On cycle and getting sick

[cj111]

Question, if you're on cycle whatever it is your doing say it includes test, is your immune system any stronger? Does the chances of getting a cold or whatever decrease or anything like that?

Thanks

I have never seen any research to prove it hurts immune system at all.
I think a male with low levels would be more prone.

One reference that comes to mind....Brenu et al. 2011. Recreational use of AAS can impair immune system function.

I'll see if I can find this reference (or others) again. Might be later tonight or tmrw due to clinic demands today.

Reason I ask I used to get sick all the time, probably once a month.. atleast.. I was always sick. Not like flu sick but runny nose sneezing blah blah all that shit.. About 4 weeks into my cycle and I haven't even felt a LITTLE bit of sickness.. Might have something to do with the diet
