Abstract: A composition for supporting metabolism or the endocrine system of a subject includes transfer factor and one or more support components. The transfer factor is useful for preventing, mitigating the effects of, or reversing autoimmunity, as well as for preventing, mitigating the effects or, or reversing oxidative stress. The one or more support components may prevent misregulation of or facilitate regulation of metabolism or endocrine system of the subject. A support or treatment method includes administering transfer factor to a subject, with or without one or more support components.

Abstract: A nutraceutical food product includes a solid matrix and a liquid combined into a gel.

The fruit component may include at least one oligoproanthocyanidin-containing fruit, such as açai.

Abstract: A composition for eliciting a T-cell mediated immune response in a subject includes transfer factor from at least two different types of source animals. For example, the composition may include mammalian transfer factor and nonmammalian transfer factor. An example of the composition includes a combination of a colostrum-derived product, which includes the mammalian transfer factor, and an egg-derived product, which includes the nonmammalian transfer factor. Additionally, the egg-derived product may be substantially free of fat. Methods for forming the composition and eliciting T-cell mediated immune responses in subjects that have been treated with the composition are also disclosed.

Abstract: Compositions that include extracts from sources of immune modulators that include nanofraction immune modulator molecules (i.e., molecules having molecular weights of about 3,000 Da and less) are disclosed. These compositions may also include other immune modulators, such as transfer factor. Administration of compositions with extracts that include nanofraction immune modulator molecules modulates the cell-mediated immunity (e.g., down-regulates undesired T cell activity) of a subject to which such compositions are administered. When administered with transfer factor, the combination of nanofraction immune modulator molecules and transfer factor down-regulates undesired T cell activity while increasing, or up-regulating, T cell activity against pathogens and other undesirable entities, such as cancer cells and other aberrant or mutated cells. Assays and assay techniques for evaluating the immune modulation capabilities of various substances are also disclosed.

Abstract: A drink includes an edible liquid or semisolid preparation and transfer factor. The drink may also include lactoferrin and one or more preservatives.

Abstract: A method for non-invasively assessing a subject's health includes evaluating a state of a subject's immune response. Such a method may include obtaining a salivary sample from the subject and assaying the salivary sample for IgA. The state of a component of the subject's immunity may be evaluated in conjunction with the administration of one or more substances known to elicit a cell-mediated immune response to the subject to determine the effect of the one or more substances on the subject's humoral, or antibody-mediated, immune response. Assay methods may also be used to optimize the dosage of an immune support component to be administered to a particular subject. Systems that include assays for evaluating the state of a subject's immune response and nutraceuticals are also disclosed.
