Milk and/or Egg Allergy and Transfer Factor

As we received number of enquiries from those with milk allergy/egg allergy regarding to the use of Transfer Factor for these allergies, I decided to put the response we received from the manufacture here.

Transfer Factors themselves are non-allergenic. 4Life's extraction process eliminates common allergens in egg and colostrum sources. Any remaining lactose in colostrum-derived transfer factors is far below the amounts that typically cause reactions. (As a precaution, people with allergies specifically to egg yolks, should check with their physician before taking 4Life Products with Transfer Factor E-XF or Targeted Transfer Factor.)

Lactoferrin is a non-allergenic iron-binding protein derived from milk. In preparing transfer factor we remove the large molecular proteins. Casein is one of these large proteins and is responsible for many milk allergies. We have not had any reports of allergic reactions from people taking 4Life Transfer Factor products who are allergic to milk, however we recommend that you consult a medical professional before-taking any new dietary supplements. We also suggest to follow the directions on our products, in the case of RioVida the recommended dose is one ounce or more a day. We have never been able to demonstrate toxicity with transfer factors and so there is not a safety issue associated with that.

The capsule and tablet products do not contain preservatives. They have a shelf life of two years. The natural preservatives in RioVida are, as listed on the label: lysozyme, lactoperoxidase.

Hope this will help you. :)
