Raw Product Quality - Transfer Factor™

As the interest in 4Life Research Transfer Factor™ products increases globally, questions arise from time to time about the quality of the raw ingredients especially the colostrum from which TF is extracted.In response to the questions, the following points are considered:

1. All of the dairy herds that produce colostrum for processing are US FDA and USDA Grade A dairy farms. As such the farm and milk must meet the standards of state and federal milk quality ordinances, including the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO). These state and federally inspected farms produce milk for the Grade A Fluid Milk Market. Milk from these farms is sold in the market.

2. It is unlawful to use antibiotics in lactating dairy cattle
that will give rise to violative levels of antimicrobial drugs. All tanker truckloads of milk are tested in all processing plants for violative residues. Contaminated milk cannot be used for fluid or processing milk purposes. The financial penalties are severe and dairy producers have redundant management schemes in place to assure that residues do not occur. USDA and FDA statute prohibit use of antibiotics as a feed supplement in lactating dairy cattle.

3. Our inquiry revealed that the dairy farms that produce raw colostrum for processing do not use hormones intended to increase milk product
