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.

PSA from Helaina's Recruiting Team: Many cybercriminals today are using fraudulent job posts and job offers to access personal information. To keep yourself safe, we have a few helpful recommendations: Beware of fraudulent job posts! All official Helaina jobs are posted on our careers site. If you view a job post that isn't listed on our job board (https://lnkd.in/eB6wcQne) or a job posting with a different URL, the post could be a scam. Lookout for fake recruiters! When interacting with a Helaina recruiter, ensure this individual has an official "@myhelaina.com" email address. We do not use any derivatives of this address, such as "@helainadr.com." If someone claims to contact you on behalf of Helaina using a non-Helaina email address, this is a red flag!

We are headed to SupplySide West 🛩 next month and will be exhibiting for the first time. Use the link below to book a meeting 🗓 and learn about our groundbreaking ingredient effera™ - the first human equivalent lactoferrin available on the market, supported by pre-clinical and clinical studies. Lactoferrin is the most abundant protein found in colostrum which sequesters and delivers iron where it is needed most. effera™ is made from a precision fermentation process which replicates lactoferrin to ensure a highly bioavailable ingredient. Meet with us to learn how effera™ provides health benefits for gut and immune health, women's health, and active nutrition. https://lnkd.in/egqstidT
