Summary

This completed study tested whether taking a daily dietary supplement called 4Life Transfer Factor Vista could increase skin carotenoid levels, which are markers of antioxidant status. Twenty-four healthy adults took the supplement for 8 to 12 weeks. Researchers measured skin carotenoids using two non-invasive devices: a Veggie Meter and a Samsung Watch. The study also looked at changes in eye health in a small subgroup.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
4Life Transfer Factor Vista (bovine colostrum, egg yolk, bilberry, black currant, lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamins A, C, E, zinc, copper)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that the supplement boosts skin antioxidant levels, potentially supporting skin health.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study with only 24 healthy adults. Results may not apply to the general population, and the devices used are not standard medical tools.
