Our health and the health of our companion animals depend on a strong and balanced immune system. An under active immune system will fail to protect us while an overactive immune system leads to allergies and auto immune disease.

Newborn humans and animals have naïve immune systems and would have little chance to survive if nature had not come up with a way to educate these naïve immune systems very, very quickly. This education begins with the first meal of colostrum, the first milk produced by the mother. This first milk is actually a natural immunization cocktail made up of large proteins as well as small messenger molecules carrying specific immune information. The small messenger molecules are called Transfer Factors.

They have the ability to transfer immune information from one species to another without causing unwanted side effects. Transfer Factors are extracted from cow milk or avian eggs using a patented process. Regular colostrum does contain lower levels of transfer factor. Only 4Life Research has the exclusive patent on the process to extract only the transfer factor from the milk or the egg yolks. This results in a concentrated and purified product.

Transfer Factors play several roles: they help to stimulate the immune system to recognize and react to a threat, but they also have the job to calm down the immune response once the threat is over. They can also help to balance an overreaction to harmless agents like pollen or reaction against the body's own cells.

A newborn mammal needs a fast immune education, since its entire immune system is naïve. Like all cells in our bodies, cells responsible for immune health die and are replaced by new, naïve ones. These new cells must also receive immune information and taking Transfer Factor orally can accomplish that quickly and safely.

The Physician Desk Reference is considered the standard prescription drug reference in the US and can be found in practically every doctor's office, hospital and pharmacy. Very few nutritional supplements have been included in the PDR. Transfer Factor Cardio and Transfer Factor Plus are among them, which makes it very easy for patients to discuss the use of Transfer Factors with their physicians.

For example under Summary of Research the PDR states for Transfer Factor Plus: "Transfer Factors have been shown to be immune modulators effective in providing immune system support for people with cancer, immune disorders and infections."

Veterinarians are also recognizing the power of Transfer Factors for their patients. A US veterinary magazine DVM Newsmagazine featured an article in their February 2003 issue "Transfer Factor: Long-awaited next step in immunotherapy" by Kenneth L. Marcella, DVM, outlining the impact of Transfer Factor on the immune system by either stimulating it or toning it down. The rapid onset of immune response within 24 hours makes Transfer Factors a powerful tool to combat disease in animals large and small. Without any unwanted side effects.

Note: If you or your animal companion are suffering from an illness, you should consult a medical doctor or veterinarian to determine if Transfer Factor is appropriate to use.
