As the year comes to a close we want to thank our partners, customers, employees, and everyone who has been part of our journey. 2024 was a transformative year and we are excited to continue that momentum in 2025. Happy holidays and cheers to 2025 from the Helaina team!

We had a great interview with Nutritional Outlook at this years SupplySide West. Check out the video below and learn about effera™ human lactoferrin, a bioactive protein that uniquely supports gut health, women's health, and so much more. Discover why human-like proteins are shaping the future of nutrition with our CEO Laura Katz

What if the powerful nutrients in breast milk could transform health for all ages? In a recent conversation with Kate Adams from Startup Success our CEO and Founder, Laura Katz talks about how Helaina is using a revolutionary platform to replicate functional proteins found in the human body. Don't miss this podcast that highlights: 🔹 Hard-fought lessons from fundraising 🔹 The surprising challenges of being a solo biotech founder 🔹 Laura’s framework for turning vision into reality 🔹 The value of mentorship and building a supportive network

effera™ is the first human-equivalent lactoferrin ingredient on the market, supported by both pre-clinical and clinical studies. effera™ helps balance iron levels by binding and releasing iron where it is needed most, making it an ideal addition to health-focused products. Why is iron optimization so important? 🔹 Fuels women’s health across all life stages 🔹 Supports an active lifestyle and faster recovery 🔹 Promotes healthy aging. Ready to elevate your next product? Discover the unique benefits of effera™ below.

Helaina's first randomized double-blind controlled clinical study to measure the body’s immune response to effera™ recently published in The International Journal of Toxicology. The results of the study demonstrated: Participants taking effera™, at both a high (3.4 g/day) and low-dose (0.34 g/day), produced no increase in antibodies against the protein, suggesting tolerability of the ingredient. Participants taking bovine lactoferrin (3.4 g/day) produced an increase in antibodies against the protein, suggesting an immunogenic response against bovine lactoferrin. No reported adverse events in any supplemented groups and safety was supported in all blood measurements including iron biomarkers   The study is the first ever to assess the immune response against an orally ingested human protein as a food ingredient. This foundational research establishes the initial case for the superiority and benefit of using human proteins to transform nutrition.
