Penis Health and Nutrition – Supporting Healthy Erections

To keep a car running smoothly, it needs frequent oil changes, the right fuel, and regular maintenance checks. The same thing holds true for the body – when it is not maintained properly, parts can break down, and systems do not work together smoothly to keep things functioning the  way they should. When it comes to penis health, taking the right care of the equipment is essential to ensure responsive skin, adequate blood flow, and healthy erections. Here are some of the important nutrients that men should include in a regular penis care routine.

Vitamin A – This vitamin plays multiple roles in penis health. As a natural antibacterial, it reduces the number of harmless bacteria in the pelvic area, cutting down on unpleasant odors. In addition, vitamin A, also known as retinol, is often used as a treatment for acne and scarring of the dermal tissue, as well as wrinkles associated with aging and sun damage.

Vitamin B5 – B vitamins are essential in maintaining healthy cell metabolism and ensuring that the cells of the penis reproduce properly.

Vitamin C – Like vitamin A, vitamin C is vitally important to penile tissue health. It is needed for building and repairing skin cells and connective tissue and helps to maintain the elasticity of the skin, helping it to expand and return to its original shape. Vitamin C also supports healthy circulatory tissue, promoting healthy erections and helping to ensure that all cells of the penis are well-nourished.

Vitamin D – This vitamin is important to all aspects of healthy cell function. While the skin makes vitamin D when it is exposed to the sun, men who live in climates that are not sunny all year round are at greater risk for vitamin D deficiencies. Certain foods are fortified with vitamin D, but for many, supplementing this important nutrient can have important skin benefits.

Vitamin E – This essential nutrient is known for its skin-soothing properties and is often used along with A and B vitamins in treating red, rough, scaling skin conditions. Vitamin E also forms a natural moisture barrier, helping to prevent drying of the skin.

Acetyl L Carnitine – This amino acid is essential in repairing peripheral nerve damage related to rough masturbation or aggressive sex. In addition, it helps to repair damaged skin and nerve cells and plays an important role in healthy erectile function.

L Arginine – Another amino acid, L Arginine is important to overall circulatory health and to preventing and repairing circulatory tissue damage that can lead to reduced erectile function and prominent varicose veins in the penis.

Alpha lipoic acid – Alpha lipoic acid works with acetyl L carnitine to promote healthy cell function; as an antioxidant, it also works to reduce the appearance of aging, wrinkled skin.

Penis Moisturizers

In addition to these nutrients, a high-quality, all-natural moisturizer is important in keeping the skin hydrated, preventing loss of moisture that can result in dry, cracked skin that is prone to infection. Natural plant-based moisturizers such as shea butter or cocoa butter are generally safe for sensitive skin and highly effective.

How to make the most of penis nutrition

Many of the nutrients described here can be found in natural food sources; eating a balanced, healthy diet is a good way to contribute to overall penis health. On the other hand, not all nutrients are easily absorbed by  the digestive system, and in many cases, vitamins and minerals are shunted to other parts of the body and do not directly benefit the penis.

Some men opt for oral supplements, but not all supplements include the necessary ingredients for penis health, and again, these nutrients are not always readily absorbed. Some men’s sexual health supplements may provide important vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants, but men should be very careful about taking sex-boosting products, as these sometimes contain hidden ingredients that may interfere with other medications or result in unpleasant side effects.

However, a topical penis vitamin cream  (most health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) containing penis-specific nutrients can be applied directly to the penis skin, ensuring that the penile tissue receives the full benefit, without the risk associated with oral pills and capsules.
