Founding Story
David and Bianca Lisonbee founded 4Life Research, LC in 1998. Their story begins when they spent 20 years (www.mlmlegal.com) exploring nutritional supplement options for David's persistent respiratory problems. It was when the couple was knee-deep in research when they came across a reference to an obscure patent and the link to a molecule called transfer factor. By this time, David had already spent 11 years building his direct-selling business called Enrich International. David then secured the rights to the only existing transfer factor extraction process patent. In 1998, the couple made this product available to the world.
Presenting this product alone was not enough for David. So he hired a team of in-house research specialists in bio-organic chemistry, nutraceuticals, and health sciences to create a wellness revolution. .
