Last year, our whole family had covid.
At first, it was my husband. Thankfully, we had followed the usual protocols of isolating from each other and by the will of Allah, none of us family members were infected. My husband took about 2 weeks to fully recover. This was after getting all the necessary jabs, so the symptoms were not major.
FINALLY GETTING COVID
It was only several months later when covid caught up with us again. This time, funnily enough all of us got it except for my husband. It started with my son’s classmate in school and spread to the rest of the siblings and finally, me.
Getting it firsthand was terrible to say the least. I remember feeling feverish and not being able to breathe with ease like previously – needed to take deep long breaths just to breathe. Also having a deafening headache/migraine that would not go away. It was pretty scary actually. A reminder of how short life is and how good health is indeed a precious gift. All I wanted to do was lie down and sleep. The worst was the non-stop coughing until my throat became sore and scratchy.
In the midst of it, my sense of taste and smell was not affected. We (my children and I) relied on lots of honey lemon and traditional cough remedies, drinking lots of water, trying to eat as well as possible. You would think the story ends there, but nope…
POST-COVID SIDE EFFECTS
Although we managed to recover in about two weeks, the side effects persisted.
The major one for me was the endless non-stop chain coughing. The hardest part – it wasn’t any kind of normal coughs but dry cough – in Malay we call it “batuk kering”. The kind of dry coughing that wouldn’t stop. The chain coughing would stop for a while after I had exhausted all sorts of help, from eating manuka honey to making sure we had enough fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water and all that jazz.. and then returned again one week later, completely uninvited. I was also really tired from all the coughing.
Because of this my throat was frequently sore and scratchy, prompting a friend to ask if I had truly recovered properly. The covid was gone but the coughs and sore throat went on for several months.
In addition to this, my two school-going children who were generally healthy and rarely got sick, kept getting sick frequently, late last year until early this year. It was a really exhausting time for everyone.
At the same time I kept seeing stories of 4Life transfer factors popping up on my social media being shared by friends, but I did not think I would need it. However in the midst of my chain coughing and sick kids, a spark of interest appeared and I was curious. But still I ignored it until one day when…
MY SON GETS A NOSE BLEED
“Nosebleeds are usually caused by dryness of the nasal lining, together with rubbing and picking of the nose that is blocked or itchy. Blowing the nose vigorously can also cause bleeding.” -NUH
Sometime at the beginning of the year, my 7-year old started having a nose bleed, which he never had before. Since we were all experiencing post-covid symptoms, my 7 year old’s side effect was a perpetual running nose. I believe it could be that he kept blowing his nose repeatedly due to the recurring running nose until it led to a nose bleed. Somehow the sight of blood was enough to drive this exhausted mum to desperation and finally decide to give transfer factor a go. At the same time, a friend had contacted me and gave me some samples of 4life products that I never thought I would need but turned out to be vital for us at the time.
WHAT ARE TRANSFER FACTORS?
“Transfer factors are very small molecules that your immune system generates. They are not species-specific, which means that transfer factors generated by cows, chickens, and other animals can benefit the human immune system.*
Transfer factors in supplements are most commonly sourced from cow colostrum. The cow colostrum is filtered to remove ingredients such as casein and other large proteins, which allows for a high concentration of transfer factor molecules in the supplement.”
For an in-depth explanation you can read more here:

It took me a while to learn and research what it is about at first. However the more I read up for myself and gained the knowledge, I was amazed that this exists for us to benefit from. Especially at a time when we need it most, when our immune systems were compromised and the “normal” or conventional meds and other natural remedies were not as effective (in my case). Sometimes you just need the extra help and it’s completely ok to admit it.
And as a Muslim we believe that in the Quran, Allah has mentioned;
“And there is certainly a lesson for you in cattle, from whose bellies We give you ˹milk˺ to drink, and in them are many other benefits for you, and from them you may eat.” Al-Mu’minoon, verse 21
SubhanAllah, isnt’t that amazing? I would say my primary concern was when I heard colostrum, egg yolk… what? But I realized I didn’t know much about it and had merely assumed. After much research and realizing really that Allah is the One who created our immune system – and that it can benefit us because it is not species-specific, that just blew my mind because after trying 4life’s transfer factor tri-factor for myself and my family, I’m happy to report that it really works effectively. Chain coughing and sore throat no more, recurring running nose and nose bleeds gone. At the risk of sounding like an advert (which this is not), you really have to try it first and then decide for yourself whether it works or not. As everyone have different process and healing journeys with their health…

WHAT WE TRIED AND HOW TO CONSUME IT
At first we started with Riovida stix and Transfer Factor Tri-Factor while kids were as follows:
Kid 1 – feverish and runny nose, less appetite.
Kid 2 – runny nose, no fever yet
Kid 3 – fever, runny nose (teething)
Gave kid 1 and 2 Transfer Factor (TF) in powder form (take out from the capsules) with their milk that night and the next day (they also had TF with their milo at other times):
Kid 1 – fever subsided so he went to school and his appetite came back that he had extra portions of the spaghetti that I cook when he came back from school. His runny nose was also less phlegmy.
Kid 2 – after school, milk + TF again. Fever spike up a bit (hey, fevers are not all bad and rest assured I monitored him) and he went to take a nap. When he woke up a few hours later, his fever had subsided! I was really surprised and happy about this. It was also interesting to note that
Kid 3 – I started consuming RioVida stix and TF as I started to feel feverish. So kid 3 had it thru me since she’s still nursing. Alhamdulillah, her runny nose subsided and within a few days she was back to normal. Her running nose was also due to 3 molars coming out at the same time.
As for me, I added TF inside RioVida even though RioVida already have TF coz wanted to educate my (weakened) immune system and get it balanced and stronger inshaAllah.
Got my rest and Alhamdulillah my energy level was OK throughout and my fever didn’t go into a full blown one. I just had fever again the previous month so I wasn’t was keen on another one.
Another test was my husband started to feel feverish too. So of course I had to give him RioVida stix and TF inside too. He told me at work his fever spike up (just like kid 2, except he couldn’t sleep it off) but when he got home, the fever subsided! He was surprised as he was expecting to feel feverish again that night just like the day before. Alhamdulillah! Our conclusion is these products work effectively and what makes it different than others is the TF, which is also nature’s remedy SubhanAllah. ❤
I wanted to take it a step further and tried the much raved bestselling Riovida juice, the original liquid supplement with antioxidant rich super fruits with transfer factors inside (its basically like the mother of Riovida stix), and Transfer Factor Plus as these are more potent, with TF PLUS packed with mushrooms and herbs. Within two months of daily consumption of these two supplements together*, my dry coughs eventually stopped and my sore throats also lessened. Just to be able to type this without coughing or being sick is a beautiful thing. I’m just happy and grateful to have found something that works for us as a family. *Together with a balanced diet and active movement.
