PARADIGM CHANGE

This immune system story is different
from anything else you’ve ever read.
It’s not a story about fruits, vegetables,
or even vitamins, minerals, or herbs. It’s a story about something much more valuable for immune system health… a story about molecules.


You’re about to encounter the difference 4Life Transfer Factor® products make in supporting the immune system. Other companies have watched 4Life deliver one innovation after another in the realm of immune system science. They’ve scrambled to match us. No one has even come close.

4Life Transfer Factor is more than just innovative and patented… it’s hands down, the best product for your immune system. It delivers the support you need, when you need it. But first, let’s understand why you need it…

CRITICAL IMMUNITY

Have you seen what happens (usually
within minutes) to a body when the
immune system is no longer protecting
it from outside invaders? Most of the threats assaulting the immune system are completely invisible to us, yet impact us more than we can imagine.



Immune cells are everywhere in your body, including your skin, lymph nodes, and blood. From local problems (a cut in your skin) to large-scale concerns (fighting the effects of free radicals), prompt and effective immune cell communication and coordination is critical for immune system health.

Although many products on the market today provide nutrients for immune cells, what they really need (and what 4Life Transfer Factor® delivers) is education and direction.

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. And when it can’t do its job… well, you feel it.

You should care about your immune system, because it cares for you.

HEALTHY FEEL

4Life® has dedicated over a decade to providing products that support optimal immune system function. Why? Because we want people everywhere to discover just how good they could feel if their immune system was performing at its best. At 4Life, we’re not interested in status quo… we’re interested in unrivaled, uncharted, and previously inconceivable levels of wellness. Our product mission—to show people all over the world just how good healthy can feel.

So, what does all of this have to do with molecules?


LIFETIME DISCOVERY

Our transfer factor story began when
4Life Chief Executive Officer David
Lisonbee unearthed a patent for


transfer factor extraction. Back in 1949, a scientist made a startling discovery that would change immune science forever. While studying tuberculosis, Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence, a prominent researcher at New York University, discovered that one of the secrets to a strong immune system was hiding in nature. He identified that immune information could be transferred from a donor to a recipient (from a smart immune system to one that needs more help).

He realized that there were certain “factors” doing the actual transferring. He named these molecules transfer factors. David’s discovery of transfer factor science decades later began a revolution in immune system products.

TRANSFER FACTOR BEGINS

Transfer factors are made by the
immune system, for the immune
system. The first time you encounter
Transfer factor molecules are at the very beginning of life itself—when you are born. In both humans and animals, a mother passes on vital immune know-how (gathered from her own experiences) in the first critical days of life through her first milk (colostrum). This knowledge gives the newborn the lessons it needs to build its own immune history of strength. A crucial part of that is transfer factor education.
“Transfer factors’ greatest value is in their ability to help optimize the immune system. Current technology has made transfer factors much more affordable and available to anyone. Take care of your immune system with 4Life Transfer Factor® support and it will take care of you.” Calvin McCausland, Ph.D. 4Life® Chief Scientific Officer


The most effective sources of transfer factors are cow colostrum and chicken egg yolks. Colostrum is the first milk a mother gives her newborn. And although colostrum itself contains many immune building blocks, most of these can’t be transferred from a cow to a human. However, transfer factors can. Here the transfer factor story gets really good. Unlike the antibodies present in cow colostrum or chicken egg yolks, transfer factors are not species-specific. What does that mean? It means that transfer factor molecules, and the information they contain, can be shared. Whether in cows, chickens, or humans, the educating power of transfer factors crosses over.


BIG BENEFITS

Transfer factors may be small, but
their impact is colossal. To really
understand what transfer factors are,
it’s important to know what they aren’t. Transfer factors are not vitamins, minerals, herbs, or even fruits.
So, what are they?
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. We call them the three R’s:

Recognize.
Transfer factors help immune cells identify invading germs 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.

QUANTUM LEAP

When David Lisonbee happened upon
an obscure reference for the transfer
factor patent, he knew he had found
something extraordinary, but even he had no idea just how much transfer factors would change the field of immune science.

David had been researching the immune system, in part to find ways to better support his own health and that of his family. When David discovered the patent to extract transfer factors from cow colostrum, he recognized that these tiny molecules had the potential to revolutionize the natural supplement industry. He introduced them to the world through 4Life’s first product: 4Life Transfer Factor® Classic.

Bringing encapsulated transfer factor molecules to market would have been enough innovation for most companies, but not for 4Life. We had only begun our legacy of research and discovery. Just one year later, we combined transfer factors with other potent immune builders for our first 4Life Transfer Factor Plus® product.


Then, David Lisonbee hypothesized that transfer factors also existed in chicken egg yolks and encouraged the 4Life Research and Development department to research it. You know what? He was right. In 2002, we patented the extraction of transfer factors from chicken egg yolks (US Patent #6,468,534). With the chicken egg yolk patent, 4Life began introducing Targeted Transfer Factor® products.

As the name suggests, these products focus the power of 4Life Transfer Factor® to benefit specific body systems. Whether you’re looking to support your cardiovascular system, metabolic and endocrine systems, female or male reproductive health, or brain, 4Life® has a product for you.
• 4Life Transfer Factor Cardio — cardiovascular system support
• 4Life Transfer Factor GluCoach® — metabolic and endocrine system support
• 4Life Transfer Factor ReCall® — support for the brain and central nervous system
• 4Life Transfer Factor Belle Vie® — female breast and reproductive system support
• 4Life Transfer Factor MalePro® — male prostate support
We kept going. In 2004, 4Life launched several products containing Transfer Factor E-XF, a formulation that combines transfer factors sourced from cow colostrum and chicken egg yolks for increased effectiveness. And in 2005, 4Life obtained another exclusive patent that protects the unique manufacturing process we use to combine transfer factors from cow colostrum and chicken egg yolks (US Patent #6,866,868).
Ready for more? We even stabilized transfer factors in a liquid for yet another phenomenal innovation, 4Life Transfer Factor RioVida®. It’s a juice beverage filled to the brim with antioxidant fruits (açaí, pomegranate, and blueberry, to name a few), in addition to one-of-a-kind 4Life Transfer Factor support.
When you partner with 4Life, you’ve got exclusive U.S. patents backing you up. Every day, our Research and Development department, comprised of in-house scientists and a board of certified health professionals, is looking for innovative ways to support the health of the entire body through the immune system. In fact, when it comes to the science of Transferceuticals—molecules that transfer immune knowledge, memory, and wisdom from one source to another—4Life is a bona fide category creator.
