Based in New York City, NY, Helaina™ is a biotechnology company using precision fermentation to create human bioactive compounds as ingredients for dietary supplement and food and beverage applications. Helaina is focused on the components of human colostrum, the first milk produced by mothers. The company’s replicated human bioactive proteins precisely mirror their native counterparts for optimal absorption and effectiveness. This is a new approach to wellness with human-equivalent proteins as nutrients. 

effera™ human lactoferrin is Helaina’s first ingredient. ​Lactoferrin is an iron-regulating protein that sequesters and releases iron, which translates into benefits such as:  

• ​​​Supporting a balanced immune and inflammatory response*​​ 

• ​​​Supporting oxygen delivery to the muscles*​​ 

• Supporting healthy iron levels in pregnant, pre, and post-menopausal women* 

• Promoting a balanced gut function and vaginal microbiome* 

effera™ human lactoferrin has potential applications across women’s health, active nutrition, and healthy aging.
