Vitamins for men

Vitamins for men are organic substances that support the strength and vitality of the strong half of humanity. The modern rhythm of life, poor nutrition, frequent stress and poor ecology lead to a lack of nutrients in the body. As a result, after 35 years, a man begins to sharply lose shape, immunity weakens, and potency decreases.

To regain strength, it is recommended to pay attention to vitamin-mineral complexes and a diet in which healthy foods should dominate (vegetables, fruits, herbs, grains, dairy products).

Features of choosing dietary supplements for men

In order for men and women to feel healthy and full of vitality, they need the same vitamins, just in different proportions. Due to the strong muscles, large body constitution and intense physical activity, the male body needs more nutrients than the female body.

Theoretically, you can get the necessary vitamins, micro and macro elements through food. However, in this case, you need to eat more than two and a half kilograms of meat (B1, PP, B6), sea fish (D, iodine), freshly picked apples (C), black currants (C) and red pepper (C), a kilogram of cottage cheese every day(calcium), drink half a kilogram of fresh lettuce leaves (B9, carotene) and two liters of milk (B2, B12), which is unrealistic.

Fried, fatty foods, preservatives, flavor enhancers, ketchups, mayonnaise - these are familiar foods for modern people. And regular snacking in a hurry, stress and overwork completely endangers a man's health. Vitamin and mineral complexes help to compensate for nutrient deficiencies.

Consider lifestyle and age

The male body's need for vitamins and minerals increases during heavy physical work, active sports and after the age of 40. It is very difficult to maintain health and well-being through a healthy diet alone.

More testosterone

According to experts, the hormone is produced in the male body under the influence of selenium and vitamin E; improves reproductive function, prevents prostate diseases, improves sperm quality and promotes the conception of healthy offspring. To activate testosterone production, it is worth purchasing drugs that contain a daily dose of selenium and vitamin E.

Before purchasing a vitamin-mineral complex, it is important to pay attention to the expiration date of the product. Purchasing expired dietary supplements is prohibited. The packaging must be intact and without visible damage. In addition, to avoid buying a fake, make sure the instructions indicate the country of origin, the official importer (if any) and contact numbers.

The need for vitamins increases with:

• intensive training (especially during the period of muscle building);
• perform heavy physical labor;
• reduced potency;
• pregnancy planning;
• Reaching age 40 or older;
• baldness;
• weakened immunity;
• hypo and vitamin deficiency;
• Diseases of the digestive tract in which the absorption of nutrients in the stomach/intestines is disturbed;
• Stress;
• increased mental work;
• insufficient sunlight;
• burns, injuries;
• infectious, purulent-inflammatory diseases;
• after operations;
• monotonous, unbalanced diet;
• alcohol abuse;
• Smoke;
• chronic fatigue.

In these cases, the human body is under stress and, in order to maintain vitality, begins to quickly break down all nutrients. If he lacks one or another element to replenish his forces, a man's health deteriorates, his performance decreases, his sleep is disturbed, his resistance to harmful environmental influences (infection, poisoning, heat, cold) decreases and itThere is an imbalance in hormonal activity and internal secretion function. With a significant deficiency, diseases develop: scurvy, rickets and osteoporosis, pellagra, beriberi.

Vitamins for potency

Every man wants to do the best for his woman, including in the intimate area. However, the genitals do not always obey desire, which is due to reduced potency. Men face this problem at different ages: young, mature, older.

The reasons for reduced potency depend on the type of sexual dysfunction. A temporary disorder is usually caused by severe alcohol intoxication, stress, depression, nervous tension, overwork and lack of sleep. Constantly reduced potency is a consequence of a sedentary lifestyle, inflammatory diseases of the genital area (prostatitis, urethritis), unbalanced nutrition, and the consumption of narcotics and tobacco.

To restore an erection, a complex effect on the body is required: medications, consultation with a psychologist, a correct daily routine (work rest), massage, exercises.

Remember that the key to a man's sexual health is an active lifestyle and proper nutrition.

Vitamins and minerals to increase potency:

1. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Improves the permeability of blood vessels and makes them more elastic. This is important to fill the tissues of the penis with blood. In addition, vitamin C prevents the formation of carcinogens that cause prostate diseases, improves hormone production and is involved in hematopoiesis.
2. Cholecalciferol (D). Stimulates the production of testosterone, which increases potency and desire.
3. Tocopherol (E). Participates in sperm formation, increases libido. Lack of tocopherol in a man's body leads to muscle weakness, indifference to sex, reduces the number of red blood cells and provokes the accumulation of fat.
4. B vitamins. Increase testosterone synthesis, restore energy metabolism, protect the liver, improve the function of the heart and nervous system.
5. Zinc. This is the building material for testosterone. Without this microelement, the sex hormone molecule is not formed. As a result, there is dependence - there is no zinc, testosterone is not produced, there is no potency and sexual desire. The microelement improves sperm motility, prevents the development of prostatitis and increases the possibility of conception.
6. Selenium. Improves sperm quality, which is especially important for men treating infertility. Selenium regulates the function of the sexual organs and is involved in testosterone synthesis.

