Find the answers to your most commonly asked questions below.

Q: What are transfer factors?
A: Transfer factors aren’t vitamins, minerals, or herbs—substances that add nutrients to the body. Transfer factors are molecules that actually transfer immune memory and knowledge from one immune system to another.

Q: When were transfer factors discovered? 
A: In 1949, Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence, a New York University immunologist, determined that an immune response could be transferred from a donor to a recipient through a white blood cell extract. He concluded that the extract contained a factor capable of transferring the donor’s immunity information to the recipient and named the substance 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 a new category of immune system support products. 4Life’s commitment to transfer factor research has progressively raised the standard for modern-day immune system supplementation.

Q: What research has been done on transfer factors?
A: In the 50 years since Dr. Lawrence’s pioneering work on transfer factors, an estimated $40 million has been spent researching transfer factors and hundreds of scientific papers have been published documenting their effectiveness. Recent independent studies report that 4Life Transfer Factor and 4Life Transfer Factor Plus®Tri-Factor Formulas boost Natural Killer cell activity a remarkable 283% and 437%* when your body needs it.

Q: How does 4Life Transfer Factor support my immune system?
A: Transfer factors are some of the most unique molecules in your body. They carry important messages to immune cells all over the body, helping them fight harder and more effectively to keep you well. Transfer factors provide intelligence to the immune system in three very important ways: Recognize. Transfer factors help immune cells identify invading germs and other problems more quickly. Respond. Transfer factors help speed up the immune system’s response to an invader after it’s been identified. Remember. Transfer factors lend a hand in remembering the specific makeup of each germ your immune system encounters, so the next time it comes around, your body knows exactly what it is, and what to do.

Q: Why does my immune system need support?
A: When your immune system works hard, you’re able to work and play hard. But when immune system function is impaired by too little sleep, environmental hazards, poor diet, or a high-stress lifestyle, it can’t do its job. You should care about your immune system, because it cares for you.

Q: How can 4Life Transfer Factor support healthy energy levels? 
A: 4Life Transfer Factor supports healthy energy levels by promoting the effectiveness of your immune system. When your immune system is working as it should, you have plenty of energy to do the things you love. Plus, the more energy you have, the faster your body responds to any new problem it encounters.

Q: If I eat healthy foods, why do I need 4Life Transfer Factor?
A:Healthy foods provide your body with important nutrients to help keep it strong. Immune cells definitely need this nutrition, but they also need education. That’s what 4Life Transfer Factor provides—the education and information to help immune cells know what they should be doing to keep the immune system running at peak performance.

Q: What is Transferceutical™Science?
A: Transferceutical Science encompasses the research and development of products that educate the immune system to recognize, respond to, and remember potential threats. Transferceutical Science and products were pioneered by 4Life Research.

Q: How is 4Life Transfer Factor different from other products? 
A: The biggest key to overall immune system health is balance—boosting when needed and calming down when needed. Almost all immune system products on the market today (vitamins, minerals, and herbs) have one thing in common: they provide temporary nutrition. However, the best long-term solution to an active, balanced immune response is information. The way that 4Life Transfer Factor works with your body's immune system is completely unique. It teaches your immune system to recognize, respond to, and remember potential invaders. Looking beyond nutrition to information is a profound paradigm shift, and 4Life Transfer Factor is the only product available that leverages this powerful paradigm.

Q: Where does 4Life Transfer Factor come from?
A: Nature has perfected a way to help keep its young healthy. A mother passes on vital immune know-how (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. Using patented and patent-pending processes, 4Life extracts transfer factors from cow colostrum and chicken egg yolk to provide a wide range of immune system support. 4Life obtains nanofraction molecules from cow colostrum using a nano filter. Chickens and cows live outside, leaving them exposed to a variety of germs, which their immune systems must battle in order to stay healthy. Both transfer factors and nanofraction molecules can be safely transferred to humans, making cow colostrum and chicken egg yolk excellent sources for immune system support.

Q: What is NanoFactor™? 
A: NanoFactor is 4Life’s exclusive extract of nanofraction molecules from cow colostrum. NanoFactor provides essential intuition to the immune system, so immune cells know when to act, how to act, and when to rest.

Q: What is Tri-Factor®Formula? 
A: 4Life Transfer Factor Tri-Factor Formula brings together the intelligence of 4Life Transfer Factor and the intuition of NanoFactor, to regulate, boost, and balance the immune system…according to what your body needs.

Q: Does 4Life have patents for their transfer factor products?
A:Yes. 4Life has obtained U.S. patents for its transfer factor products from cow colostrum and chicken egg yolk. The extraction process for transfer factors from chicken egg yolks is protected by U.S. patent 6,468,534;exclusive combination techniques for transfer factors from cow colostrum and chicken egg yolks are protected by U.S. patent 6,866,868.

Targeted Transfer Factors

A Breakthrough in Heart Health
“Targeted Transfer Factors”

Recently, the prestigious journal, Scientific American, reported the results of a study on a breakthrough in the understanding of heart disease. For the past few years, a number of scientists havebeen re-evaluating the root cause of heart disease. Health professionals throughout the world have been concerned and confused by the increase in the incidence of heart disease. The article in Scientific American authored by Dr. Paul Libby from Harvard University explained the new understanding of heart disease.

