What is it?
Transfer factors have not been shown to treat or prevent cancer.
Transfer factors are a group of proteins produced by cells of the immune system. Studies in humans are limited. Some suggest that transfer factors can be used to treat herpes, infections in children, chronic fatigue syndrome, and yeast infections. Other data suggest they may boost the immune system in patients with AIDS. However, more research is needed to determine the effects of transfer factors.
