Transfer Factor Cardio™
Targeted Nutrition for Cardiovascular Health

Our cardiovascular system deserves a break—not a breakdown. Our hearts work 24 hours a day, with no time off for good behavior. During a lifetime, a human heart will pump 55 million gallons of blood through nearly 60,000 miles of blood vessels, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to trillions of cells. We can give this system a highly deserved break by eating a healthy diet that contains an abundance of essential nutrients, regular aerobic exercise and the revolutionary support of 4Life® Transfer Factor Cardio.

Transfer Factor Cardio provides comprehensive support for the cardiovascular system. In addition to promoting specific system support with the power of Targeted Transfer Factor, it contains additional ingredients such as Magnesium, arginate, red rice yeast extract, B vitamins and antioxidants to help support healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels*—all necessary for healthy cardiac function.

As seen in the 2003 Physicians Desk Reference For Dietary Supplements


Primary Benefits

Harnesses the immune support of transfer factors sourced from egg yolks to directly support the cardiovascular system

Protects the heart with free-radical fighting antioxidants to support the efficiency of the heart, and the integrity of blood vessels and arteries that pump precious blood to the heart

Promotes healthy cerebral and peripheral blood flow

Supports healthy circulation and oxygen usage to the brain and throughout the entire body

Maintains proper elasticity and support healthy blood pressure levels

Promotes healthy homocysteine levels within the body

Supports normal cholesterol levels

What makes this product unique?

Transfer factors are small messenger molecules that educate the immune system, support healthy immune responses, and promote the body’s ability to remember past health threats.

4Life Transfer Factor products are featured in the 2003, 2004, and 2005 Physicians Desk Reference For Nonprescription Drugs and Dietary Supplements, the standard supplement guide for physicians that can be found in virtually every physicians office, hospital, and pharmacy in the United States.

4Life Transfer Factor Cardio targets the superior immune-enhancing benefits of transfer factors to directly support the cardiovascular system.

4Life Transfer Factor Cardio is backed by a patented process proprietary to 4Life. (US Patent 6,468,534).

This product addresses total cardiovascular health, including supporting normal inflammatory response within the body, and protecting the health and integrity of the entire cardiovascular system.

Recent research shows that promoting healthy homocysteine levels may be just as important as cholesterol for a healthy cardiovascular system. B vitamins, including Folic Acid, B6, and B12, support normal homocysteine levels. Antioxidants such as Selenium, Copper, Zinc, and vitamins A, C, and E, have also shown to have beneficial effects for promoting healthy homocysteine levels within the body.

Ascorbic Acid, niacinamide, Hawthorn, Resveratrol, Garlic, Lysine, and red rice yeast extract are included in 4Life Transfer Factor Cardio to support proper circulation and healthy cholesterol levels.

The Immune System Connection: Cardiovascular Disease

Q: What are the problems associated with cardiovascular disease?

A: Cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke, is a major cause of death for both men and women around the world. (World Health Organization) The American Heart Association reports that over 61 million people in America alone live with cardiovascular problems, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart palpitations. More than 16 million people around the world die each year from cardiovascular diseases, as reported by the World Health Organization. By 2010, cardiovascular disease is expected to be the leading cause of death in developing countries. (World Health Organization)

The major identified risks for cardiovascular disease include smoking, obesity, alcohol, diabetes, physical inactivity, family history, elevated levels of LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and high blood pressure. In the last several years, new research has also pointed to two new important elements in cardiovascular disease, elevated homocysteine levels and inflammation associated with infection.

Cardiovascular disease affects so many of us, in one way or another. Family members, friends, fellow employees—we all are touched by the magnitude and scope of this disease. And even if you don’t currently live with cardiovascular disease, you could still be at risk. A family history of the disease and poor lifestyle choices, as well as any of the risk factors listed above, could make you a prime target.

In 2003, cardiovascular disease and its complications cost the United States over 360 billion dollars. (American Heart Association)

Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of women throughout the world, accounting for one-third of deaths in women worldwide. And women die from heart attacks more often than men do. (American Heart Association)

Q: How does the immune system work?
A: The immune system’s ability to protect your body is both instinctive and learned—in other words, it fights invasions with both innate and acquired responses. Each individual is born with innate immunity—the ability of the immune system to generally recognize foreign invaders. Along with passive defenses like skin, stomach acid and mucus, the innate immune system also contains active immune response mechanisms that include Natural Killer, or NK cells, and macrophages. Like all innate front line defense agents, NK cells do not need prior exposure to an infectious microbe in order to act. They simply recognize foreign cells and go to work.

Any substance that triggers an immune response is called an antigen. Sometimes a germ makes it past your immune system and you catch a cold, the flu or worse. An illness is a visible sign that your immune system failed to stop the germ. But you do get better; and that’s proof that your immune system is doing its job. It gathered knowledge about the invader, mounted a defense and eliminated it properly. If your immune system didn’t do anything, the infection would eventually overrun your body.

Unfortunately, even the strongest innate immune system can’t handle all the various microbes we encounter daily. That’s where acquired immunity comes in. Immune cells learn new skills and build new tools to deal with ever-increasing microbial invaders. But for this system to adapt for attack, it first must recognize a threat before it can build the tools to fight, which is why you sometimes feel like you’re “coming down with something” for several days. The good news is that after the acquired immune system builds the tools for a specific infection, it remembers it and is ready for the next attack.

