Vitamin D and ED

What if you know of a supplement that can improve your erection as well as improve your hormone testosterone level? Well, stay tuned. In this episode, I'm going to tell you which one that is and how it does it for your erection. This podcast is for you. The modern man. I'm Dr. Anne Truong, your host. I'm an intimate health medical doctor and best selling author of the book Erectile Dysfunction Fix. I'll do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how it affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get started and be sure to visit my website at Sexual health for men podcast.com for more information and resources from the show. See you on the inside. Well, hello there modern man. Today I'm going to talk to you about a supplement that can help you with your erection as well as increase your hormone level. This is a new recent study that was done about a couple of years ago that looked at men who has ED and what they discovered is that men who has ED have low vitamin D. Vitamin D, like in dog, vitamin D is a very important hormone. It's actually considered a hormone and an essential vitamin. And you can only get vitamin D when you eat a lot of vegetables and fruit and it usually come in cruciferous type like vegetable, but luckily you can take it in a supplement form orally. What's important about this vitamin is that when it is low it actually is associated with ED and that low vitamin D can also be associated with low to testosterone as well. So what they found out, they look at 114 men with ED and they look at their blood level and almost all of those men have low level that is below 30. Now normal vitamin D should be between 30 to about 70 to 80 and even up to 100. Actually I recommend an optimal level around 50 to between 50 to 65. And vitamin D needs sunlight. All right, but you can take it orally, optimally, you can take it orally as a vitamin D3 as a good form or you can take it as a vitamin D2 or cholecalciferol in 50,000 units once a day, once a week or once every two weeks. Now what vitamin D is? Vitamin D is an antioxidant. So it's an antioxidant, but it also is good for the blood vessels. So it is nurture the cells of the blood vessel and it keeps the blood vessel clean and also healthy as well. So what the researcher has found is that Interestingly men with ED have a lower amount of vitamin D less than 30 and that if you supplement it, their erection is better. It's improved by about 30%. And what they also see is that the testosterone level also improve as well, about around probably like 20%. Now vitamin D protect you from oxidative stress, which means like inflammation and that is also good for your heart. And as we know, ED is caused by decreased blood flow. So when you have decreased blood flow, you have less blood going to to your penis. And that's what is impairing the erection and the firmness. So you need vitamin D to keep the blood vessel cells healthy so it can relax and can open up to receive the the increased blood flow. So that way your penis muscle can be able to get firm. So it is recommended that men get their vitamin D levels check and that it should be supplemented. Is it low? It should be supplemented and then with ED should get your vitamin D levels checked. It can be easily supplemented as an oral pill. You need to take about at least about 5,000 international units a day. If you're going to take it orally, make sure you take it in vitamin D3 form. Are you frustrated in dealing with erectile dysfunction? Your relationship is suffering and your medication is not working anymore. Well, what if I told you that ED is treatable and reversible?

So I want you to look at the link below or go to my show notes or go to men sexuality club.com sales page again mensexuality club.com sales page s a L E S P A G E I'll put the link below. Come join me in the modern man club. Check the link below this video and I'll put a give a suggestion of the certain vitamin D supplement that I recommend in my store. And just know that the vitamin that you buy over the counter sometime may not be potent and has a lot of fillers in there. What it means is that when you take it, you may not get the dose as recommended on the bottle or that it has a lot of fillers and your stomach cannot digest it or absorb it. So it may be just sitting there for hours on end and you end up taking a vitamin that may not even be absorbable. You're wasting your money and you're wasting precious space in your stomach for that. So make sure if you're gonna buy something over the counter, make sure it has insignia USP U and then S like in Sam P like in Paul on the bottle. Or check the link below on what I recommend a vitamin D you should take should take it about 5,000 units a day. But make sure that you get your blood levels check. Because vitamin D can be easily measured in the blood. All you have to do is get a blood level check. And in the United States you can get your blood levels checked actually even without a doctor's order. And sometimes you can even get your blood levels checked from a kit that can you can get and do it at home with a little finger stick and then you mail it in and you get the result. So if you are you want to know what your level is, get the blood levels checked. You can also measure your testosterone level as well through the bloodstick that I talk about. You can get it the kit ordered to your house and then also if you're on vitamin D, it should measure in about six weeks. You should see the level rise optimally. I like the level to be around 50 to 60. Vitamin D. And if you're taking the vitamin and you're not seeing an increase, it could be an increase in your vitamin D level. It could be that the supplement you're taking is not not being absorbed or two you have your stomach is not able to absorb it or not, or you're not taking enough dosage. So it's good to discuss it with a doctor. Oftentimes if I give my patient vitamin D and I know it's a good kind and and I don't see the levels going up, sometimes you may have to get it as an injectable form. You have to go see the doctor for that and they'll inject it into the muscle so you can get your levels up. Once you get your levels up, we can monitor that as well. So vitamin D is also important for energy as well too, and it's also good for your bones. So it's an essential vitamin. Make sure you check it. I can almost tell you 99% of the men I see have low vitamin D. One of the essential vitamins I recommend with all my treatment is they take vitamin D every day and you should too. All right. And make sure you get it measured. I'll leave some of the helpful link down below. And Modern Man I'll see you in the next episode and also stay tuned and find out about my Modern Man Club.
