The body is dependent on regular nutrition of nutrients. Lack of vitamins and useful substances leads to the gradual destruction of organs up to complete loss of function and development of disease. Dietary imbalances are one of the causes of erectile dysfunction.
Influencing strengths
The power of men affects the deficiency of the following vitamins and minerals:
- A is a common name for some organic matter. Provides secretion of sex hormones and increased conduction of sperm. One should get 1 milligram of this substance every day.
- B1, or thiamine, stimulates the activity of the cardiovascular system, which also affects erections. For an adult male, the daily requirement for thiamine is in the range of 1, 3 to 2, 6 milligrams.
- B2, or riboflavin, determines the function of the endocrine system, which affects libido. Every day you should consume 2 milligrams of the substance.
- B6 - a group of biologically active substances is combined under this general name. The compounds are responsible for the secretion of testosterone, testicles and prostate. Daily requirement depends on age: after 19 years it is 2 milligrams, after 60 years - 2, 2 milligrams.
- B12, or cobalamin, are the biologically active organic compounds of cobalt. Sufficient concentration of the substance (2, 4 milligrams per day) provides increased libido.
- C, or ascorbic acid stimulates blood circulation and testosterone production. One 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 prostate tumors, increases libido, semen and sperm production.
- E - group of tocopherol derivatives. Improves blood circulation, participates in the secretion of sex hormones, increases libido and sperm quality. Daily requirement is 10 milligrams.
- Zinc is one of the components of testosterone, and in addition, deficiency increases the risk of developing or worsening prostatitis. The male body needs for this metal is 15 milligrams per day.
- Selenium is essential for the secretion of semen and testosterone. Up to 7 micrograms of it should enter the body daily.
How to fill the deficit?
One can get trace elements and vitamins for activity from food, by introducing increased amounts of certain foods or from special preparations in the diet. Nevertheless, the best results can be achieved by combining the two methods, which can be explained by several factors:
- To date, it has not been possible to develop a complex drug that can serve as a valid substitute for food. In addition to vitamins and minerals, food contains many other substances and nutrients that the body needs.
- Some organic compounds in food are in negligible amounts. It is almost impossible to eat enough food to satisfy 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 determine the exact concentration of a particular substance in a product, you need to make sure that all industrial and agricultural techniques are strictly adhered to. Fruits and vegetables that find a way to store shelves often look attractive but are at the same time poor in vitamins and nutrients.
- Eating enough to meet the daily requirement of one substance can provide in excess of other vitamins.
Erectile dysfunction is caused not only by a lack of trace elements and vitamins, but also by a number of other diseases and psychological disorders. The reason can also be serious overwork - in this case you can notice improvements in the reproductive system after a good rest. In this regard, every professional should examine every person who suffers from sexual weakness.
It should be borne in mind that vitamin deficiency is no less dangerous than malnutrition. Increased content of some compounds can lead to dangerous diseases.
If the test results show that the cause of erectile dysfunction in men is vitamin deficiency:
- Recommendations for daily nutrition are given - the diet is made up of increased amounts of seafood, beef liver, nuts, fresh herbs, vegetables, berries and fruits.
- The appropriate vitamin and mineral mixture is prescribed. In addition to the name of the medicine, your doctor will tell you the exact dose. As the condition of the reproductive organs improves and the balance of vitamins and minerals is restored, the daily intake of vitamins decreases or switches to drugs with lower concentrations of active substances.
An improvement in erection usually occurs within a few weeks after starting treatment.
