 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 cobalamins, are biologically active organic compounds in cobalt. Adequate concentration of the substance (2. 4 mg per day) increases sexual desire.
- C, or ascorbic acid stimulates blood circulation and testosterone synthesis. Men should consume 90 milligrams of this organic compound daily.
- 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 - tocopherol derivative group. 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, its deficiency increases the risk of developing or exacerbating prostatitis. The male body needs for this metal is 15 milligrams per day.
- Selenium is essential for sperm and testosterone secretion. Its 7 micrograms daily should enter the body.
How to fill the deficit?
A person can get trace elements and vitamins for potency from food by increasing the amount of certain foods or introducing special preparations into the diet. Nevertheless, the best results can be achieved with a combination of both methods, which can be explained by several circumstances:
- So far, it has become impossible to develop a complex drug that would be a complete substitute for food. In addition to vitamins and minerals, food contains many other nutrients and nutrients that the body needs.
- Certain organic compounds are placed in insignificant amounts in food. It is almost impossible to eat enough food to meet the daily requirement of such vitamins.
- Some vitamins are found in natural products in a form that is poorly absorbed by the human body.
- In order 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 to storage shelves often look attractive, but at the same time are poor in vitamins and micronutrients.
- Getting enough food to meet your daily requirement for one substance can provide you with excess amounts 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 be a severe overload - in this case, the improvement of the reproductive system is noticeable after a good rest. In this regard, all men with sexual weakness should be examined by a qualified specialist.
We must remember that hypervitaminosis is no less dangerous than nutritional deficiencies. Increased content of some compounds can lead to dangerous pathologies.
If the test results show that the cause of male erectile dysfunction lies in vitamin deficiency:
- Daily dietary recommendations are given - the diet is built on seafood, beef liver, nuts, fresh herbs, vegetables, berries and fruits.
- An appropriate vitamin-mineral complex is prescribed. In addition to the name of the drug, your doctor should tell you the exact dose. Improving the condition of the reproductive system and restoring the balance of vitamins and minerals The daily intake of vitamins is reduced or switched to the drug with a low concentration of active substances.
Improvement of erection is usually observed within a few weeks of starting treatment.
