Transfer Factors: Your Upgrade from Colostrum

Transfer factors are immune signaling molecules originally found in white blood cells and present in colostrum. Unlike the large antibodies in colostrum, which are only optimally absorbed during the first 24 hours after birth when the gut lining is permeable, transfer factors remain bioavailable and absorbable at any age. This unique characteristic makes them effective for both therapeutic and preventative use in humans and animals well beyond the newborn stage.

SCIENCE-BACKED & EVIDENCE BASED

Powerful Immune Modulating Effects

One remarkable feature of transfer factors is their ability to cross species lines—meaning those derived from cows can benefit not just calves, but also dogs, cats, humans, or any mammal. Discovered in 1949, transfer factors have been the subject of thousands of studies supporting their powerful immune-modulating effects.

MORE CONCENTRATED. MORE POTENT.

80:1 Strength Over Traditional Colostrum

Compared to colostrum, transfer factors offer a far more concentrated and potent solution—they are at least 80x stronger than colostrum. While colostrum contains many immune-supporting compounds, it delivers lower amounts of key components and can vary in quality due to processing. In contrast, transfer factors are highly bioavailable, help “program” immune cells, and activate T-cells and natural killer cells to build immune memory for stronger long-term defense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Transfer factors are dialyzable leukocyte extracts (often described as low–molecular weight peptides) originally identified in immune cell extracts that were observed to transfer aspects of cell-mediated immune responses between individuals in early research.

They are primarily associated with cell-mediated immunity, meaning they have been studied for their potential to influence T-cell–related immune responses, rather than acting like antibodies.

No. Colostrum is the first milk produced after birth and contains many immune-related components (including antibodies), while “transfer factor” historically refers to extractable immune molecules first identified in leukocytes (white blood cells). Some supplements market “transfer factors” derived from colostrum, but the original scientific term refers to leukocyte-derived dialyzable extracts.

Transfer factors have been studied for decades for their role in supporting cell-mediated immune function, and ongoing research continues to explore their potential to help the immune system respond efficiently. While findings vary depending on the type and formulation, they remain an area of strong scientific interest in immune health.

Transfer factor products are typically offered as dietary supplements or natural health products, meaning they must follow specific manufacturing and labeling standards depending on the country. As with any supplement, it’s best to choose products made by reputable manufacturers and consult a healthcare professional if you are pregnant, nursing, immunocompromised, or taking medications.