Inflammation is an immediate response by the immune system to an infection or injury, such as when you get a cut on your arm. In most cases, as the immune system deals with the problem, the immune cells then retreat from the area and inflammation and swelling go down. But occasionally, the immune cells do not withdraw and the inflammation continues, creating a chronic problem within the body. Researchers are beginning to discover a link between chronic inflammation and a host of conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.

Sometimes the immune system makes a mistake and acts inappropriately to a certain situation. One such mistake is autoimmunity. For reasons not entirely understood by scientists, the immune system begins to attack the cells, tissues, and organs of the body the same way it would normally react to a germ, causing numerous autoimmune conditions including allergies, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome and many others.

Q: What is the immune system connection to cardiovascular disease?
A: Medical science has now established that inflammation is a major component in heart disease. Inflammation is a normal response generated by the immune system to threats by invading bacteria or germs that can sometimes become a chronic situation within the body. In the case of the cardiovascular system, bacteria and viruses can sometimes find their way into arteries and become embedded in the walls. This sign of infection signals the immune system to initiate the inflammatory response to clean out the problem. Inflammation often attracts LDL, or bad cholesterol. The cholesterol becomes oxidized in the swollen portion of the arterial wall and the inflammation continues, trying to clean out the problem, but in actuality, making it worse. Swelling caused by inflammation reduces the flow of blood through that vessel, affecting the health and integrity of the entire cardiovascular system, possibly causing a future cardiovascular episode such as a heart attack.

Q: What are some important nutrients to support the health of my cardiovascular system?

A: Scientific research has uncovered several important nutrients that can protect your body against the damaging effects of cardiovascular disease.

Transfer factors
Transfer factors, tiny molecules that transfer immunity from one entity to another, can boost or balance the immune system, whatever your body’s particular situation requires. They promote the immune system’s ability to remember past invasions, allowing your body to more quickly respond to similar health threats. Transfer factors also educate naïve immune cells about a present or potential danger in your body, along with a plan for action and speed up the recognition phase of an infection. Transfer factors can be extracted from a variety of sources, the two most powerful and most abundant being cow Colostrum (first milk) and chicken eggs. Combining these two sources of transfer factors provides a broad Spectrum of immune support, utilizing the strength of two animals for maximum power for your immune system.

When dealing with the cardiovascular system and the inflammatory situation outlined previously, transfer factors support the immune system’s suppressor cells to enable the body to control the inflammation. Once the inflammation is controlled, the arterial wall is free to repair itself and recover its normal function.
Red Rice Yeast
Red rice yeast extract is an important ingredient for lowering levels of LDL cholesterol. It contains a variety of compounds called monacolins, which have been shown in clinical tests to inhibit the activity of an enzyme in the liver that is needed to produce cholesterol. In addition, red rice yeast contains other ingredients such as sterols (sitosterol, capesterol and stigmasterol), isoflavones and unsaturated fatty acids which also contribute to maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.
Antioxidants: Co-enzyme Q10, Zinc, Vitamins A, C and E
The process that brings oxygen into our bodies brings a negative by-product called free radicals. The heart uses oxygen on a daily basis, always pulsating and pumping oxygen in and out. Substances called antioxidants can help protect the heart against the damaging effects of free radicals. Vitamins A, C and E are potent antioxidants, as well as coq10 and Zinc.
B vitamins, Folic Acid
Homocysteine is an amino acid produced by the body that has shown the potential of being more correlated with cardiovascular disease than cholesterol. High homocysteine levels have been linked to increases in the degradation of arterial walls, LDL cholesterol and blood clot formation. Current research indicates that getting enough B vitamins, especially Folic Acid, B6 and B12, and antioxidants such as Selenium, Copper, Zinc and vitamins A, C and E, is highly effective in promoting healthy homocysteine levels.
Arginate
Arginate is an important ingredient shown to promote proper function of the inner lining of the blood vessels and aid in boosting the production of nitricoxide, the agent in your body that widens blood vessels and promotes proper blood flow.

Try more fiber, like fruits and vegtables. See, they help get water out. Probably somehow reduce fat, too.

Reduce salt! Really this makes a difference! Get a little exercise at least, everyday. Walk when it is nice. It builds up endorphins in you're body, they are feel good hormones, and they can change alot.

And keep a good attitude above all. Whatever is gonna happen, is gonna happen, good or bad, we don't have to row the boat all by ourselves, know what I mean?

We don't need to be in control of everything all the time. Let go and let God.

Why do you have high blood pressure? If you are overweight you need to lose some weight. If you are stressed out you need to take up yoga or meditation. If your arteries have narrowed you can use L-Arginine. This will produce Nitric Oxide that dilates the vessels. Hope this helps!

Maybe you should question why you are on the medications you are on. If you were able to get to the root causes for the symptons that your medication is treating (and apparently you are having side effects of hi blood pressure - if I understand you correctly), then it would improve.

Even with that said, if you are over weight, getting back to a healthy weight is the first thing to look at for high blood pressure.

malax1925
hypertension has both modifiable and unmodifiable risk factors.

there are some things that predispose you to it you can't change like your genetics,your gender,your race,and age.

but you should work on reducing the effects of the modifiable risk factors like smoking,diet,and mainly your lifestyle (previous 2 plus stressors).

hope this helps!
