For more than a decade, 4Life (the immune system company) has led the industry in immune system discovery and innovation. Where did it all begin? With the revolutionary molecules in your own body.

TRANSFER FACTORS

In 1996, 4Life Chief Executive Officer David Lisonbee came across a patent for the extraction of transfer factors. Transfer factors are molecules found within the immune systems of all mammals and birds. Dubbed “the memory molecules,” transfer factors serve as important components of the immune system throughout your entire life.

In 1998, 4Life licensed the patent to extract transfer factors from cow colostrum. In the years that followed, 4Life launched new products, stabilized transfer factors in liquid form, patented the extraction of transfer factors from chicken egg yolks, and combined our two sources for a truly synergistic formula.

NANOFRACTIONS

Scientists have known that smaller molecules than transfer factors existed within colostrum, but they never determined if they had any immune activity. In 2007, David Lisonbee and the 4Life Research and Development team isolated these nanofraction molecules, tested them, and determined their potential to support the immune system.

Nanofractions are low-weight molecules found in the immune systems of certain mammals and birds. They function as part of the “command and control” network of the immune system.

Transfer factors and nanofractions transfer immune memory, knowledge, and wisdom from one entity to another. The two most abundant and safest sources for transfer factors and nanofractions are cow colostrum and chicken egg yolks. Because these molecules aren’t species-specific, we can benefit from the knowledge gained by these animals during their lifetimes by transferring that knowledge from their immune cells to ours. 

A REAL-LIFE ANALOGY

Let's use a real-life analogy: The central air conditioning system in your home recognizes when it becomes warm and rallies help to turn the air on before the temperature becomes too hot. The digital thermostat makes fine-tuned adjustments-how long to keep the air on, how cold the air should be, when to turn the air off-to make sure the temperature is just right.

Your immune system works the same way. When your body encounters a problem, 4Life Transfer Factor possesses intelligence. Just like the air conditioning system, it recognizes the problem and issues the call to action. NanoFactor has the intuition to make fine-tuned adjustments as a digital thermostat would, sending out immune cells where and when they’re needed, and calling them back when the threat is over.

Both intelligence and intuition are needed for optimal immune system response.

HEROIC IMMUNE SYSTEM

WHAT ARE TRANSFER FACTORS AND HOW CAN THEY HELP YOU?

Talk about strong… no matter what your immune system needs, Tri-Factor Formula delivers. That’s an immune system with some impressive muscles!

Studies have proven that when your body needs it, Tri-Factor Formula provides great boosting ability. It dramatically increases Natural Killer cell activity by 437 percent—those immune cells on the front lines—and helps you continue enjoying optimal health. Studies have also shown that Tri-Factor Formula, with the intuition of NanoFactor^™, provides great balancing support. When your immune system responds to false signals and becomes overactive, Tri-Factor Formula can help the immune system calm down. And it does it significantly better than our competitors’ products.

Transfer Factors are small molecules that intelligently regulate immune system activities such as recognition, response and memory of foreign invaders. Transfer factors increase, decrease, and educates helper T Cells, Natural Killer (NK) cells, and Immunoglobulin Antibodies (IgA) according to your needs. They are found in the bodies of all higher animals. They are transferred from a mother who breast feeds to her new born infant to support the infant's immune system.

Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence discovered he could transfer the successful immune response of a person who was exposed to a foreign invader by transferring the donor's dialyzable leukocytes to a naive recipient in the 1940s. He called this process the "transfer factor". Since then, researchers conducted thousands of transfer factor studies with mixed results depending on dosage, experimental design, and other factors. After 1992, Kirkpatrick distinguished specific transfer factors at the molecular level. His results indicate that transfer factors are constituted by a large group of amino acid molecules, of low molecular weights, from 1.0 to 6.0 kDa. Medline, the National Institute of Health’s online service published over 1,200 scientific abstracts on the immune benefits of transfer factors. An estimated $40,000,000 was spent on research. 

 
During the early 1990s, David Lisonbee founder and president of 4Life Research discovered how pure transfer factor molecules can be extracted from colostrum and egg yolks and received patents for the processes. 4Life Research chose colostrum and egg yolks because they knew that cows and chickens are exposed to a broad spectrum of foreign invaders from being outdoors and eating off the ground. Cows and chickens also make transfer factors that are identical to transfer factors that healthy human immune systems develop if they are exposed to these potentially dangerous foreign invaders.

Currently, 4Life produces standardized health nutrition supplements that transfer this experienced immune system information to naive recipients so their immune systems are prepared to deal with these microscopic threats. Independent study results show that 4Life's transfer factors increase natural killer cell activities by 283 percent in pure form and 437 percent in their proprietary blend Transfer Factor Plus Tri-Factor Formula. This is more effective than any other method known at this time.  Transfer factors also increase immunoglobulin antibodies (IgA) by 73 percent.

The FDA generally regards transfer factors as safe. Pure transfer factors do not demonstrate toxicity even at 200 times the recommended dose. Transfer factors are a normal part of our bodies' so there are no drug interactions with pure transfer factors.

Independent comparison studies show other forms of extraction and immune system support products are relatively costly and ineffective. Most just boost immune system activity which can leave your immune system out of balance.

While 4life transfer factor molecules speed up recognition of threats, modulate your immune system response, and remembers these invaders so your immune system is prepared if the threat returns, there is something more. Through thousands of studies and years of research, 4Life researchers found even smaller molecules. They call these nanofractions...nanofactors. Nanofactors give your immune system the intuition to know when to act, how to act, and when to rest after it has the threat under control. Taking 4Life Transfer Factors Products with nanofractions effectively helps your immune system recognize and fight off threats or foreign invaders, and then preserves energy by reducing your immune system response when the threat is under control according to your individual needs. This restores your energy levels so you can do more of the things you want to do.

Another reason for using transfer factors comes from the increase in new antibiotic resistant bacteria, and the many adverse side effects of antibiotics. According to recent methodological studies from Russia, the natural immune system support provided by transfer factors offers so many benefits over antibiotics that they now recommend that their doctors use transfer factors before resorting to the use of antibiotics.

The daily need for 4Life Transfer Factors Products in children and adults comes from the interplay of genetic and environmental threats that weaken and/or over-activate healthy immune systems responses to foreign invaders. It is well known that pollution, poor eating habits, lack of exercise, and legal and illegal drugs, threaten our health and lifestyles. 4Life Transfer Factor Products are those health nutrition supplements that can change the course of your life for the better.
