According to a report posted by Dailystar,
it is goodnews for some men as one vitamin that could help boost
erections and make you perform better in bed has been unveiled.
Not being able to get it up is a common problem, but it means you could be suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED).
We all know that popping a little blue pill works as an antidote
for a floppy pen*s but you might actually be lacking a natural
erection-boosting nutrient.
Lads with low levels of the sunshine are more likely to have pen*s
performance issues, as getting more vitamin D can boosts your erection
and performance between the sheets.
ED affects half of all men between the ages of 40 and 70, but
researchers from the University of Milan in Italy found that having a
vitamin D deficiency can increase your risk of erection issues.
The team tested 143 erectile dysfunction sufferers and discovered
nearly half of them had low levels of the sunshine vitamin and only a
fifth had optimal levels.
Men with the most extreme cases of ED had 24% less vitamin D than
lads with mild erection problems. But this wasn’t the only study to
notice a link between trouble getting it up and the natural nutrient.
Scientists at Johns Hopkins University studied 3,400 healthy
Americans and those who had a vitamin D deficiency were nearly a third
more likely to have issues with getting hard.
Study author Dr. Erin Michos said: "Vitamin D deficiency is
easy to screen for and simple to correct with lifestyle changes that
include exercise, dietary changes, vitamin supplementation and modest
sunlight exposure.
"Checking vitamin D levels may turn out to be a useful tool to
gauge ED risk. The most relevant clinical question then becomes whether
correcting the deficiency could reduce risk and help restore erectile
dysfunction.”
If boosting your erection wasn’t reason enough to stock up on
vitamin D, health officials advised today that everyone should be
swallowing the supplements in autumn and winter.
You can get a little bit of vitamin D from foods like oily fish,
eggs and cereals but for most people the bulk of their vitamin D comes
from sunlight.
But since it’s dark towards the end of the year, scientists have
now suggested everyone over the age of one should be getting 10
micrograms of vitamin D every day to protect bone and muscle health.
Dr Louis Levy told BBC Radio 4: "Previously we felt that everybody would get enough from the sunlight.
"This is a change in advice, previously we have said that
babies from six months to five years should have a supplement and only
those people at risk of deficiency should take a supplement.
"This is new advice based on evidence looked at over the last five years."
But why do men need this vitamin for good pen*s function?
It’s because vitamin D plays a role in improving endothelial cell
function and forming nitric oxide, a molecule that helps blood vessels
function properly.
Nitric oxide allows blood vessels in the pen*s to relax which
increases blood flow and causes an erection, so if there’s not enough it
means getting stiff becomes a problem.
The blood vessels in your pen*s are very small, only one or two
millimetres in diameter, so they can also easily get blocked by plaque
caused by factors like a poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, age or
genetics.
Although it might be embarrassing you shouldn’t ignore pen*s problems because ED is typically linked to larger health problems.
Being unable to get hard is often a sign that your heart isn’t very
healthy because poor cardiovascular health is the most common cause of
ED.
Sometimes it’s also a symptom of health conditions like diabetes,
high cholesterol or high blood pressure. It can affect anyone, either as
a one-off or reoccurring problem.
The pen*s issue, which can be psychological or physical, can also be linked with fatigue, stress, anxiety or depression.
Speaking exclusively to Dailystar.co.uk, Dr Pixie McKenna, Superdrug’s Health and Wellbeing ambassador, said: "Research has suggested that men who have low levels of Vitamin D are more likely to suffer from impotence.
"It is important to stress that this is an association and does
not imply every man with ED is vitamin D deficient or vice versa.
"Supplementing Vitamin D may have much greater impact beyond
the bedroom as emerging evidence suggests it has a protective role in
everything from cancer to multiple sclerosis. So the sunshine vitamin is
not just one for the boys.
"Diet alone won’t give you enough vitamin D so your resources need to be topped up through safe sun exposure or supplements."
The celebrity GP added: “Your ED could be a symptom of an underlying medical issue that is yet to be diagnosed.
“If you already have a diagnosis of heart disease or diabetes make sure it is being optimally managed.
