I have seen some atletles that when are on a tren cycle , develops genital warts due to hpv (hpv is a very prevalent infection, but needs a low immune funcion to develop sintoms - warts).
.

Or maybe they just forgot to wrap their tool...lol

i read many studies showing anabolics weakens the immune system.....i used to get sick all the time when on...i started using some echinacea with golden seal and it has helped a bunch...vitamin c is another good supplement to throw in there to help keep ya feeling good

 

[brandonp005]

Needto....how about putting something together with a blend of some yellow root, echinacea, golden seal, and vitamin c

Call it NTFG "Needtofeelgood"......The Cycling Mans Vitamin! That way I can eliminate most of my pills!

If you stay on for too long it does affect your immune system somewhat. I've seen some difference over the years of lowered immune response on occations but it gets back to normal when I lower dosages to about 300mg of test or lower.
In the long run though I would say that steroids does affect the immune system but not as much as people making it out to be and if you just cycle then go off it shouldnt really be of any concern.
And yes, vit C helps a lot if taken daily.

so would there be anything to take along side to keep this from happening?

Yes there will be. I am in the process of making a stack for this. The products to take would be

1. Vicodene TM


2. GEAR


3 dx7 or a good multi


I will of course do a write up and explanation as to why when the time comes.

Yep. That am maybe a little extra Vit C is the best thing you can do.

people underate vitamin D also.

especially in eastern medicine they believe in getting sun to strengthen the immune system also

does low testosterone not have a negative effect on the immune system?

not directly, women have stronger immune systems because of lower test levels. but i think a male with low test levels will be more stressed/depressed and will have lower immune function because of that.
