A long History of Research

Since the discovery of transfer factor in 1949 ( by Dr. Sherwood Lawrence ) over 3000 papers have been written about it and can be found in the medical literature. Over $40 Million has been spent on research throughout the world. One important example is this 1999 study from the University of Bologna, Italy. 
“25 Years of Clinical Experience With Transfer Factor”

This document is a testament to the long-term safety of "Transfer Factor" usage. Their studies were done using Transfer Factor extracted from blood, and smaller amounts were used as it was both risky and expensive — but still very effective. At about that same time, scientists and doctors in the US began using Transfer Factor extracted from cow colostrum and chicken egg yolks.

Enhanced Transfer Factor™  Product information sheet PDF
 

Ingredients:

 

IF-2TG is a proprietary blend of highly beneficial bovine colostral extracts (including transfer factor, proline-rich polypeptides, lactoferrin, growth factors), and bovine thymus gland. This component is for your immune system like a state-of-the-art instruction manual, plus graduate education, plus front-line tutoring from immune cell to immune cell.

 

Transfer Factor is a scientifically-recognized intricate means of immune communication at the cellular level. Produced by the immune system, it is naturally designed to transfer highly concentrated, easily usable immune intelligence from one immune system to another, as from human mother to baby through her colostrum or “first milk.”

Proline-rich polypeptides (PRPs) are another class of small colostrum-derived proteins that have ability to modulate certain immune processes. 
 

Lactoferrin (LF) belongs to the family of iron-binding proteins. The LF found in the colostrum (first milk) of mammals offers many significant cross-species benefits. 
 

Thymus gland extracts support the vital function of the thymus gland, which plays a critical role of preparing numerous immune cells for their functions in protecting and maintaining health. 
 

Growth Factors, derived from colostrum, support multiple regenerative effects that extend to: 1) all structural body cells; 2) the gut; 3) muscle and cartilage repair; and 4) promotion of wound healing.   

AgariCeps™ Extract Blend is an ALL-ORGANIC proprietary blend of mushroom extracts selected for their exceptional biological potency. Mushrooms have been used to support healthy immune function for centuries by the Chinese, and in the late 1960s Western scientists joined those from the East in researching the mechanisms of mushrooms’ apparent benefits. This resulted in growing scientific evidence demonstrating their wide-ranging beneficial effects for human health.

 

Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis Berk.) is another of the medicinal mushrooms well recognized for its many and wide ranging health-enhancing benefits. 
 

Agaricus (Agaricus blazei Murill) is highly valued for its richness in beta-glucans, and its health-enhancing benefits have been proclaimed for millennia. 

Indian bread (Poria Cocos Schw.) is a respected mushroom for which studies have shown support of effective immune function in recognition and response to abnormal cell development. 
 

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus L.) is one of nature’s oldest medicinal herbs. 
 

Turkey tails (Trametes versicolor L.) is the most widely researched of the immune-enhancing mushrooms. 
 

Maitake (Grifola frondosa Dicks.) mushroom contains grifolan, an important beta-glucan polysaccharide. 
 

Shiitake (Lentinus edodes Berk.) contains a polysaccharide compound called lentinan. 

​

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum Curtis) mushrooms possess immunomodulating abilities and support healthy immune system function.   

  

VITATROL™ is a proprietary blend of plant extracts and natural acids incorporated into Enhanced Transfer Factor™ because of their remarkable ability to maximize the potential benefit of many nutraceuticals. Whether accomplished by improved absorption, increased bioavailability, enhanced circulation or greater antioxidant power, these ingredients offer exceptional support for effective immune function and overall health.

  

Resveratrol is the active component in grape skins, and is the main cause of what is called the “French Paradox” or the prevention of diet-induced health damage. 

Curcumin is the yellow component of the spice turmeric. 
 

Alpha Lipoic acid is a natural antioxidant. 
 

Quercetin is among the most active of the flavonoids. 
 

Pomegranate extract is rich with phytonutrients known to provide multiple health benefits. 
 

Bioperine® is a standardized extract from black pepper or Piper longum L. 

 

 

Vitamins and Minerals

 

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), first demonstrated to strengthen immunity in 1942, plays multiple important roles in health.  

Zinc was first recognized to be essential for human health over forty years ago.
