As with all targeted transfer factors, it is recommended that the health care professional confirm and monitor the patient’s need, using appropriate lab tests.
First discovered by immunologist H. Sherwood Lawrence in 1949, transfer factors are immune messenger molecules comprised of amino acids. In mammals these molecules are naturally produced by the body and found in colostrum, providing critical immune support to newly born babies. Research suggests that these molecules are not species-specific, and therefore can be extracted from bovine (cow) colostrum and utilized in supplement form. They are known to support the immune systems ability to identify potential threats.* Additionally, they have the unique ability to modulate the immune system, promoting Th1 and TH2 balance.*
