hey i been lookin around and im always seein they say dont take echinacea when useing steroids.. I cant find a reson as to why , i see they say Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) lower immunsystem and i know echinacea highers it. so shouldent this be a good thing. im asking because i think i got a chest cold commin on and i want to take echinacea but when i see dont use with Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) now it worryin me... wut do u guy think? . and is it a big deal to take it with aas?? :eyes:
 
The main reason sources cite echinacea as contraindicated is because it supposedly inhibit's the CYP-AE4 enzyme which is one of the same enzymes used to breakdown certain drugs, AS's being some of them. So, at most, you'd just have to lower the dosage on orals...

There are MUCH better immunity supplements to take, actually.
*GLUTAMINE (up to 75 g's/day)
*NAC
*B-Complex
*Flax oil
*Garlic
*6g's/day of Vit.C (esterfied)
*Olive Leaf extract
 
Try Golden Seal along with plenty of Vit-C, honey is good as well. I would say make a Hot Tottie (Burbon with honey or good Scotch, but you are on cycle, lol!). Golden Seal is an herb found at most vitamin stores. Also i saw an article where it is now being studied that echinacea may promote certain kinds of cancer. It isn't the best product for the digestive and stomach either.

I seem to have a higher immune system on test.

THe best imune system enhancer i've ever tried is colostrum. ANd it mixes well with AAS.
