Which Transfer Factor should you choose for your child and how to use it safely?

Note: 4Life Transfer Factor products are not medications and are not intended to treat or prevent any diseases. They are dietary supplements made from colostrum (bovine colostrum) and egg yolk, processed using a patented technology. These supplements are often chosen by parents throughout the year as part of their child’s daily nutrition.

Warning: Transfer Factor dietary supplements are not intended for children under 4 years of age.

Most popular Transfer Factor formats

Transfer Factor supplements are available in various forms:

• Transfer Factor Classic – capsules made only from colostrum
• Transfer Factor Tri-Factor – capsules with a more advanced formula
• Transfer Factor Plus Tri-Factor – contains zinc, herbal and mushroom-based ingredients
• Transfer Factor Tri-Factor Chewable – chewable tablets with a creamy citrus flavor
• Transfer Factor RioVida – fruit juice with added Transfer Factors

Which products do parents choose most often?

Based on many years of customer feedback and personal experience, the most commonly used products are:

• For younger children: Transfer Factor Classic – the most gentle formula, made exclusively from colostrum
• For teenagers: Transfer Factor Tri-Factor, Transfer Factor Chewable, or Transfer Factor RioVida

Transfer Factor Plus Tri-Factor has a more complex composition due to its content of zinc, herbs, and mushrooms. In the case of supplementation in children, we recommend consulting a doctor.

How do children usually take Transfer Factors?

The daily portions listed on product labels are intended for adults. For children, parents usually adjust the portion size to age and body weight, starting gradually.

For example, based on American guidelines (Steven Bock, "Transfer Factor and Its Clinical Applications"), many parents start supplementing with Transfer Factor Classic as follows:

• under 5 years: 1 capsule daily
• ages 6–12: 1 capsule twice daily
• over 12 years: same as adults – 3 capsules daily

Note: Any decision to include supplements in a young child’s diet should be consulted with a physician. Gradual introduction allows the parent to calmly observe the child’s response.
