Vitamins and microelements that affect the condition of the male reproductive system

Vitamins for potency

Comprehensive analysis to determine the contents in the body Vitamins (A, C, B9, B12) and microelements (Se, Zn, Mn, Ni, Cr, Fe, Co), is carried out with the aim of assessing their balance and, if necessary, bringing it to the recommended values.

Male reproductive systemis represented by a set of organs that perform reproductive functions and provide the possibility of sexual reproduction. Because the male reproductive system is closely related to other systems and organs, it is important for the full, uninterrupted functioning of the entire body. The normal functioning of the reproductive system is possible only due to the positive influence of certain vitamins and microelements.

For the correct and harmonious functioning of the male reproductive system, a certain set of the most important microelements and vitamins is necessary. Not only a deficiency, but also an excess of nutrients negatively affects the activities of the reproductive system. In addition, in the latter case, the action of vitamins and microelements is similar to the action of toxins.

The importance of microelements for the state of the male reproductive system

  1. selenium. It is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals that negatively affect the process of sperm production. The trace element protects sperm from damage and destruction, has a positive effect on sperm quality, ensures normal spermatogenesis and increases ejaculate volume. Selenium also prolongs reproductive age, increases libido and helps normalize blood circulation in the male genitals.
  2. manganese. Manganese affects sperm activity and is necessary for fertilization of the egg. The microelement is involved in the body's metabolic processes and in the production of hemoglobin. It ensures better absorption of vitamins, including vitamin C and B vitamins, which are important for the male reproductive system.
  3. Nickel and chrome. The concentration of these microelements in the body is extremely low, but without them the normal functioning of the male reproductive system is impossible. Nickel and chromium are involved in the formation of sperm cells, are necessary for maintaining the structure of DNA and RNA and protect them from harmful effects, which is crucial for the preservation of genetic information and its transmission.
  4. zinc. Participates in the synthesis of male sex hormones, improves the quality characteristics of sperm and has a positive effect on sperm motility. Prevents erectile dysfunction and prevents the development of inflammation in the prostate.
  5. iron. The main purpose of the microelement is its inclusion in the composition of red blood cells and hemoglobin. Iron is necessary to supply oxygen to all organs and tissues, including the cells of the reproductive system.
  6. Cobalt.It is an integral part of DNA synthesis, participates in the process of hematopoiesis and increases iron absorption.

The importance of vitamins for the condition of the male reproductive system  

  1. Vitamin A. Ensures the normal course of testosterone synthesis, contributes to maintaining potency and has a positive effect on the production of seminal fluid. Thanks to its inherent antioxidant effect, vitamin A ensures the regeneration of the cells of the male reproductive system and reliably protects them from the effects of toxic components and the development of inflammatory processes.
  2. Vitamin Cis involved in the process of testosterone production and has a positive effect on the synthesis of dopamine, on which libido depends. It improves blood circulation, increases the elasticity of the vascular walls and is therefore effective against prostatitis.
  3. Vitamin B9. Has a positive effect on men's reproductive abilities. The vitamin is necessary for potency, participates in the process of sperm production, improves the qualitative and quantitative properties of seminal fluid and helps to reduce the number of sperm with genetic mutations. Reduces the likelihood of developing male infertility and the birth of babies with severe genetic pathologies.
  4. Vitamin B12. It is an indispensable participant in the process of hematopoiesis. Improves the quality and quantity of ejaculate and increases sexual desire. Essential for the formation of healthy DNA. Vitamin B12 is an effective way to prevent and treat erectile dysfunction or impotence.

When is a test for vitamins and microelements required?

Comprehensive analysis of the main microelements and vitamins necessary for the normal functioning of the male reproductive systemprescribe:

  • when planning a pregnancy;
  • when conducting a preventive examination of a man;
  • if the patient has complaints about the functioning of the reproductive system, including male infertility, the etiology of which is not clear;
  • Examination of men who have a high probability of deficiency of microcomponents and vitamins (subject to a vegan diet, the presence of concomitant diseases and bad habits) in the diagnosis of pathologies accompanied by blood loss.

Recommendations for preparing for your studies

Venous blood is used as biological test material. The recommended time to take the test is from 8 a. m. to 11 a. m. in the morning. The blood sample should be taken on an empty stomach; On the day of the procedure, it is forbidden to consume drinks in addition to food, with the exception of ordinary still drinking water.  

For the reliability of the research resultsStrict adherence to a number of recommendations is required:

  • The day before the test, the diet should be free of fried and fatty foods, since the blood is unsuitable for diagnostic purposes if fat particles enter the bloodstream.
  • The day before blood sampling, high physical activity must be excluded. Heavy physical work, sports and various sports are strictly prohibited. It is important to avoid emotional shocks, both negative and positive;
  • You should not smoke one hour before collecting biological material.

It should also be remembered that the doctor must be informed of all medications taken before the test begins. The specialist must decide whether it is possible to continue therapy or whether a temporary interruption is necessary.

If the patient undergoes instrumental examinations such as X-ray examination, fluorography, as well as after surgical interventions, massage or physiotherapy procedures, it is recommended to donate blood to determine the concentration of vitamins and microelements no earlier than a week.

Research method

A blood test to determine vitamins and microelements that affect the functioning of the male reproductive system is carried out in two steps. In the first stage, liquid chromatography is used to separate the components of the sample of seized biological material. In the second step, so-called mass spectrometry, the resulting components are analyzed, which is based on measuring the charges and mass of the molecules. This makes it possible to determine their elemental composition and determine the quantitative properties of nutrients.

What do the results mean?

The test result has a quantitative format. Individual reference values are given for all microelements and vitamins to be examined.  

A drop in performance can have the following causes:

  • Nutrient deficiency of vitamins and microelements in the body;
  • Intestinal pathologies, the characteristic manifestation of which is a violation of the process of absorption of nutrients and their assimilation by the male body;
  • Smoke;
  • Alcoholism.

Increased performanceare caused in the vast majority of cases by excessive consumption of microelements and vitamins.  This is often observed when taking vitamin complexes.
