Had a friend say to me the other day that everytime she visits I have a cold. Wondering if this is from being hypothyroid and if so any suggestions on how to raise my immune system.

I take a big tablespoon of camu camu powder everyday and when I'm on vacation I take the Emergen C and I still catch colds. I'm just getting over one that I caught on a cruise.
