Effect of proximity-induced unconventional p-wave superconductivity in a three-dimensional topological insulator-based S/F/S structure on the Andreev bound states (ABSs) and Josephson supercurrent is studied. We investigate, in detail, the suppression of Andreev reflection and helical ABSs in the presence of three types of triplet superconducting gap. The magnetization of ferromagnetic section is perpendicular to the surface of junction. The influence of such features on the supercurrent flow on the surface of the topological insulator is studied. We carry out our goal by introducing a relevant form of Dirac spinors for gapless renormalized by chemical potential μ excitation states. Therefore, it enables us to consider the virtual Andreev process, simultaneously, and we propose to investigate it in a tunneling conductance junction. It is shown that the results obtained in this case are completely different from those in conventional superconductivity, as s- or d-waves, for example, the magnetization is found to decrease the gap for px and px+ipy case, whereas increase it for py order. Strongly suppressed Andreev reflection is demonstrated.
