Transfer factors are molecules that transfer immune knowledge from one immune system to another, according to TransferFactor.com. These molecules can be ingested in capsule form. They do not add nutrients to the body.
Discovery
Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence discovered that an immune response could be transferred between patients via a white blood cell extract. The patent to extract transfer factors from cow colostrums for human ingestion was licensed in 1998.
Benefits
Transfer factors speed up immune system response, according to TransferFactor.com. They also help your immune system recognize problems, according to the site.
Reasons
The immune system can be compromised by lack of sleep, poor diet or stress. Helping your immune system function may offset these setbacks, according to TransferFactor.com.
Source
