| Transfer factors are thought to contain
protein and RNA, but no DNA. Their small size—a molecular
weight of less than 10,000—helps render them nonallergenic
and enables them to retain full potency when taken orally.
The colostrum of all mammals is, in fact, rich in transfer
factor, and is critical for conferring passive immunity to
newborns when ingested during breastfeeding or suckling. |
 Transfer
factor molecules function as a highly effective immune
messaging system made up of small protein chains and other
related compounds. Transfer factors occur in white blood
cells of humans and animals. When foreign organisms are
encountered by select immune cells they produce transfer
factors specific to the invading organism. These transfer
factors are then passed along to other immune cells "passing
the message" of a foreign organism and the characteristics
of the organism. Current research indicates that these
immune compounds are identical from one species to another.
Thus making it possible for transfer factors from cows and
chickens to be beneficial in human health.Transfer
factors are designed by nature to transfer critical immune
information. These compounds are most prevalent in colostrum
and egg yolks. Through these two sources, all animals are
given temporary immunity to all of the organisms to which
their mothers have been exposed. This allows the young
animal some protection until its immune system is more fully
developed. Likewise, this temporary protection can be
utilized by humans of any age.

Transfer factors are molecules that
reside in the bodies of all animals. They are
messengers, passing immunity information about the
presence of an immune threat—whether external or
internal—and how to properly respond—from one immune
cell to another. |
