GcMAF is administered by subcutaneous (SC) or intramuscular (IM) injection, 2-3 times per week (or as prescribed by the treating medical doctor) using a Size 26G x 1/2″ (0.45 x 13 mm) or Size 27G needle with a 2.5 ml or 1 ml syringe (single use, sterile disposable). The larger 2.5 ml syringe is easier to use due to the shorter plunger stroke distance necessary during injection. Diabetes needles may also be sufficient for administration of GcMAF, although these are a finer needle.
Treatment in our clinics has also been by intravenous (IV) and intratumoral (IT) injection, although IM and SC injection is by far the most common means of administration for most patients. Good aseptic technique using pharmaceutical ethanol (ethyl alcohol) to swab the top of vials before inserting needles is required when using the vials.
Various other methods of administration are possible:
Inhalation of GcMAF using a Nebulizer
Another option of administration is using a Nebulizer to activate macrophages in the bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT) of the lungs, for example, using a device such as the Omron NE-U22 Portable Nebuliser. This method of administration is particularly well suited to diseases of the lungs where local administation can have greater effect.

Oral administration using Colostrum MAF in Enteric capsules
Saisei Mirai Oral Colostrum MAF in Enteric capsules provides another means of administation in the Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT).
When we swallow Colostrum MAF orally by mouth inside the Enteric capsule (which doesn’t get digested in the acid environment of the stomach), the Colostrum MAF reaches the gut and activates macrophages in the Peyer’s Patches in the Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT). The gut-associated lymphoid tissue accounts for about 70 % of our body’s immune system. Oral administration is best on an empty stomach before food in the morning, before bedtime or about 30 minutes before meals to allow quicker passage of the capsule through the stomach to the gut.
Oral administration using Colostrum MAF powder in the mouth
In the mouth and throat there is the lymphoid tissue which contains macrophages. When we administer oral Colostrum MAF powder by opening the capsules and putting the powder in our mouth for 15-20 minutes, or longer, these macrophages become activated. It’s also possible that some GcMAF is absorbed sublingually through the blood vessels in the mouth, however the activation of macrophages in the lymphoid tissue of the throat is believed to be the most important method. Lymphoid tissue is the part of the body’s immune system that is important for the immune response and helps protect it from infection and foreign bodies. For example, people who suffer from Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and Immunoglobulin M (IgM) deficiency can benefit from this form of administration.
