Does elevated Testosterone weaken the immune system?

**zinny** · 12-18-2007, 12:11 AM

I read that boosting testosterone levels may weaken the immune system. Is that correct?

**Dizz28** · 12-18-2007, 12:22 AM

AAS are known to weaken the immune system to some extent, yes

**zinny** · 12-18-2007, 01:05 AM

Like 1000mg vitamin C tablets or something like that?

**Dizz28** · 12-18-2007, 01:11 AM

Vit C is def an option. there are a few other herbal teas and pills that you can take to boost your immune system also. not an expert on this subject so i'll leave it to someone that has done a lot of research on this...

Bump for more input

Supplementing with Glutamine has been shown to strengthen the immune system

You immune system will always lower with more AAS.

but on the other hand, you will get tons of RBC so after your cycle, plus some oestrogen.

Recovering from AAS related Immune deficiency is not an issue.

I have no real facts or anything but I'm going to chime in with looking for some more information. Seems like when I stop taking AAS I always get sick. When I'm on AAS I'm strong like bull, no sickness. Happen to anyone else?

Vitamin C
Echineca Root

will solve your problem

**SuperK** · 12-18-2007, 07:16 PM

I agree. When I'm on it, no colds. When I'm off it seems like I'm sick every other week. Just my 2 cents.

**Atomini** · 12-18-2007, 08:15 PM

I heard deca actually boosts the immune system.

**reppedout1** · 12-18-2007, 08:50 PM

as soon as my buddy ends his cycle and starts his pct which is adex and nolva he gets strepped throat,happened his last 2 cycles....repped

I'm not sure but i think they give aas to aids patients and what not for wasting AND immune system. My friends brother is an aids patient and he's on test at the least.

If i was going to take vit C tabs, I noticed they have them as big as 1000mgs and tell you to take one daily. Can i take one before bed and one when i wake? YOu think that would be ok?

Guys roids strenghten your immune system. That`s why they r given to HIV positive people. The problem is when you stop them- thecortisol levels is high and your natty test is low. Then your immune system is lowered.

Thats why when I went to get my test levels checked at the doctor. I told him I had no sex drive and at the time I was sick so I told him that too. And he mumbled they're probally linked together or something like that.
