================== ARTICLE START ==================

Vitamins, minerals and other nutrients are essential to the

development and performance of the human reproductive system.

Nutrition also plays a role in the development and maturation

of the reproductive system through childhood and adolescence,

and can affect the endocrine system, which regulates the

hormones that rule the functions of the reproductive system.

Nutrition can affect fertility and fetal development, as well.

Striving each day to consume the standard recommended daily

intake levels of the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients

that the body needs is an important part of the good health and

proper functioning of the reproductive system.

The nutrients that a child consumes while growing up can affect

the developing reproductive system. Zinc, for example, is

essential to the development of the reproductive organs

themselves. A deficiency in zinc can result in significantly

delayed sexual maturation. Zinc also serves in the regulation

of male hormones and has a role in prostate functions and sperm

production. Iodine helps to regulate thyroid function, which in

turn helps to regulate growth and body weight. Body weight has

to do with the onset of puberty, which will not begin until the

appropriate threshold of body weight and fat has been crossed.

The endocrine glands secrete hormones, and hormones are

essential to the functioning of the reproductive system. Thus,

endocrine gland health is a precursor to mature reproductive

functioning and health. While several nutrients are directly

associated with the production of hormones, like manganese,

which serves to maintain the production of sex hormones, many

others act as cofactors to a variety of complicated chemical

reactions that carry out the tasks of the reproductive system.

Proper nutrition is essential in fetal development, as well.

Folic acid, for example, can serve to prevent serious birth

defects by reducing the incidence of neural tube defects, such

as the type that cause spinal bifida. However, this defect

occurs so early in fetal development that at the point at which

it occurs, the woman has yet to find out that she is pregnant.

Therefore, it is best for any woman of childbearing age to be

especially careful to get enough folic acid each day.

The vitamins that make up the Vitamin B complex have a primary

role in red blood cell production. The developing fetus gets

all nourishment and oxygen via the mother’s blood stream.

Therefore, making sure to keep red blood cell production up to

par is important to the reproductive system, particularly

during pregnancy. The nutrients received by the developing

fetus will affect every aspect of his or her being.

Proper nutrition is essential to each part and every stage of

the reproductive system, from development to maturation to the

creation and nurturing of new life. It can be difficult,

particularly at the rapid pace of life today, to get the full

amount of each and every vitamin, mineral and other nutrient

that serves to support the reproductive system. However,

nutritional supplements can offer a safe and reliable way to

achieve your dietary goals, when used with care and attention

to standard dosage amounts. It is important to remember that

too much can be as damaging as too little.
