Vitamin potency
- Ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Improves the permeability of blood vessels, making them more elastic. This is important to keep the penile tissue filled with blood. In addition, vitamin C can prevent the formation of carcinogens that cause prostate diseases, improve hormone production, and participate in hematopoiesis.
- Cholecalciferol (D). Stimulates testosterone production, thereby increasing potency and desire.
- Tocopherol (E). Participate in the formation of sperm and enhance sexual desire. A lack of tocopherol in men can lead to muscle weakness, frigidity, reduced red blood cell count, and fat accumulation.
- B vitamins. Increases testosterone synthesis, restores energy metabolism, protects the liver, and improves heart and nervous system function.
- zinc. This is the building material of testosterone. Without this trace element, sex hormone molecules would not be formed. As a result, there is dependence - without zinc, testosterone is not produced, there is no potency and no libido. Trace elements enhance sperm motility, prevent the development of prostatitis and increase the possibility of conception.
- selenium. Improves sperm quality, which is especially important for men dealing with infertility. Selenium regulates the function of reproductive organs and is involved in the synthesis of testosterone.
You can get a dose of vitamins, micronutrients and macronutrients to increase their potency in two ways: through food or vitamin complexes, food supplements.
- Tomatoes, corn, seafood, rye bread (selenium);
- Herring, shrimp, nuts, salmon, seabass, trout, garlic, egg yolk (zinc);
- Eggs, cheese, milk, cottage cheese, fish oil (vitamin D);
- Onions, vegetable oil, egg yolk (vitamin E);
- Citrus fruits, parsley, carrots, cabbage (vitamin C);
- Carrots, nuts, fish, cheese, cottage cheese (vitamin B).
Vitamin supplements when planning pregnancy
50% of the child's health depends on the father's physical condition
During the planning stages of pregnancy, expectant parents should take vitamins to avoid depriving the child's body of nutrients.
Why do men need to drink nutritional supplements?
- Vitamin B9. Oxygenates the blood, participates in the development of the baby's nervous system, and reduces the number of defective sperm containing wrong chromosomes.
- Vitamin A. Affects the formation of bones, eyes, lungs, heart, and kidneys in the embryonic stage.
- Vitamin C. Promote iron absorption and provide stable genetic information.
- Vitamin F (Omega 3, 6, 9). Promotes the fertilization process and is necessary for healthy sperm maturation.
- Vitamin E. Fights free radicals formed in the male body and has a protective effect on cells.
Vitamins for mature men
- A – Retinol, beta-carotene (1 mg);
- C——Ascorbic acid (100 mg);
- E——Tocopherol (10 mg);
- H——Biotin (0. 12 mg);
- D – Ergocalciferol, cholecalciferol (0. 015 mg);
- B1 - Thiamine (4 mg);
- B2——riboflavin (3. 5 mg);
- B6 – Pyridoxine (2. 5 mg);
- B9 - folic acid (0. 45 mg);
- B12 – Cyanocobalamin (0. 025 mg).
Adequate amounts of these vitamins in the body can reduce the risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, and support male strength, immune function, and vision.
Nutrient selection depends on the damaged internal organs and systems. Based on the clinical history, the doctor chooses a complex drug that combines targeted vitamins with general fortifiers.
vitamins for elderly men
- As the self-renewal process of organic matter slows down, the need for carbohydrates (from 340 grams to 290 grams) and protein decreases. The daily intake of "building" products (meat, fish, nuts) is calculated based on the following ratio: one gram of protein per kilogram of body weight.
- Bone tissue weakens and becomes brittle. The cause of this phenomenon is an increase in the content of inorganic substances in the bones. The weight-bearing joints (ankles, knees, hips) wear and tear, the amount of fluid in the joints decreases, and the elasticity of the ligaments weakens. If you do not consume additional calcium-containing foods or nutritional supplements during this period, the possibility of fractures will increase by 2-5 times, and osteoporosis and spinal disease will occur.
