Do Supplements stop Immune system to respond?

mhameedi · Feb 28, 2017

All good in the brotherhood.... I have a query... I am using NO3 Chrome at the moment for Arginine + 3 tablets of Omega 3 on daily basis with extender. Question is they will do good... But am I going to be addicted to them, secondly I have heard using regularly supplements will let immune system stop it's own production in the body as it gets the message that supplements are coming on their own (heard it somewhere). I personally don't want that to happen as if in future I want to stop these supplements my immune system will not produce them afterwards and my body will lack them.

Your replies will appreciated in this matter

So no one has any idea about this query?

Sometimes things slip through the cracks, sorry my Brother. My option on supplements is rather limited but I will tell you what I do know. Messing around with the bodies chemistry is not a good idea in most cases as the body knows what it needs and produces that. With any supplement you will want to really want to search high and low for user feedback. I know that some men can tolerate Titan Pills while, occasionally, some do not. I will move this into the main forum for a few days so you get more replies.

I was always recommended, by a friend of mine who has her PhD in nutritional science- the average person should be on supplement stacks for no more than 30 days and then do a month with the absolute minimal such as fish oil and a multivitamin if need be.

You don't actually appear to be taking anything that would cause an addiction or a suppressed immune response. Of course with any supplements, it's preferred to get them from nutritional sources.

If you do have worries, it would be with the NO3 chrome because it is more than just arginine. It may be best to find an L-arginine supplement that you are OK with. The ingredients in NO3 chrome basically has sort of a boosting effect on the NOS activity of arginine so if you aren't putting this too a use (I.e. working out or something similar) it's not really a cost effective benefit.

As far as immune responses, if these are the only supplements you are taking, both are beneficial to immune health. Arginine-derived nitric oxide plays a major role in inflammation and immunity. I'm not sure where you heard about negative effects on the immune system but it could be something along the line of high doses of nitric oxide having an inhibitory effect on T-cell mitogenesis which theoretically wouldn't be an issue with an actual L-arginine supplement. It can also be noted that arginine enhances the phagocytic ability of certain immune cells too, increasing their protective response. Omega 3's are already well know in their ability to help battle inflammation but they also have been shown to enhance immune response by increasing and activating a number of immune cells in the body, increasing a person's ability to fight infection. I should stop here before I start giving an immunology lecture lol but if there are any questions about this I would be happy to take a stab at them.

L-arginine ALONE has not been shown to have dependent characteristics not has Omega 3 fatty acids. This does not take into account consumption of these supplements with other chemicals such as caffeine. Arginine and Omega 3 fatty acids can both be obtained through food consumption.

I hope I made a slightly complicated question a little more understandable.

I will strongly advice you stick to your routine and throw away those supplements. Ever since I joined this forum, I have never seen anyone who made huge gains using supplements even though you intend combining it with your routine. You will gain if you stick to your routine and use the right amount of intensity.

You have made it more understandable. I would love to have you here still helping the Brotherhood, the more knowledge the better!
