Problems with the reproductive system in men are usually the result of more serious health problems. The root cause of weak erectile function may be diabetes, atherosclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and so on. Obesity, alcoholism, smoking and other bad habits can also affect this problem. Vitamins for erectile function, of course, will give their results, but if you do not approach the problem comprehensively, you will not be able to solve it forever.
But still, let's look at what substances have a beneficial effect on erection.
It should be noted that a lack of vitamins and minerals in the body can also lead to the development of this problem. This is especially true for those whose diet is not balanced.
How and what vitamins affect potency
To understand what measures to take to solve the problem, you need to know how vitamin complexes affect the body:
- have a general strengthening and stabilizing effect. Thanks to them, many body systems work correctly and confidently, this also applies to erectile function;
- Certain vitamins are designed to regulate blood circulation in the body. If this process is established, then blood circulation in the pelvic organs is also stabilized;
- It is worth highlighting separately the vitamins that are directly involved in the creation of sex-type hormones, which in turn are responsible for sexual desire and potency.
Zinc
Special attention should be paid to mineral elements. The first most important microelement in male sexual function is zinc. In medicine, there are many cases where its deficiency causes a decline in potency. Therefore, if a deficiency of it in the blood is detected, it is worth taking care of replenishing what was lost. Even if you have a normal amount of it, it is important to monitor the amount of daily consumption, which will help regulate erectile function. You can get the microelement both with drugs and with simple products. Large amounts of it are found in liver, pine nuts, lamb, pork, peanuts, beans, buckwheat, oatmeal, water, and so on.
Selenium + vitamins C and E
Next in importance is selenium, most of which in the body is concentrated in the testicles. This is a direct indication of how important the trace element is for the reproductive system. This microelement reveals its potential to the maximum in combination with vitamins C and E. In the complex, the substances cope with toxins and remove free radicals. It follows from this that the effect of a microelement can only be achieved with a sufficient amount of vitamins. You can compensate for the lack of selenium through foods such as almonds, liver, lentils, wheat, barley, rice, water, and so on. Vitamin E can be obtained from spinach, oatmeal, prunes, salmon, sorrel and other foods.
An insufficient amount of selenium in a man’s body several times increases the likelihood of the appearance of malignant cancer cells.
B vitamins
Next in importance and necessity, it is worth highlighting the representatives of the B vitamin group. Their importance for the body as a whole is undeniable, but few people know that these substances are actively involved in the production of testosterone and regulate the activity of the nervous system. But it is the latter that is responsible for sexual attraction in the form of impulses to the brain. In foods, vitamins are found in crabs, sour cream, carp, pork, lamb, beef, mackerel and so on.
Vitamin C
The same applies to vitamin C. Ascorbic acid is undeniably important for the body of any person. However, its deficiency, in addition to weakened immunity, can cause the accumulation of the stress hormone cortisol and a decrease in the amount of male hormones. The natural content of the vitamin is found in all plant components, even with slight sourness. The largest amount of vitamin C is found in rose hips, red bell peppers, black currants, sea buckthorn, lemon, sauerkraut, and kiwi.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D plays a vital role in the body, as it allows calcium, phosphorus and magnesium to be properly absorbed within the body. Regarding sexual function, this element is the activator of the action of testosterone. Moreover, in this situation, the hormone performs not only its main functions, but also acts as an assistant in the construction of bone tissue along with calcium. As you know, vitamin D is actively produced during constant exposure to the sun and air. It is also found in products such as sea bass, sour cream, liver, butter, and eggs.
Omega fatty acids
Particular attention should be paid to the consumption of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. In addition to a strong preventive effect on the cardiovascular system, the substances cope well with excess cholesterol, improve blood circulation, and normalize blood pressure.
But besides this, unsaturated fatty acids take an active part in the production of testosterone, so it is very important to adhere to a diet in which the daily dose of these components is not lower than 0. 5 grams per day. It is important to understand that these substances are irreplaceable and are not synthesized by our body; they must be obtained from the outside. A large amount of fatty acids of this type are found in fish oil, flax seeds, mackerel, tuna, trout, oat sprouts, hemp seeds and so on.
Pros and cons of synthetic vitamins
For obvious reasons, many people have questions about the effectiveness of pharmacy vitamin complexes. Their main advantage is ease of use, because you only need one capsule, and the daily norm and requirement for substances is obtained. There is no need to select products and prepare them. However, at the same time, such capsules are much more complex and less easily absorbed by the body, which means they are less effective.
Many experts are of the opinion that it is better to give preference to a proper balanced diet, and in rare cases, supplement with vitamin complexes from the pharmacy. It is proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle that will give the body the maximum amount of necessary elements.
