The Effect of Transfer Factors on the Immune System

The human immune system is an intricate network of cells that protect the human body by recognizing, attacking and eliminating microbial invaders that enter the body. Bacteria and viruses enter the body causing illnesses and disease. When medications are overprescribed, viruses and bacteria become resistant to them leaving the body vulnerable to attack.

One of the most important components within the immune system are small molecules that act as messengers within the immune system. These “transfer factors” are capable of working on their own, but are much more effective when several are used in conjunction with one another.

Why Are Transfer Factors Important?

Transfer factors are important because they carry vital information to cells within the immune system that help them to recognize potential threats. Without the information relayed by the transfer factor molecules, cells in the immune system would not know what to look for if a potential virus or bacteria entered the body. Transfer factors help to relay signals from “trained immune response cells” to those that do not yet have the ability to identify possible threats. In other words, it makes the naive cells better able to respond when a threat presents itself.

How Do They Work?

Transfer factor molecules carry small bits of information or a “code” that helps cells that are able to respond to threats, identify and target them for attack. When an infant is first born, they are exposed to numerous microbial hazards. The mother’s first milk or colostrum, is rich with many different types of transfer factor molecules. Because transfer factor molecules only carry a small amount of information, they are much more effective when several are mixed together to provide a more complete genetic code. This strengthens the immune system and helps it to fight microbial invaders more efficiently.

The use of transfer factors has been proven to be safe and effective for individuals of all ages. Infants and children have immune systems that may not be fully developed, while the elderly may have a reduced immune response due to deterioration or chronic illness. Immune-IQ is an effective immune system booster that helps to boost natural immune defense to viruses and bacteria for people of all ages. It also supports the body’s ability to recognize and overcome microbes that have mutated and are now resistant to common medications and drugs that were once effective in controlling them.
