# Helaina

> Helaina is partnering to advance science-based early-life and lifelong nutrition through bio-identical human proteins made with precision fermentation. Its flagship ingredient, effera®, is the world's first bio-identical human lactoferrin — designed to match the lactoferrin naturally found in mother's milk and the human body.

Helaina designs proteins from the human blueprint so they are functionally equivalent to the proteins naturally found in the human body. effera® lactoferrin is produced via precision fermentation (not extracted from cow's milk) and is designed for superior absorption compared with bovine alternatives.

Helaina and Nestlé partner to advance science-based early-life nutrition — a milestone collaboration bringing bio-identical human lactoferrin to early-life and lifelong health.