You can get a dose of vitamins, micro and macro elements to improve potency in two ways: with food or vitamin complexes, dietary supplements.

In the first case, include the following in your daily diet:

• tomatoes, corn, seafood, rye bread (selenium);
• herring, shrimp, nuts, salmon, perch, trout, garlic, egg yolk (zinc);
• Chicken eggs, cheese, milk, cottage cheese, fish oil (vitamin D);
• green onions, vegetable oil, egg yolk (vitamin E);
• citrus fruits, parsley, carrots, cabbage (vitamin C);
• Carrots, nuts, fish, cheese, cottage cheese (vitamins B).

In the second case, especially in winter, when natural vitamins and minerals from food are not enough, pay attention to multivitamin complexes for men. They contain the nutrients necessary for the stronger half of humanity, which increase sexual desire, increase potency, improve gamete mobility and sperm quality, and slow down the aging process.

Vitamins when planning pregnancy

Not only the mother but both parents need to take care of the baby's health before conception. Planning a pregnancy is a responsible task that not everyone thinks about. The man is responsible for the X chromosome, which determines the gender of the unborn child.

The child's health depends 50% on the father's physical condition

Doctors recommend starting preparations for conception at least six months before the expected date. During this period, both spouses need to undergo a medical examination, give up bad habits and normalize their diet. If you notice any health problems, be sure to seek treatment.

At the stage of planning pregnancy, expectant parents should take vitamins so as not to deprive the child's body of nutrients.

Why should a man drink nutrients?

Many spouses mistakenly believe that during the preparation period only the woman should take care of her health, since she will give birth to the baby. However, this is not the case. Due to sexual dysfunction in men, conception often does not occur. In addition, health problems are transmitted from father to baby.

The doctor determines which vitamins and in what dosage a man should take when planning a pregnancy.

What you should pay attention to:

1. Vitamin B9. Saturates the blood with oxygen, participates in the development of the baby's nervous system and reduces the number of defective sperm with the wrong set of chromosomes.
2. Vitamin A. Affects the formation of bones, eyes, lungs, heart and kidneys in the embryonic stage.
3. Vitamin C. Promotes iron absorption, ensures stable genetic information.
4. Vitamin F (Omega 3, 6, 9). Facilitates the process of conception and is needed for the maturation of healthy sperm.
5. Vitamin E. Fights radicals formed in the male body and has a protective effect on the cells.

In addition, for complete formation, increasing the quantity, improving the motility of gametes and improving the quality of sperm, which promotes conception, it is recommended to take vitamin complexes with zinc and selenium.

Now you know what vitamins, macro- and microelements men need to pay attention to in order to conceive and give birth to a healthy baby. Remember that the development and well-being of the unborn child depends on the spouses.

Vitamin therapy for women and men is a mandatory procedure for saturating the body with all the useful vitamins and minerals necessary for the full development of the fetus and the birth of a strong, healthy child.

Vitamins for mature men

After crossing the "40" mark, mental activity, physical activity, well-being and energy of the representatives of the stronger half of humanity completely depend on how responsible and attentive they treat their own health. In youth, the body needs a basic complexVitamins, the most important of which are A, B, E. These nutrients are responsible for the production of testosterone, the formation of healthy sperm and the full absorption of proteins.

Therefore, until the age of 40, the male body is designed to maintain the health of the reproductive system. With increasing age, the quality of absorption of necessary substances decreases, a predisposition to the manifestation of chronic diseases develops, and visual acuity decreases.

To counteract age-related changes, the basis of any vitamin and mineral complex for men should be:

• A – Retinol, beta-carotene (1 milligram);
• C – ascorbic acid (100 milligrams);
• E – Tocopherol (10 milligrams);
• H – Biotin (0. 12 milligrams);
• D – ergocalciferol, cholecalciferol (0. 015 milligrams);
• B1 – Thiamine (4 milligrams);
• B2 – riboflavin (3. 5 milligrams);
• B6 – pyridoxine (2. 5 milligrams);
• B9 – folic acid (0. 45 milligrams);
• B12 – cyanocobalamin (0. 025 milligrams).

A sufficient amount of these vitamins in the body reduces the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis and supports male strength, immune function and vision.

People who abuse nicotine and want to reduce body fat and gain muscle mass should additionally consume foods or supplements containing lipoic acid (vitamin N). Natural sources of nutrients: milk, rice, cabbage, beef and liver. The daily requirement for men who lead a moderate lifestyle is 30 milligrams of lipoic acid. For athletes over 40 years of age who do endurance sports, the consumption amount should be increased to 150-450 milligrams depending on the training intensity.

