Vitamin D deficiency causes erectile dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is a disorder in which a man can’t keep a firm erection for the sexual intercourse. Many reasons are behind this problem. A good number of studies have been carried out for finding out the causes of erectile dysfunction. The lack of vitamins are also responsible for this.

The deficiency of Vitamin D may be the cause of erectile dysfunction. It may darken your sex life. It has been found in a new research conducted in Italy that the lack of Vitamin D may be the cause of erectile dysfunction. 

The researchers conducted the study on 143 men with different levels of erectile dysfunction. They found that almost half of them suffered from the deficiency of Vitamin D. It is worrying that the men with the most severe erectile dysfunction cases appeared to have vitamin D levels 24% lower than those of a healthy man. 

The deficiency of Vitamin D boosts the production of free radicals that destroy nitric oxide, a molecule which helps the proper functioning of the blood vessels. As a result, the erection becomes more complicated. 

If you suffer from erectile dysfunction, you should consult your doctor to check the level of Vitamin D in your body. If you suffer from the deficiency of Vitamin D, take supplements to make up the deficiency.
