the formula behind the formula.
THPP is built for those competing against others - and themselves. For people who know their edge matters. For people who refuse to settle for average when precision is possible. For people who understand that their biology is the foundation of everything they're building - and they're not leaving it to chance.
If that’s you..
Welcome to THPP.
why thpp exists
I've worked in pharmacies since I was 15.
Two afternoons a week after school, Saturdays, eventually full-time. I knew every "top-of-class" retail vitamin brand. I could rattle off which multivitamin was "best" and why people should take this over that. I thought I knew supplements.
Then in 2018, I started working at a compounding pharmacy focused on integrative health.
My first day, my first sale: $400 for practitioner-grade fish oil. I nearly choked. Four hundred dollars. For fish oil.
They sold probiotics that cost five times my hourly rate. Their prescription dispensary? About 12 products total. Everything else was custom-compounded for individual patients. This wasn't a pharmacy. This was a different universe.
Around the same time, I was introduced to a researcher studying chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. During our conversation, they mentioned something that stopped me cold:
They'd identified six core amino acids that were consistently depleted in elite athletes and racehorses.
These weren't obscure molecules. These were compounds with serious research behind them (mechanisms that could genuinely improve recovery, energy production, cellular repair). Real, measurable effects.
I had to sign an NDA because the research was still confidential. But I couldn't stop thinking about it.
If these six amino acids are critical for high performance recovery (documented in actual elite athletes) why have I never seen them in a single retail product?
I started looking at supplement shelves differently.
All those "performance support" formulas? Generic ingredients. Trendy adaptogens. Maybe some B vitamins if you're lucky. The same compounds repeated across fifty different brands with fifty different labels.
Nothing targeted. Nothing specific. Nothing that acknowledged the nuance of what high-output living actually demands from the body.
And here's what really got me: Retail wasn't even trying to bridge that gap.
They weren't formulating for people operating at 10x intensity. They were formulating for the masses - people with average stress and average recovery demands.
Generic products for generic outcomes.
But compounding? Compounding was different.
Compounding (within reason) is basically like making your own supplement. Tailored to your physiology, your demands, your specific gaps. Not what fits on a shelf. Not what tests well with focus groups.
Why would you settle for average when you could have the most specific thing for you?
That's when I realised something that completely changed how I saw the supplement industry:
Retail isn't keeping up with what's actually possible.
Research is moving faster than retail can adapt.
New mechanisms are being discovered.
New compounds are being validated.
But retail brands are stuck.. locked into mass production, marketing cycles, and profit margins that don't allow for precision.
They can't afford to formulate for you specifically. They have to formulate for everyone generally.
And high performers? High performers are the ones paying the price.
You're operating at an intensity that demands precision. Your recovery windows matter. Your cognitive performance matters. Your resilience under pressure matters.
But retail keeps selling you products formulated for people living at half your pace.
The gap between what's possible and what's available isn't small. It's massive.
I couldn't unsee it once I saw it.
WHO AM I?
I'm Helina - pharmacist, formulator, and the founder of The High Performance Pharmacy.
Bachelor of Health Science. Master of Pharmacy. Registered pharmacist for over a decade.
I’ve worked across hospital, community, and compounding, even co-founding a sterile compounding facility that became one of Australia’s largest within two years.
Behind the scenes, I’ve built protocols for some of Australia’s biggest brands, athletes and executives.
I burned out building that pharmacy.
Completely.
Sold my shares. Walked away.
Then had to rebuild my own system from scratch — hormones, sleep, focus, resilience. Everything.
That experience made one thing unmissable: the supplement industry wasn’t built for people like us.
People who demand high output and live under real pressure.
It was built to sell, not to solve.
So I built what I couldn’t find:
Formulas that actually match the biology of performance.
No filler. No trend ingredients. Every molecule earns its place.
what i believe about performance
High performance isn't about pushing harder.
It's about scaling your biology as intelligently as you scale your goals.
Your body and brain have to keep up with your ambition, your drive, your obsession. Because if you don't have your health, you can't execute on any of it.
Status through science.
Inside THPP, status isn't what you wear—it's what your system can sustain.
You don't chase hype. You embody mastery.
Whether you're an athlete chasing podiums, an executive building empires, or an entrepreneur scaling ventures—your edge lives in your ability to perform consistently at the highest level.
And that starts with your biology.
Science is advancing faster than most people realize. Biomarkers, wearables, data-driven optimization—these aren't gimmicks. They're tools that let you take charge of your health with precision.
The data is what we harness to dial your stack in, get the precision just right, and turn up the results.
No more guessing. No more "good enough."
Precision is your leverage. "Good enough" isn't good. Period.
This is the standard now. We're raising the bar.
Bro science and biohacking can help you think about things differently. But there's nothing as good for you as custom.
Custom is the gold standard.
why i left retail thinking behind
We're not waiting for academia to catch up.
We're not following retail hype.
We're building the middle ground—clinical precision that moves fast.
At THPP, we use your biomarkers, your performance data, your health history, and your goals to design supplement protocols that are tailored specifically to you.
Not what fits on a shelf. Not what tests well with focus groups.
What your body actually needs.
We don't guess. We don't hope. We engineer.
