Does TRT lower immune system? B-12 / mic to raise immune function?

Im just curious on thoughts as to whether or not you believe testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can lower your immune system. I know years ago cycling gear when i would go off i would always get a cold or something to that affect. But ive read that testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) raises immune funstion if done correctly? How is this possible? Do you all recommend adding some B-12 or that MIC stuff to the shot to help with immune function at all? I know B-12 is relatively cheap but the MIC with lipotropics look sreally expensive when ive seen it for salke on the net and looks like you would need to inject like every other day with both. Wouldnt work out too well for me since right now just doing 1 injection per week and probably going to stick on that path for awhile. Thansk for any input and opinions ahead of time!

TRT is putting your body more in line with there it should be. So having correct T levels im sure drives or has a hand in other systems including your immune systems. When you were cycling you were really throwing your body out of whack and as we all know the negative side effects of cycling. But at far as B12 and other vitamins I guess you would have to know your symptoms and levels before starting anything. Having to much vitamins can cause real harm or you simple piss it out.

It shouldn't, as said it fixes your body. Take Zinc lozenges, B-12 or most importantly Glutamine and your immune system should be very tough.

healthy levels of testosterone support immune system strength, estrogen although, can cause an over response for inflammatory issues. This is why women tend to be more prone to diseases than men.

I used to get colds now and then every few months. Since I started exercise, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and a "healthier" diet I haven't gotten sick once. (Since March of this year) - I am taking probiotics, multi vitamins and fish oil daily which help as well. Sometimes I feel my throat a bit itchy as if I'm going to get a cold but guess what? The next day is all gone so my body is fighting back to get rid of whatever it's trying to get me sick

Yeah...I'm confused about colds. Some guys say juice helps avoid them, but others say it suppresses your immune system....?
