We aren't just advancing nutrition.
We're making it human.
Human biology isn't a problem to be solved. It's a language to be spoken.
Your body naturally makes powerful proteins to keep you healthy. One of the most important is lactoferrin, a key defender of your immune system found in its highest concentrations in mother's milk. Until recently, the only supplemental versions came from cows.
Helaina was founded to change that. We use science not to find a substitute, but to create a protein that is intelligently designed to be functionally equivalent to the one your body already knows.
Our first breakthrough is effera™, a bio-identical lactoferrin. It’s the first proof point of a new era in nutrition. Not similar. Bio-identical.

Accepted
by Your Body
Our clinical studies confirm the body's immune system recognizes effera™
as self, showing no signs of rejection.
The protein your body
already knows.
effera™ is the world's first bio-identical lactoferrin, a foundational protein your body already knows, now made possible through precision fermentation. We didn't just discover another nutrient; we built from the human blueprint to create a protein that is functionally equivalent to your own. When you end the biological friction, the results are undeniable.









Nutrition that your body
can call its own