- Worsened absorption of vitamins and minerals. To stimulate the regulation of oxidative processes, there is an increased need for ascorbic acid, pantothenic acid, rutin, beta-carotene, tocopherol, thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, cyanocobalamin.
- The upper layers of skin become thinner, pigment spots form, and the dermis becomes dry and wrinkled.
- Fat is redistributed (breast and lower face sagging, abdominal enlargement), muscle tone decreases.
- Decreased vision, development of age-related hyperopia, and the following changes may occur: increased intraocular pressure, opacification of the lens.
- Damage to sensory organs: taste, smell, and hearing are weakened, and tinnitus occurs.
- Decreased levels of neurotransmitters and nerve cells, leading to an unstable psycho-emotional background; increased likelihood of depression.
- Reproductive function decline. Between the ages of 50 and 55 years, enlargement of the male prostate is observed; from 55 to 65 years, the physiological potency decreases. Age-related changes are accompanied by increased weight and decreased muscle strength. This period is called "male menopause".
- The activity of the thyroid gland is reduced. As a result, cholesterol levels increase, basal metabolic rate decreases, and physical and psychological weakness develops.
- Increased susceptibility to infectious diseases, tendency to develop diabetes, atherosclerosis, tumor development, and intellectual decline in old age.
- The function of the stomach and pancreas deteriorates and intestinal motility slows down, leading to constipation.
- Decreased sphincter and pelvic muscle tone (urinary incontinence) and bladder contractility. In older men, prostate adenomas often form around the urinary tract.
What vitamin supplements do older men need?
- Tocopherol (E) – a vitamin suitable for both young and old;
- Beta-carotene (A) – prevents the development of ophthalmic lesions;
- Ascorbic acid or organic vitamin C – strengthens the immune system;
- Rutin (R) – normalizes the condition of capillary walls, stimulates the activity of the adrenal cortex;
- Cholecalciferol (D) – strengthens bone and tooth tissue;
- B vitamins - regulate the stability of body functions and neutralize the consequences of psychological and emotional stress;
- Iodine – nourishes the thyroid gland;
- Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium – supports the function of the nervous and cardiovascular systems;
- Iron – necessary for normal hemoglobin levels in the blood;
- Chromium – prevents the formation of cholesterol plaque;
- Copper – has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.
For preventive purposes and to compensate for nutritional deficiencies, it is recommended to undergo vitamin therapy twice a year. It is best to take the drug in spring and winter, when the body is weak and the need for nutrients increases.
- Check your parameters (height, weight, pulse, pressure at rest and during physical activity) and compare them with normal values. If you notice any abnormalities, consult your doctor for a physical examination.
- Watch your diet. Eat only fresh food. Best foods for older men: Fruits, vegetables, berries (all), nuts (walnuts, brazil, almonds, pistachios), grains and legumes (brown rice, wheat, barley, oats, white beans), dairy and fish products(Low-fat cheese, cottage cheese, salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines). Drink a soothing tea of thyme, lemon balm, and chamomile before bed.
- Stay physically active. Exercise can lower cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure and weight. Men over 60 are recommended to engage in moderate physical activity that can be done for a long time: cycling, swimming, jogging, playing tennis.
- Don't forget about your personal life. Men over 60 should not neglect sex. At this age, the most important thing is routine, regularity and consistency.
- Watch your weight. To maintain a normal weight, exclude fatty, fried, smoked foods, sweets, flour products, salty, spicy foods from the menu. Eat meat (preferably poultry) once a day.
- Keep your heart healthy. Avoid factors that increase organ load: no smoking, no overeating, no drinking, and no exercising to the point of exhaustion.
- Monitor your blood pressure.
- Visit your urologist regularly.
- Take care of your nervous system (avoid stressful situations).
- Follow daily routines. Go to bed at the same time, take a walk in a fresh air place after meals, and ventilate the room before resting. The sleep time for men over 60 years old is 9-10 hours.
- Attend regular vitamin therapy sessions twice a year.
- Drink at least 2. 5 liters of raw water (filtered water) every day. The aging body loses about 1-1. 5 liters of fluid every day and needs to be replenished.
