When you were a newborn, you received the immune information accumulated throughout your life from your mum through your first breast milk, which we call colostrum. This information helped your inexperienced and immature system adapt to the world. Unlike many supplements you find in health food shops, transfer factors are not vitamins, minerals or plants (substances that add nutrients to your body).

Transfer Factors are molecules found in colostrum.

Transfer factors are very different from vitamins, minerals and herbs. Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients used by your body to carry out important functions, such as converting food into energy (metabolism). Herbs contain phytonutrients, natural compounds found in plants that act in different ways to support the proper functioning of the body.

The immune system is a vast network of cells, tissues and organs that coordinate your body's defences against any threats to your health. Thanks to its ability to recognise, react and remember, the immune system is able to defend our body against all kinds of threats. Products with transfer factors contain essential nutrients (folic acid, selenium, copper, zinc and vitamins A, B6, B12, C and D) that help keep your immune system healthy.

To illustrate the benefits of Transfer Factor supplements, let's focus on one type of immune system cell, the NK (Natural Killer) cells.

These cells need to be kept highly active in order to function properly. With proper activation, NK cells quickly and effectively identify and destroy invaders.

You can get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals for the normal functioning of the immune system from various products from a brand that LUÍS ABREU PESTANA - COSMÉTICA, UNIPESSOAL LDA. works with that contain Transfer Factors.
