4Life Transfer Factor Lung

Taking 4Life Transfer Factor Lung supports the respiratory system and can protect you from airborne pathogens, pollution, and bad air quality. This product is part of the Targeted Transfer Factor® line, so it also has 4Life Transfer Factor Tri-Factor® Formula to educate, enhance, and balance your immune system.*

The American Lung Association states that up to 60% of Americans live in areas where the air quality can be dangerous to one’s health.1

Features and Benefits
• Helps eliminate air pollutants in the respiratory tract*
• Supports your airway’s natural defenses against pollution-based damage*
• Reduces oxidative stress in the respiratory system during challenges such as air pollution*
• Supports breathing function*
• Helps the body deal with mental stresses caused by air pollution*
• Boosts lung function and lung tissue health*
• Helps you breathe in air pollution conditions*
• Educates, enhances, and balances the immune system with 4Life Transfer Factor Tri-Factor Formula*

Key Ingredients
• Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) – supports clear breathing and helps your respiratory system remove air pollutants and foreign particles*
• Broccoli (Brassica oleracea) – Contains a powerful antioxidant that supports detoxification in your body*
• N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) – Boosts antioxidant function in smokers and nonsmokers*
• Vitamin C – Boosts lung function, supports healthy lung tissue, and reduces oxidative stress to your respiratory system*
• Vitamin E – Acts as an antioxidant, supports breathing function, and helps reduce oxidative stress to your respiratory system*
• Black Cumin (Nigella sativa) seed extract – Provides benefits for your lungs in air pollution conditions*
• Bilberry (Vaccinium myritillus) fruit extract – Reduces oxidative stress during challenges such as air pollution*
