Helping your Immune System Recognize, Respond and Remember,

For years, the nutritional industry has been touting the benefits of vitamins, minerals and herbs in the fight to keep the immune system strong and vigilant. But recently, science has uncovered a molecule that has the ability to teach and train the immune system, something that cannot be done by vitamins and herbs. This miracle molecule is called transfer factor.

Your immune system’s ability to protect your body is both instinctive and learned—in other words, it fights invasions with both innate and acquired responses. Along with passive defenses like skin, stomach acid and mucus, the innate immune system also contains active immune response mechanisms that include Natural Killer, or NK cells. Like all innate front line defense agents, NK cells do not need prior exposure to an infectious microbe in order to act. They simply recognize foreign cells and go to work—but they can be instructed to work better.

The immune system is a complex group of organs, cells and molecules that act together to protect the body against foreign invaders. Your health depends on the immune system's ability to recognize and then withstand or destroy these invaders. The immune system is a crucial component to staying healthy and feeling good. Unfortunately, even the strongest innate immune system can’t handle all the various microbes we encounter daily. That’s where acquired immunity comes in. It learns new skills and builds new tools to deal with ever-increasing microbial invaders. But for this system to adapt for attack, it first must recognize a threat before it can build the tools to fight. No wonder you sometimes feel under the weather for more than a few days. The good news is that after the acquired immune system builds the tools for a specific infection; it remembers it and is ready for the next attack.

Well, you can—with Transfer Factor. Simply stated, transfer factors are tiny molecules that are able to convey immunity information from one entity to another to educate naïve cells about a present or potential danger along with a plan for action. Although the mostly notable function of these smart molecules is to speed up the recognition phase of an infection making the duration of an illness much shorter, transfer factors also have the ability to suppress an over active immune system. All said, transfer factors have the ability to balance out the function of your immune system, whether it needs to increase in function or be reduced in the case of auto-immune disorders.

4Life Transfer Factor™ and Transfer Factor Plus^®were tested for their ability to increase Natural Killer Cell (NK) activity. The researchers used peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from human volunteers. Test results showed that 4Life Transfer Factor™ boosted NK cell activity 103% above normal immune response without supplementation, more than two times higher than the next highest product. The study also showed that Transfer Factor Plus™ increased the NK cell activity 248% above normal immune response without supplementation, or about five times higher than any of the other previously tested products.

As seen in the 2003 Physicians Desk Reference

“ I have been researching health topics and formulating supplements for many years. Transfer Factor provides support to our bodies unlike anything this industry has ever seen. Our Transfer Factor Plus formula adds two proprietary formulations for total and superior immune support for people of all ages.”

SUCCESS STORIES

"I’ve been taking Transfer Factor Plus everyday for the last couple of months and occasionally, the TF Immune Spray. I have found improvement in my total well-being. As a runner, I have felt improvement in my performance. I have less fatigue, improved circulation and better oxygen intake."
—Yafet T.

"My previous job required me to travel quite a bit. I essentially would get sick in September and be sick until March, off and on. I have been taking Transfer Factor Plus for the past three years. This has been nothing but good for me. I can’t believe the difference in the way I feel."
—Rick C.

"Due to the stress and demands of my job I developed tension headaches in the back of my head several years ago. I also developed sinus-like conditions about six to seven years ago; sneezing, runny nose and nasal congestion were common. I also had aches and stiffness in my lower back. I felt I needed an immune system boost. I took a combination of Transfer Factor and Transfer Factor Plus. After two to three months both my tension headache and sinus problems had improved tremendously and I also noticed improvement in my lower back. I was able to just get up and go; I had no problem straightening up my lower back. It is amazing how a properly maintained immune system can make you feel better. I continue to take Transfer Factor daily for maintenance. I feel more alert and energetic. I used to yawn a lot during the day, now very seldom. I don’t pant as much during a game of squash. The joints on my fingers don’t feel as tight as before. Transfer Factor and Transfer Factor Plus have definitely helped my immune system. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone."