In adulthood, smoking has a particularly aggressive effect on the liver, and lipoic acid begins to protect the organ, protecting it from the development of hepatosis and cirrhosis.

After 50 years, the risk of developing heart disease and prostate adenoma increases, enzyme systems wear out, immunity weakens, hair begins to turn gray and fall out, bald spots form, bones become brittle and the number of fractures increases.

To maintain a man's health, it is recommended to consume the freshest and most environmentally friendly foods and vegetables possible every day. Avoid fried and smoked foods, ketchups, mayonnaise, store-bought juices, confectionery and canned foods. Prepare dishes correctly and in the "gentle" mode: boil, bake in the oven.

After 50 years, the microflora in the intestine partially loses its function, so at this age it is recommended to use a complex with live probiotic cultures. They populate the gastrointestinal tract with beneficial bacteria, which improves the absorption of vitamins and increases the tone of the body.

The choice of nutrients depends on which internal organs and systems are affected. Based on the medical history, the doctor selects a drug complex that specifically combines vitamins and general tonics.

Vitamins for older men

Aging of the body is a natural process that cannot be avoided. However, with proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, it can be slowed down.

Bad habits (smoking, excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages, taking drugs) accelerate age-related changes in the body. Therefore they should be abandoned.

After 60 years, metabolic processes slow down in men, testosterone levels decrease, which leads to osteoporosis, prostate and heart disease.

Age-related changes in an aging body:

1. The need for carbohydrates (from 340 grams to 290 grams) and proteins decreases due to a slowdown in the process of self-renewal of organic substances. The daily intake of "building" products (meat, fish, nuts) is calculated according to the ratio: one gram of protein per kilogram of body weight.
2. The bone tissue becomes weaker and brittle. The reason for this phenomenon is an increase in the amount of inorganic substances in the bones. The weight-bearing joints (ankle, knee, hip) wear out, the amount of intra-articular fluid decreases, and the ligaments become less elastic. If you do not additionally consume foods or supplements containing calcium during this period, the likelihood of fractures increases by 2 to 5 times, osteoporosis and spondylosis occur.
3. The absorption of vitamins and minerals worsens. To stimulate the regulation of oxidation processes, the need for ascorbic acid, pantothenic acid, rutin, beta-carotene, tocopherol, thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, cyanocobalamin increases.
4. The upper layers of skin become thinner, pigment spots form and the dermis becomes dry and wrinkled.
5. There is a redistribution of fatty tissue (the chest and the lower part of the face sag, the abdomen increases) and muscle tone decreases.
6. Visual acuity decreases, age-related farsightedness appears, the following changes are possible: increased intraocular pressure, development of lens opacity.
7. The sense organs suffer: the senses of taste, smell and hearing become weaker, tinnitus occurs.
8. The level of neurotransmitters and nerve cells decreases, which leads to an unstable psycho-emotional background; the likelihood of developing depression increases.
9. Reproductive function declines. In the period from 50 to 55 years, an enlargement of the prostate is observed in men, from 55 to 65 years the potency decreases physiologically. Age-related changes are accompanied by an increase in body weight and a weakening of muscle strength. This period is called "male menopause. "
10. Thyroid activity decreases. This causes cholesterol levels to rise, basal metabolism to fall and physical and psychological weakness to occur.
11. The susceptibility to infectious diseases increases, there is a tendency to diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerosis, tumor processes and a senile loss of intelligence.
12. The function of the stomach and pancreas deteriorates, intestinal motility slows down, which leads to constipation.
13. The tone of the sphincter and pelvic muscles (urinary incontinence) and the contractility of the bladder decrease. In older men, a prostate adenoma often forms in the urinary tract area.

After 60 years, iron deficiency anemia progresses in the strong half of humanity, which is particularly acute in diseases of the digestive tract, as the absorption of iron from food decreases.

Which vitamins do older men need?

To prolong youth and slow down destructive changes in the body, the diet should always include foods containing the following nutrients:

• Tocopherol (E) – a vitamin for young and old men;
• Beta-carotene (A) – prevents the development of eye diseases;
• Ascorbic acid or organic vitamin C – strengthens the immune system;
• Rutin (R) – normalizes the condition of the capillary walls, stimulates the activity of the adrenal cortex;
• Cholecalciferol (D) – strengthens bone and tooth tissue;
• B vitamins – regulate the stability of body function, neutralize the consequences of psycho-emotional stress;
• Iodine – nourishes the thyroid;
• Potassium, calcium, magnesium – support the function of the nervous and cardiovascular systems;
• Iron – necessary for normal hemoglobin levels in the blood;
• Chromium – prevents the formation of cholesterol plaques;
• Copper – has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects.

For prevention, to compensate for the lack of nutrients, it is recommended to undergo vitamin therapy twice a year. It is best to take medication in spring and winter, when the body is weakened and feels an increased need for nutrients.
