Advanced nutrition for vitality
Our technology platform replicates functional proteins found in the human body, making them available as new nutrients.
THE NEXT GENERATION OF NUTRITION
Effera™ Human Lactoferrin
Human Lactoferrin is naturally present throughout the body and is highly concentrated in human colostrum. Like Omega-3 fatty acids or prebiotics, Human Lactoferrin plays an important role in keeping you healthy. Preclinical and clinical studies show that Lactoferrin can optimize iron utilization, maintain healthy gut function, support immune health and more.*
By replicating Human Lactoferrin, Helaina’s Effera™ opens access to this functional ingredient for the first time, creating a new paradigm for nutrition.
*Studies done on bovine and human lactoferrin.

What are bioactive proteins?
Effera™ is a bioactive protein. The Office of Dietary Supplements at the NIH has defined bioactive compounds as constituents in foods or dietary supplements other than those needed to meet basic human nutritional needs, which are responsible for changes in health status.
An example of bioactives are Omega-3s like DHA, found in fish oil and algae, which are known to support brain health.
