What is the difference between transfer factors and colostrum?
Transfer factors are the most powerful part of colostrum. Colostrum contains bovine specific antibodies that can cause allergic reactions. However, transfer factors are not species-specific and can be given to another mammal without reaction. In addition, transfer factor supplements are vastly more concentrated than colostrum alone. In fact, you would have to consume many quarts of colostrum to receive the same benefits of one transfer factor capsule.
