Italian researchers found that vitamin D deficiency can lead to reduced penile hardness. Of course these conditions can be a frightening specter for men.
When the researchers tested 143 people with varying degrees of erectile dysfunction, they found that nearly half of respondents were deficient in vitamin D. Only one of the five people who have optimal levels of vitamins.
Not only that, men with severe impotence cases turns her vitamin D levels about 24 percent lower than men are relatively mild erection disorders.
According to researchers, Alessandra Barassi, deficiency of vitamin D can stimulate the production of free radical called superoxide ions. These free radicals deplete nitric oxide, a molecule that helps your blood vessels function properly. The result: penile erectile dysfunction.
