Independent Bio-Assay Overview |
|
|
According to William Hennen, Ph.D., Vice
President of Research and Development at 4Life, "Each and every batch of
Transfer Factor™ is tested by an independent laboratory with
established, documented credentials in assessing for transfer factor
activity. Very few laboratories have the experience or credentials to
assay for TF activity. We go to great lengths to assure the quality of
transfer factor in our product. This is the reason our distributors are
consistently having such great success with Transfer Factor™. From
infants to the elderly, reports keep coming in every day with results
that have matched or exceeded our every expectation. Transfer factor has
nearly 50 years of research and over 3,000 clinical studies and
scientific papers proving its existence and effectiveness. Our licensed
patent proved for the first time that transfer factor exists in
colostrum and that it can be successfully extracted and assayed."

Independent Study on Transfer Factor
|
|
|
This latest study reports that 4Life Transfer Factor™
and Transfer Factor Plus™ "induced immune-based killing of K562 cancer
cells at a level unprecedented in our experience or known in medical
research," according to the director of the laboratory. 4Life Transfer
Factor™ and Transfer Factor Plus™ were tested for their ability to
increase Natural Killer Cell (NK) activity by killing live cancer cells.
The test results showed that 4Life Transfer Factor™ boosted NK cell
activity 103% above normal immune response without supplementation, or
about two times higher than the next highest product. In addition, it
was revealed that Transfer Factor Plus™ increased the NK cell 248% above
normal immune response without supplementation, or about five times
higher than any of the other previously tested products. The best of
more than 200 other products tested showed an increase of only 48.6%.
There were no difference in the responses that were related to the route
of administration. We conclude that oral route of administration is
efficacious and should be used when possible. We have also studied the
effects of transfer factors on immune responses by recipients. The
details of this research are presented in the paper by Dr. Alvarez-Thull.
