While studying tuberculosis in the late 1940s, Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence discovered that the immune competence of a donor could be transferred to a naive recipient by using low molecular weight extracts obtained from white blood cells. Dr. Lawrence called these small molecule extracts transfer factor (TF). If the thymus gland can be compared to grammar school and prep school, transfer factor can be compared to collegiate and graduate level training for the immune system. Scientists later found transfer factors to be universally effective, regardless of the differences between the species of the donor and recipient. This aspect of transfer factors is partly explained by this core scientific belief: the more essential a material or structure is to living organisms, the more common it is to see this material or structure throughout living systems. Transfer factors are essential components of even the most primitive immune systems.

One basic principle of the immune system is that it must be able to respond quickly and specifically, while not exhausting itself by over responding and attacking normal tissue. Transfer factor preparations consist of three identifiable fractions named by their discovered effects on the immune system. They are inducer, antigen specific and suppressor fractions. More recent understanding of immune function would rename the suppressor fraction as the regulator factor. The TF inducer fraction triggers a general state of readiness in the immune system. The antigen-speific fraction is an array of critical tags used by the immune system to identify a host of enemy microbes. Meanwhile, the regulator fraction keeps the immune system from focusing all its strength on a defeated infection and ignoring new microbial threats; it is responsible for controlling immune overreactions that can cause autoimmune disorders. Each fraction (inducer, antigen specific, and regulator) improves one or more aspects of the adaptive ability of the immune system.

Wikipedia define Transfer factors as “immune molecules that cause antigen-specific cell-mediated immunity, primarily delayed hypersensitivity and the production of lymphokines, as well as binding to the antigens themselves. They have a molecular weight of approximately 5000 Daltons and are composed entirely of amino acids. Transfer factors were discovered by Henry Sherwood Lawrence.”

Transfer Factor molecules are completely unique. They contain information that can be transferred from one immune system to another. That means that your body can borrow the immune education it needs to Recognize, Respond to, and Remember unwanted threats. 4Life Transferceutical™ Products truly provide the ultimate in immune system support.

4Life Transferceutical™ Products are unique, patented and cutting-edge—improve immune system function by up to 437%. A preliminary scientific test suggests that 4Life Transfer Factor® Tri-Factor® Formula strengthens your immune system guard by increasing the number of protective IgA antibodies.

When it comes to immune system research, 4Life took the lead in 1998 and never let go. We’ve created a new category of immune system research called Transferceutical ™Science. Our science is backed up with multiple patents – and studies that show a record-breaking 437% boost in immune cell activity.
