GrowHappy Allergen ImmunoButters help you on your way to feeding a diverse diet to your child, with our 16 plant-based foods and egg. While you teach the immune system to accept the allergens, you are also improving diet diversity and fostering a healthier gut microbiome. From Professor Carina Venter’s studies, we learned that diet diversity in and of itself is fundamental to a life of food freedom.  Plus, most common allergens are rich in protein and fiber = amazing for gut health!

• Diverse diet by 18 months = 61% lower risk of food allergies

• Each additional food introduced by 6 months reduces food allergy by over 10%

• Each additional food allergen introduced by 12 months reduces food allergy by over 30%