During the past few decades, the general public has experienced a continuous increase in heart disease in spite of an increase in exercise, nutritional consumption and a decrease in fat consumption. The haunting question has been why? Last year, more than one million people died of heart disease. It is estimated that more than 60 million people in the United States have some form of cardiovascular problem. The fact that 40% of individuals that experience heart attacks do not have high cholesterol levels and exhibit no symptoms of circulatory problems is an unexplained phenomenon in cardiovascular health. Underscoring the seriousness of this problem was the discovery of how early in life heart disease begins. In a recent study of autopsies of individuals that died in automobile accidents, it was found that the majority of 16-34 year-olds suffered from the beginning stages of heart disease.

Recently, studies have revealed the true cause of heart disease. This discovery explains the increase in heart disease over the past few decades in spite of all the efforts to reduce heart disease. Research has found that the universally accepted hypothesis for the cause of heart disease has been wrong. Cardiologists throughout the world have been wrong on the cause of heart disease and wrong on how to address heart disease. It was once believed that over a period of time cholesterol clogged the artery like a drain becomes clogged. This study found that heart disease actually begins with an immune system dysfunction.

Scientists found that there are two basic pathways through which the immune system becomes involved in a cascade of events that lead to heart disease. One of these pathways begins with an infection in the lining of the artery. There are six known pathogens that are found within the lining of the artery that may be involved in triggering an initial immune system response. The second pathway involves modified cholesterol entering the lining of the artery. In response to these pathways, the immune system creates a cascade of inflammatory responses that initiate the process that leads to heart disease.

The Harvard University researcher discovered the greatest danger was not cholesterol building up inside the artery channel but cholesterol building up inside the lining of the artery. The cholesterol actually explodes into the channel of the artery from the lining, often without notice and in seemingly healthy individuals with a dysfunctional immune system being the primary agent of disease. Scientists found that even individuals with strong immune systems in other areas can suffer from this condition.

In 1997, David Lisonbee had a theory that heart disease was related to a dysfunctional immune system. In 1998, he commissioned Dr. Hennen to initiate a research project that would address the connection between the immune system and heart disease. In order for Dr. Hennen to achieve this goal, he had to take the science of transfer factors to a level that had never been achieved before by any other scientists. In August of 2002, all of his extensive research paid off in the unveiling of TF Cardio.

In order to apply this breakthrough to cardiovascular health, these researchers had to develop new biotechnology. Transfer factors were bio-engineered to target pathogens hiding in the lining of arteries. These pathogens are believed to create the cascade of events leading to inflammation and heart disease. Also, the transfer factors have the ability to balance the immune system in the lining of the arteries. It appears that a balanced and functional immune system is a key to the health of the cardiovascular system.

Transfer factors contain inducers and suppressors that work together to balance or modulate the immune system. It is believed that the suppressors in transfer factors will reduce inflammation. Inflammation is a cause of some cancers, certain types of heart disease and other health conditions. Although targeted transfer factors form the core ingredients that make this formulation effective and exceptional, several other important nutrients have been included in order to address other issues in the health of the cardiovascular system. Nutrients such as red rice brand extract, CoQ10, and arginine havebeen included in order to provide the best overall natural approach to a healthy cardiovascular system.

Research has indicated that red rice brand extract can be beneficial in maintaining healthy levels of cholesterol. CoQ10 is an enzyme that is involved in the production of cellular energy in every cell in your body. CoQ10 interacts with other natural chemicals in the mitochondria. Every cell in your body must have energy to stay alive and properly perform its function. The heart is a muscle that is constantly working and under pressure. A great deal of energy is expended through the heart muscle. More than 4,000 studies have been conducted on CoQ10 in conjunction with a healthy heart. Arginine is involved in the production and regulation of nitric oxide. Each time the heart beats, the miles of circulatory system contract and relax. The process is very important to the delivery of blood to every cell in the body. Nitric oxide is chemically involved in this process. Magnesium and potassium are included in this formula. These minerals are involved in the body’s attempt to maintain healthy blood pressure. Copper and Zinc are included because of their influence on the immune system and in maintaining healthy levels of “good” cholesterol or HDL. Selenium, folic acid, vitamins B-12, C, E, and the amino acid lysine are included to decrease lipid oxidation, decrease platelet aggregation, reduce homocysteine levels and affect a number of other important body functions.

Heart disease is the number one killer. Many people live compromised lives because of an unhealthy cardiovascular system. A great number of individuals that experience sudden heart attacks do not have high cholesterol levels or any signs of heart problems. Our knowledge of nutrition and good health has greatly increased in the past few years. Many individuals are taking a proactive approach to health.

4Life Research has established itself as the leader in cardiovascular health by being the first scientists in the world to discover and patent this new technology. Presently, this is the only technology that utilizes a nutritional pathway in addressing the most recent discovery reported by researchers from Harvard University.

Warning: We do not encourage anyone to replace traditional treatment for nutritional cardiovascular products. Do not delay in alerting your physician to any symptoms of heart disease because time is a very important factor in saving your life. We do encourage you to be proactive in strengthening your immune system and cardiovascular system through exercise, proper eating habits and through supplementation of nutrition.
