How 4Life Transfer Factor^® Works: A Capsule’s Journey through the Body

What are transfer factors?

Unlike many supplements you find in health food stores, transfer factors aren’t vitamins, minerals, or herbs (substances that add nutrients to your body). Transfer factors are molecules that transfer immune health memory and knowledge from one entity to another. Transfer Factor science is ground-breaking innovation for immune health support.*

When were transfer factors discovered?

In 1949, Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence, a New York University immunologist, determined that an immune health response could be transferred from a donor to a recipient through a white blood cell extract. He concluded that these extracts contained a “factor” capable of transferring the donor’s immunity information to the recipient. Dr. Lawrence subsequently coined the term “transfer factor.”

In 1998, 4Life Founders David and Bianca Lisonbee licensed the patent to extract transfer factors from cow colostrum. The introduction of 4Life Transfer Factor^® Classic opened the door to new immune health support products. 4Life’s commitment to transfer factor research has progressively raised the standard for modern-day immune health supplementation.*

Where does 4Life Transfer Factor come from?

Nature has perfected a way to pass immune health information from mother to baby. A mother passes on vital immune health knowledge (gathered from her own experiences) in the first critical days of life. Mammals pass on this information through the mother’s first milk, or colostrum, while other animals pass the information through egg yolk. Transfer factors and nanofraction molecules are important components of this education, acting as nature’s first supplements.

Chickens and cows live outside, exposing them to a variety of germs, which their immunity must battle in order to stay healthy. Transfer factors and nanofraction molecules can be safely transferred to humans, making cow colostrum and chicken egg yolk excellent sources for immune health support.*

Does 4Life have patents for their 4Life Transfer Factor products?

Yes. The extraction process for transfer factors from chicken egg yolk is protected by U.S. Patent 6,468,534. Exclusive combination techniques for transfer factors from cow colostrum and chicken egg yolk are protected by U.S. Patent 6,866,868.
