💊Best vitamin complexes for men for 2020

According to surveys and statistics, representatives of the stronger sex pay much less attention to their health and good nutrition than the fair half of humanity. For this reason, men are more likely to suffer from a lack of vitamins and minerals. This negatively affects the activity of all body systems. Balanced vitamin and mineral complexes designed specifically for men help to correct the situation. In order to understand the variety of drugs on the market and choose the most suitable product in terms of price and quality, the editorial staff of "I found" prepared an overview of the most popular vitamin complexes for men.

Why vitamins are good for men

In winter and spring, the human body suffers most from the lack of vitamins, minerals and trace elements. The result is the appearance of such an unpleasant condition as vitamin deficiency.

The main signs of vitamin deficiency:

• Lack of strength and energy;
• Apathy;
• Drowsiness;
• Problems in the genital area;
• Dull complexion;
• Hair breaks and falls out;
• Frequent colds.

The male body needs approximately the same set of nutrients as the female, but the need for certain vitamins and trace elements in the sexes is slightly different. Due to the peculiarities of the hormonal background, representatives of the strong half of humanity should pay attention to the following vitamins and trace elements:

• L-kartynin is responsible for the potency and the ability to conceive a healthy child, removes toxins from the body, strengthens the nervous system and immunity. Its lack is expressed in the problems of the sexual sphere.
• Vitamin D determines the state of immunity and joint mobility. We get the necessary dose of this vitamin by walking in the fresh air in sunny weather, therefore, its lack is especially pronounced in the cold, autumn-winter period. As a result, the work of the cardiovascular system is disrupted, calcium is not absorbed, and brain activity decreases.
• Vitamin C. The body's resistance to colds depends on it. If this substance is not enough, a person constantly "clings" infections, easily catches a cold.
• Vitamin E - is responsible for the process of hematopoiesis and the ability to have a full sex life. With its lack, blood does not enter the genitals in sufficient quantities, which leads to the impossibility of full sexual intercourse.
• B vitamins. Well-being, performance, the state of the nervous system, skin and hair depends on their presence in the body. Particular attention should be paid to them for athletes and men who lead an active lifestyle with constant physical exertion.
• Folic acid ensures the absorption of all essential vitamins and minerals by the body, helps to keep calm in stressful situations.
• Vitamin A is considered to be the strongest antioxidant in reducing the risk of malignant tumors. This substance is indispensable for those who suffer from skin problems like acne, acne or excessive dryness.
• Zinc naturally increases testosterone levels in a man's body, making him more enduring and energized. Its deficiency is evidenced by hair loss and baldness.
• Iodine is responsible for the activity of the brain and the efficiency of thought processes. Its deficiency can lead to severe thyroid diseases and hormonal imbalance.
• Potassium and sodium - ensure optimal water-salt balance in cells and tissues, proper functioning of the heart muscle, liver and kidneys.
• Magnesium helps you stay active and cheerful. Its chronic deficiency is evidenced by rapid fatigue and the appearance of cramps in the limbs.
• Omega-3 acids are essential for both men and women as they strengthen the walls of blood vessels, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
• Iron transports oxygen, which is needed by all cells, tissues and organs of the human body. With a strong shortage of this substance, during physical exertion, there is a rapid heartbeat, dizziness. Weakness, brittle hair and pale skin appear.
• Calcium is especially useful for men after 40 and 50 years, since at this age the condition of the bones worsens. They become more fragile and need additional strengthening.

Nature intended that all of the listed vitamins and microelements should be obtained from food. But in the modern world, in view of the difficult ecological situation and the poor quality of food, this is almost impossible, therefore, to maintain men's health, special vitamin complexes have been created, which we will discuss in more detail in this article.

Types of vitamin and mineral complexes for men

1. Preparations, the main purpose of which is to strengthen immunity during the cold season and replenish the lack of trace elements in the body. They should contain vitamins C and D, iron, magnesium, plant components, for example, extracts of Eleutherococcus and Echinacea
2. Complexes designed to improve potency and erectile function. They are effective prevention of problems in the genital area. They often contain ginseng, ginger root and other herbal ingredients.
3. Vitamins for athletes and men leading an active lifestyle. Such preparations contain an increased dose of essential trace elements and substances that increase endurance, strengthen muscles and joints: B vitamins, iodine, zinc, levocartinin, biotin, amino acids, etc.
4. Preparations that strengthen hair and prevent hair loss. Their reception is relevant for the stronger sex after 35 years, when the hormonal background gradually begins to change and hair begins to fall out.
5. Complexes for men planning to conceive. The decision to have a child is a responsible step for both parents, requiring them to be attentive to their own health. The composition of drugs for men and women pursuing this goal does not differ significantly.

Criteria for choosing a vitamin complex

1. The goal to be achieved. To improve health and replenish the deficiency of nutrients, it is better to choose a simple complex drug, and if the task is narrower, for example, to improve the potency or condition of the hair, then you should take a closer look at the appropriate means.
2. Release form. It is better to determine for yourself in what form it will be most convenient to take the drug. Most vitamins are available as tablets, capsules and pills, but liquid forms can also be found.
3. Lack of contraindications and components that cause an allergic reaction. If you do not read the instructions for use before taking, then instead of a positive result, unpleasant consequences may occur.
4. The number of tablets in one package. Ideally, they should be enough for a full course, otherwise the costs will increase significantly.
5. Composition of the preparation. If there is a special need for certain groups of vitamins or trace elements, then you need to check if they are included in the selected product.
6. Safety and naturalness of components. It is better to refuse synthetic preparations in favor of complexes based on plant extracts.
7. Potential health benefits. The larger the spectrum of supposed positive effects, the better.
8. The price of the drug. If your personal budget does not allow you to buy expensive fashionable drugs, then they can easily be replaced with cheaper analogues.
