The male body significantly differs from the female one. Maintaining health with supplements and vitamins is essential for proper functioning, according to cardiologist Natalia Ivaniuk.
Which vitamins are necessary for men?
The only thing that is the same in female and male bodies is the need for additional intake of vitamins because one's diet is insufficient.
For men's health, all vitamins are important. However, it is extremely important to emphasize the regular intake of B-group elements, zinc, and selenium, as well as vitamins D, C, A, E, and magnesium.
Vitamin B
It increases resilience and rejuvenates the nervous system, ensuring a high level of cognitive abilities in men. Vitamin B also helps to adapt better to stressful situations.
Vitamin C
The vitamin works wonders on immune-forming processes. Moreover, it effectively fights the consequences of nicotine dependence in smokers.
Selenium
The vitamin prevents the development of prostate adenoma, male infertility, and increases sperm motility.
Selenium also reduces sensitivity to various infectious diseases and acts as a potent antioxidant.
Zinc
It is necessary for all processes associated with enhanced cell division (growth, wound healing, spermatogenesis).
Moreover, zinc actively participates in nucleic acid metabolism and protein synthesis.
Vitamin A
It effectively reduces testosterone production and can lead to decreased vision.
It also contributes to the proper functioning of the body's natural defenses against infections and other diseases. The vitamin supports immune function by promoting the growth and distribution of T-cells, a type of white blood cell that protects our body from infection.
Vitamin E
This vitamin is involved in the production of male sex hormones and is important for vascular patency and tone.
Specifically, vitamin E protects cells from damage by free radicals and reduces the formation of free radicals in certain situations.
It also enhances immune function and prevents the formation of clots in the heart arteries.
Vitamin D
Promotes normal immune system function, regulates inflammatory processes in the body, and may reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases, including certain forms of cancer.
