See you on the inside. 9 00:00:37,470 --> 00:00:41,970 Hello there, Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne Truong. I have treated over 10 00:00:42,090 --> 00:00:47,760 7000 men with ED. Do you know this one vitamin, which is also 11 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:52,380 a hormone, it's essential for you to get an erection. Stay 12 00:00:52,380 --> 00:00:56,190 tuned to find out the mechanism why, and why you need to take 13 00:00:56,190 --> 00:01:00,600 this vitamin every day for your performance. All right, let's 14 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:01,650 just dive into it. 15 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,100 What is this vitamin which is also considered a hormone that 16 00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:12,280 is vital to your erection. It is vitamin D, D as in dog. Vitamin 17 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:18,580 D3. Not D2 but D3. A recent study that came out in March of 18 00:01:18,610 --> 00:01:25,720 2025 which shows that low blood levels of vitamin D is related 19 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:32,050 to low nitric oxide, and also when you have low nitric oxide 20 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:37,540 it's also correlate with erection dysfunction as well. So 21 00:01:37,570 --> 00:01:44,590 how vitamin D affect erection is that low vitamin D is associated 22 00:01:44,620 --> 00:01:48,940 with penile fibrosis, which means scar tissue that is 23 00:01:48,970 --> 00:01:53,920 present in the corpus cavernosum or the tissue of the penis. And 24 00:01:53,950 --> 00:02:00,070 also low vitamin D predispose you to have less response to 25 00:02:00,130 --> 00:02:05,980 PDE-5 inhibitors or medication like Viagra or Cialis. 26 00:02:06,190 --> 00:02:11,020 So how does work? Is that low vitamin D make you more 27 00:02:11,020 --> 00:02:16,420 susceptible to oxidative stress, or what they call superoxide 28 00:02:16,420 --> 00:02:20,560 level. Essentially, low vitamin D predispose you to get more 29 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,540 inflammation or radicals, which then decrease your nitric oxide 30 00:02:25,540 --> 00:02:31,090 level, which then cause fibrosis or scar tissue and not respond 31 00:02:31,090 --> 00:02:34,240 well to ED medication. 32 00:02:34,510 --> 00:02:40,270 So having said that, the study correlate that low vitamin D is 33 00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:44,950 almost one of the causes of erectile dysfunction. Now that's 34 00:02:44,950 --> 00:02:49,030 important, because I will tell you, in the 27 years I've been 35 00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:54,070 in practice and treated over 7000 men, 99.9% of men that I 36 00:02:54,070 --> 00:02:59,200 see have low vitamin D level. Now vitamin D level ranges from 37 00:02:59,410 --> 00:03:05,380 30 to about 60, and when you have 30 it's very, very low. And 38 00:03:05,380 --> 00:03:09,460 the way that you get vitamin D is really through vegetables. 39 00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:12,400 And the only way for you get vitamin D, but you will have to 40 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,330 take at least five to seven servings a day to get adequate 41 00:03:16,330 --> 00:03:20,470 vitamin D3. So all of us don't have time to eat that many 42 00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:25,060 vegetables in the day, and also the absorption is dependent upon 43 00:03:25,330 --> 00:03:30,790 your stomach lining, how well it absorbs. And most of us have 44 00:03:30,820 --> 00:03:36,220 absorption problem, either reflux or gastritis or ulcer. I 45 00:03:36,220 --> 00:03:39,490 have an ulcer too, so my absorption is not the greatest 46 00:03:39,490 --> 00:03:40,030 either. 47 00:03:40,150 --> 00:03:44,170 Okay, Modern Man, you are not alone and you don't have to 48 00:03:44,170 --> 00:03:49,300 suffer anymore. ED can feel isolating, frustrating, and even 49 00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:54,250 defeating. The endless guessing, the quiet shame, the weight of 50 00:03:54,250 --> 00:03:58,360 not feeling like yourself is exhausting. But here's the 51 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,670 truth, you are not broken. You are not alone. You don't have to 52 00:04:03,670 --> 00:04:08,770 figure this out alone anymore. The Get Wood Now Boost Program 53 00:04:08,950 --> 00:04:13,990 is your step by step, path to sexual confidence and 54 00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:18,580 restoration. No more suffering in silence, no more trial and 55 00:04:18,610 --> 00:04:23,440 error, just real solution, real result and the confidence you 56 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,360 deserve. It's time to take back your power on your term. Let's 57 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,960 get this journey started together. Check out the course 58 00:04:32,050 --> 00:04:36,430 at getwoodnow.com. I'll see you there. 