Animal ethical Production of 4Life Transfer Factors

Ethical Sourcing of Cow Colostrum

When it comes to cow colostrum, 4Life only works with dairy farms that hold certifications from respected programs like the Farmers Assuring Responsible Management (FARM) or Validus. These certifications ensure high standards of animal welfare. For example, cows are provided proper shelter, nutrition, and veterinary care, and importantly, colostrum is collected only after calves have consumed their necessary share. This practice respects natural feeding behaviors and aligns with sustainability goals. You can read more about this commitment on 4Life’s website, such as their news on FARM certification and the FARM program overview.

Key Practices:

• Colostrum is only collected after calves have received their full share, respecting
  natural feeding.

• FARM and Validus certification mandates regular animal welfare audits.

• Farms must adhere to strict standards regarding cleanliness, stress reduction,
  and ethical treatment.

Responsible Use of Chicken Egg Yolks

For Transfer Factors derived from chicken egg yolks, 4Life partners exclusively with farms certified by the United Egg Producers (UEP). The UEP certification is built on decades of research and is overseen by an independent Scientific Advisory Committee. This ensures that laying hens receive clean water, nutritious feed, proper lighting, and humane care without the use of hormones or unnecessary antibiotics. These practices promote both animal health and welfare. Additionally, 4Life’s environmental practices and eco-friendly commitments are outlined here.

UEP Animal Welfare Standards Include:

• Adequate space, clean water, and nutrient-rich feed

• No use of hormones or antibiotics for production

• Disease prevention and humane handling protocols

• Proper lighting cycles for natural behaviors

Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility

4Life also takes significant steps to reduce its environmental impact beyond ethical animal treatment. For instance, all low-density polyethylene (LDPE) packaging used in their shipments is recycled, diverting approximately 450 pounds of plastic from landfills every month. They actively invest in renewable manufacturing and responsible sourcing, reflecting a broader commitment to sustainability.
