Understanding Transfer Factor Capsules

Transfer factor capsules are a type of immunotherapy that contain extracts from the spleen of healthy pigs. These capsules are primarily composed of peptides, amino acids, and nucleotides, which are believed to boost the immune system by transferring immune information from one individual to another.

What are the Uses of Transfer Factor Capsules?

Transfer factor capsules are clinically indicated for certain viral and fungal infections that are difficult to control with antibiotics, such as herpes zoster, epidemic encephalitis B, candidiasis, and viral myocarditis. They can also be used as an adjunctive therapy for malignant tumors and have shown some efficacy in treating immunodeficiency diseases, including eczema, thrombocytopenia, and chronic and acute skin and mucosal fungal infections.

How Do Transfer Factor Capsules Work?

The exact mechanism of action of transfer factor capsules is not fully understood. However, it is believed that they work by transferring specific information about the immune response from one individual to another, thereby enhancing the immune system's ability to recognize and fight off pathogens.
