Transfer Factors Are Not Species Specific

We know now that transfer factors produced by a cow can work just as effectively in humans as they do in animals – something you cannot say about the antibody content of cow colostrum. In other words, transfer factors extracted from cow colostrum can give us the same type of advantage a newborn gets from its mother’s first milk.

The ability to receive immune data transferred from the cow to the human has the potential to revolutionize the way we look at disease prevention in medicine.

Keep in mind that all mammals, including humans and cattle, come into constant contact with the same microorganisms. Animals and humans alike live in the same microbial world, and all mammals have immune systems that work alike.

When a cow comes in contact with a bacteria or virus or a parasite, its immune system responds the same way we do. It recognizes the invader, identifies it, responds, and then remembers. These immune memories are subsequently encoded on tiny memory molecules called transfer factors.

Through these tiny factors, we can actually borrow immune memory from a compatible source, the cow, which has already experienced hundreds of infectious organisms, so when we encounter any of these organisms as we inevitably do every day, we have an incredible advantage. Our immune forces skip the identification and recognition stage, which is the time we normally become ill, and go directly to the attack mode, or secondary stage of defense.

Differences Between Cow Colostrum and Transfer Factor Extract

Cow colostrum naturally contains some random transfer factors but the overall "punch" of these factors pales in comparison to concentrated isolates of transfer factor. In other words, the ability to separate out transfer factors from the rest of cow colostrum results in a superior product. In addition, taking whole cow colostrum may cause an allergic reaction in those sensitive to cow’s milk.
