Carbolin 19 and Mono?

Nutrition

I was diagnosed with mononucleosis last week, though thankfully I seem to have a pretty minor case of it (I have annoying night sweats, and occasionally a tinge of a sore throat, but otherwise feel 98% fine). I’m working out only about twice a week, even though I feel fine and my strength hasn’t suffered at all, as I don’t want to overdo it and overtax my system while it’s trying to fight the mono. My doctor said working out is fine as long as I don’t feel like I’m getting run down and overtaxing myself.

I was thinking of taking Carbolin 19 in order to try to prevent any muscle loss while I try to fight this thing. Is there any reason not to? I know it raises cAMP – is there any harm in doing that (or in any other aspect of the supplement) when it comes to affecting the immune system one way or the other?

Thanks.

Well, you have to ask yourself if you want to trust a bunch of guys on the internet about something like your health. We arent talking a .87 percent decrease in bodyfat here, you have a serious illness.

Obviously you can do whatever you want, but I would maybe take some information on Forskolin into your doctor, let him/her read it and then let them make an educated decision. Let them see what its systemic effects are and if taking it would have any impact on getting over this illness.

I certainly don’t think that Carbolin19 is going to be dangerous, and I would probably take it. But… The body is a strange machine and you just never know sometimes.

You cant get stronger on a hospital bed.
