Helaina Inc

The spark for Helaina hit CEO Laura Katz on the New York City subway. She was listening to a podcast about black-market breast milk. It featured moms’ stories of going to extreme lengths to get the powerful nutritional benefits of breast milk for their babies. This made her wonder if human bioactive compounds might also serve other populations. What if we could make and scale those compounds to improve health for all phases of life?

Helaina was founded in 2019 on the premise that nutrients must be more impactful and multifunctional for all people and the planet.
