Hello there, Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne Truong. I have treated over
7000 men with ED. Do you know this one vitamin, which is also
a hormone, it's essential for you to get an erection. Stay
tuned to find out the mechanism why, and why you need to take
this vitamin every day for your performance. All right, let's
just dive into it.
What is this vitamin which is also considered a hormone that
is vital to your erection. It is vitamin D, D as in dog. Vitamin
D3. Not D2 but D3. A recent study that came out in March of
2025 which shows that low blood levels of vitamin D is related
to low nitric oxide, and also when you have low nitric oxide
it's also correlate with erection dysfunction as well. So
how vitamin D affect erection is that low vitamin D is associated
with penile fibrosis, which means scar tissue that is
present in the corpus cavernosum or the tissue of the penis. And
also low vitamin D predispose you to have less response to
PDE-5 inhibitors or medication like Viagra or Cialis.
So how does work? Is that low vitamin D make you more
susceptible to oxidative stress, or what they call superoxide
level. Essentially, low vitamin D predispose you to get more
inflammation or radicals, which then decrease your nitric oxide
level, which then cause fibrosis or scar tissue and not respond
well to ED medication.
So having said that, the study correlate that low vitamin D is
almost one of the causes of erectile dysfunction. Now that's
important, because I will tell you, in the 27 years I've been
in practice and treated over 7000 men, 99.9% of men that I
see have low vitamin D level. Now vitamin D level ranges from
30 to about 60, and when you have 30 it's very, very low. And
the way that you get vitamin D is really through vegetables.
And the only way for you get vitamin D, but you will have to
take at least five to seven servings a day to get adequate
vitamin D3. So all of us don't have time to eat that many
vegetables in the day, and also the absorption is dependent upon
your stomach lining, how well it absorbs. And most of us have
absorption problem, either reflux or gastritis or ulcer. I
have an ulcer too, so my absorption is not the greatest
either.
Okay, Modern Man, you are not alone and you don't have to
suffer anymore. ED can feel isolating, frustrating, and even
defeating. The endless guessing, the quiet shame, the weight of
not feeling like yourself is exhausting. But here's the
truth, you are not broken. You are not alone. You don't have to
figure this out alone anymore. The Get Wood Now Boost Program
is your step by step, path to sexual confidence and
restoration. No more suffering in silence, no more trial and
error, just real solution, real result and the confidence you
deserve. It's time to take back your power on your term. Let's
get this journey started together. Check out the course
at getwoodnow.com. I'll see you there.
So 99.9% of us have low vitamin D level, and I would like men
with good erectile function to have vitamin D level around mid
40 to around mid 50, instead of down the low range of 30.
Now the important thing is not all vitamin D are created the
same. Now what you need is cholecalciferol, which is
vitamin D3. Now, the one that sometimes the doctor prescribed
for you is vitamin D2, calciferol. So that is not
absorbed as well. And what unique cholecalciferol, which is
vitamin D3 and luckily, you can take this as a supplement, which
can be taken orally. I recommend vitamin D3 with K2 and at least
2,000 unit to 5,000 unit a day at this point. But you need to
probably get your vitamin D3 levels checked. And how you do
that? Just a blood draw the same way you would check for
cholesterol and blood sugar, but get that checked and tell me
what your levels are, because your level should be around mid
40s to mid 50s. Okay, and make sure that you're taking vitamin
D3 and K2 because it's better absorbed in that compound. So
check out our store at ednomore.com where we have the
vitamin D3, K2, that is compounded so it's easily
absorbed. It's 100% potent because not all vitamins are
made the same. So if you're taking vitamin over the counter,
make sure that it has a certification by USP that it's
been checked. But you also have to know too, if you're taking
it, you need to get your blood levels checked. Because
sometimes you're taking it but your body's not absorbing it,
then it may not be a waste of your time and your money. So get
your blood levels checked and oftentime you need to increase
the dose. Sometimes we give patient 5,000 units a day,
sometimes 10,000 units of vitamin D3 a day. I myself take
10,000 units of D3 a day at this point to get my levels up into
the mid 50s.
So having said that, I hope this is helpful, that you should get
your vitamin D3 levels checked, and the blood work for that is
vitamin D25 is the way that you could have your doctors check in
the blood work. So D25 and that you're taking vitamin D, because
all of us are deficient in that at this point. It's just so easy
to help with your erectile function by supplementing with
vitamin D3 checkout our stored at ednomore for the vitamin D3
K2. Let me know what your levels are. Let me know what do you