59 00:04:36,510 --> 00:04:42,870 So 99.9% of us have low vitamin D level, and I would like men 60 00:04:42,990 --> 00:04:47,490 with good erectile function to have vitamin D level around mid 61 00:04:47,490 --> 00:04:53,130 40 to around mid 50, instead of down the low range of 30. 62 00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:57,680 Now the important thing is not all vitamin D are created the 63 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:03,350 same. Now what you need is cholecalciferol, which is 64 00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:08,450 vitamin D3. Now, the one that sometimes the doctor prescribed 65 00:05:08,450 --> 00:05:15,140 for you is vitamin D2, calciferol. So that is not 66 00:05:15,140 --> 00:05:20,360 absorbed as well. And what unique cholecalciferol, which is 67 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:26,120 vitamin D3 and luckily, you can take this as a supplement, which 68 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:32,450 can be taken orally. I recommend vitamin D3 with K2 and at least 69 00:05:32,450 --> 00:05:36,770 2,000 unit to 5,000 unit a day at this point. But you need to 70 00:05:36,770 --> 00:05:41,090 probably get your vitamin D3 levels checked. And how you do 71 00:05:41,090 --> 00:05:44,060 that? Just a blood draw the same way you would check for 72 00:05:44,060 --> 00:05:48,050 cholesterol and blood sugar, but get that checked and tell me 73 00:05:48,050 --> 00:05:51,260 what your levels are, because your level should be around mid 74 00:05:51,290 --> 00:05:55,100 40s to mid 50s. Okay, and make sure that you're taking vitamin 75 00:05:55,280 --> 00:06:01,430 D3 and K2 because it's better absorbed in that compound. So 76 00:06:01,430 --> 00:06:06,890 check out our store at ednomore.com where we have the 77 00:06:06,890 --> 00:06:11,090 vitamin D3, K2, that is compounded so it's easily 78 00:06:11,090 --> 00:06:14,300 absorbed. It's 100% potent because not all vitamins are 79 00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:18,230 made the same. So if you're taking vitamin over the counter, 80 00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:23,330 make sure that it has a certification by USP that it's 81 00:06:23,330 --> 00:06:26,360 been checked. But you also have to know too, if you're taking 82 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,240 it, you need to get your blood levels checked. Because 83 00:06:29,270 --> 00:06:32,060 sometimes you're taking it but your body's not absorbing it, 84 00:06:32,060 --> 00:06:36,110 then it may not be a waste of your time and your money. So get 85 00:06:36,110 --> 00:06:39,500 your blood levels checked and oftentime you need to increase 86 00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:43,280 the dose. Sometimes we give patient 5,000 units a day, 87 00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:48,020 sometimes 10,000 units of vitamin D3 a day. I myself take 88 00:06:48,050 --> 00:06:53,090 10,000 units of D3 a day at this point to get my levels up into 89 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,320 the mid 50s. 90 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,980 So having said that, I hope this is helpful, that you should get 91 00:06:58,980 --> 00:07:03,480 your vitamin D3 levels checked, and the blood work for that is 92 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:09,150 vitamin D25 is the way that you could have your doctors check in 93 00:07:09,150 --> 00:07:14,400 the blood work. So D25 and that you're taking vitamin D, because 94 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,680 all of us are deficient in that at this point. It's just so easy 95 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,480 to help with your erectile function by supplementing with 96 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:31,200 vitamin D3 checkout our stored at ednomore for the vitamin D3 97 00:07:31,260 --> 00:07:35,520 K2.
