What is transfer factor?
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.

Transfer Factor PlasMyc™ provides the physician with a targeted formula developed to support the immune system's natural ability to identify and react to specific immune threats.

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.

It is better absorbed when taken away from food. You may also take it at bedtime, if you have not eaten before going to bed.

Some patients may experience a herxheimer reaction, characterized by flu-like symptoms when they first take the product. Most physicians recognize this as a normal reaction of any product developed to support the immune system. If these symptoms occur, they generally subside within two weeks. Sensitive individuals should start with one capsule every other day for the first week; one capsule per day for the second week; two capsules per day for the third week and thereafter. If the patient misses a dose, they should not double the dose.
