What Vitamin Does a Man With ED Need?

If you search the internet for vitamins that can fix ED, you'll find hundreds of supplement brands claiming they hold the magic cure in a bottle. Most of it is junk. And from strictly clinical vascular standpoint, there's one specific vitamin that has an overwhelming body of clinical evidence linking it directly to ED, especially if you have moderate to severe vascular ED. And no, it's not another overhyped herbal blend. So, Somewhere in India. I'm talking about vitamin D, vitamin D3 particularly. In this video, I'm going to break down the hard science of why this nutrient acts less like a simple vitamin and more like a vascular hormone in the penis tissue. And B2 vitamin, that also will be very important as well too. And why popping random pills without blood work might actually be setting you back more than you think. Most men think losing peak performance is just getting old. I will tell you it's not. There's a natural proven protocol doctors rarely talk about that will restore your confidence without side effects. It is called the My Get Hard System, and you can get that by joining the Modern Man Club today. Go to noedman.com. That's noedman.com, and I'll see you there.

This podcast is for you, the modern man. I'm Dr. Anne Truong, your host. I'm an intimate health medical doctor and bestselling 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 sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more information and resources from the show. See you on the inside.

I'm Dr. Anne Truong. I'm a medical doctor specializing in sexual health, and I treated over 7,000 men over 25 years. Let's look at the definition of what a vitamin is. A vitamin is an organic or carbon-containing compound that an organism needs or the body needs in small quantity to support essential metabolic function. And it cannot be synthesized or made in sufficient amount in your body. So you have to attain it from your diet. But guess what? We are so busy, it's hard for us to eat the amount of food that is required, especially vegetables. And vitamin D comes from vegetables. So let's look at the data. A major systemic review article analyzing over 13,000 men found that those with moderate to severe blood flow, meaning ED due to blood flow, has significant lower serum vitamin D level than anyone else at that point. Now, in the nationwide data from a study that is the NAME study of vitamin D deficiency below 20 nanograms per mL, was independently associated with 30% higher risk of ED. Notice that word, independently. So that means that it wasn't just because these men are older or had high blood pressure or low testosterone. Vitamin D stood out on its own. Why is that? Because an erection is fundamentally a hydraulic event. For blood to enter and remain in the corpus cavernosa, your endothelium cell must produce adequate surge of nitric oxide.

Mm-hmm.

And vitamin D receptors are embedded in the vascular tissue or in the blood vessels. Quick note before we go any further. If you're a high-income man, usually the age between 45 to 85, and you're ready to invest to fix your ED without relying on pills or surgery, I have the Get Hard Protocol, an in-office program where we treat you in Virginia. We combine stem cells, Shockwave, Botox, Hormones, and lifestyle to help restore natural erection. It's not for everyone. You must be able to travel to Virginia and be comfortable investing around $16,000 for your health. If that's you, pause this video for a moment, click the link down below in the description that says Get ED Breakthrough with Dr. Anne and complete the application. If you're not in that position yet, no problem. Keep enjoying this video. And check out our Modern Man Club at NoEDMan.com. When vitamin D is deficient, 2 critical breakdowns happen. Number one, oxidative stress, superoxide radical surge, ability to decrease nitric oxide and also damage the blood vessel. Number 2, recent studies have shown that deficiency actually triggers cellular fibrosis in the penile tissue, And directly blunt your response to ED medication. So essentially it creates scar tissue and it make you less responsive to even ED medication. If you ever taken a blue pill and felt like it barely moved the needle, an underlying endothelial breakdown could be part of the equation. Now here's most online guru lie to you. And where I want to be completely honest with you, As a medical doctor practicing in sexual health over 25 years, vitamin D is not an overnight cure. When researchers run randomized controlled trials handing high-dose vitamin D to random groups of men, the results are mixed.

Why?

Because if your vitamin D level's already good, it wouldn't work. So the point is, if you're low, it will work. But what this point I'm trying to make here is that You need to get your blood work to know where you are in vitamin D. You need to get your blood work for 25-hydroxy vitamin D level so that way you know where you're starting at. If it's low, it's harming your blood flow and it's also harming your nitric oxide machinery as well too. And if you take ED medication, it isn't going to help because your vitamin D level is low. So let's talk about the supporting cast at this point. Beyond vitamin D, there are 2 essential players worth examining, folate and vitamin B12. These 2 vitamins control a compound in your blood called homocysteine. So when you are deficient in folate and vitamin B12, the homocysteine level climb. High homocysteine directly poison the blood vessels and the nitric oxide as well. So what that mean is that it will affect how the arteries open up to get in more blood flow. So in clinical studies shows that men with higher severity of ED consistently show lower folate and high homocysteine. While folate isn't a standalone frontline fix, evaluating this pathway gives us a clearer picture of your underlying cause of why your blood flow is not working. So that's the reason why we add the vitamin B in our complete multivitamin that we have in the office. And we also give you vitamin D3 when we're treating men with ED. So you can find these vitamins at ednomore.com store. So you can get all the essential vitamins, the B, the C, and the D at our store. Men often ask me if they should buy mega-dose antioxidant supplement. My answer is no. High-dose isolated antioxidant pill is actually cause more harm in excess. What really moves the needle is your diet. Follow the Mediterranean diet because it has all the antioxidants in there that you need. And our multivitamin here has the zinc that you also need as well too, and the vitamin B. But the vitamin D, because in higher amount, you need to take it separately as well too. So don't spend your money on chasing after shiny objects. Or weird names. These vitamins are what you need. Now, they're separate from other testosterone boosters. We'll talk about that later. The bottom line is, if you're dealing with ED, guessing your way through the supplement aisle or trying to buy something online is a waste of your time. What you need to do is get your blood work done. Okay? I talk about getting blood work would measure vitamin D3. That's 25-hydroxy. D level, look at your folate level, look at your B12 level, and also get your testosterone level measured. Check out a video that I did on blood work that you need to have when you have ED, because if you don't know what you're deficient in, you cannot replace it. So if you know what you're deficient in, you can replace it and monitor the response. Make sure you get your blood work done because that is the beginning of how you reverse ED. So ED is almost never an isolated symptom. It is an early warning system for your vascular network.
