Viagra Not Working? You Might Just Need Vitamin D - AI Podcast

18 Jul 2025

Description

Story at-a-glance Research reveals vitamin D deficiency damages blood vessel health, impairing their ability to relax and significantly contributing to erectile dysfunction and broader vascular problems Optimal vitamin D levels (60 to 80 ng/mL) are essential for sexual function, as low levels reduce nitric oxide availability and weaken response to erectile dysfunction medications like Viagra Vitamin D activates protective proteins that shield blood vessels from oxidative damage, while deficiency allows harmful superoxide molecules to build up and attack vascular tissue Direct sunlight exposure is the best natural source of vitamin D, but supplementation with D3 is often necessary during winter months or for those with limited sun exposure For maximum effectiveness, vitamin D supplementation should be paired with magnesium and vitamin K2, which help activate and direct vitamin D to where it's needed most
