GROWHAPPY LAUNCHES DURING ALLERGY AWARENESS WEEK TO HELP FAMILIES FEED ALLERGENS EARLY & OFTEN(TM)

Groundbreaking line of Allergen ImmunoButters(TM) formulated by world-leading pediatric allergists help families get ahead of food allergies

AUSTIN, Texas, May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for Allergy Awareness Week (May 11-17, 2025), GrowHappy® is proud to launch its groundbreaking line of Allergen ImmunoButters(TM)--nutrient-packed spreads formulated to help families get allergens into their child's diet Early & Often(TM). Research shows that early introduction of allergens in the first year of life, ideally as early as 4-6 months of age, and keeping them in the diet is an effective way to train the immune system while it is still developing. Created and co-founded by world's top pediatric allergy experts, GrowHappy strives to help families find food freedom.

Grounded in cutting-edge research and guided by world-renowned allergy experts, GrowHappy makes early allergen introduction safe, simple, and nourishing. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends introducing potentially allergenic foods when other complementary foods are introduced to an infant's diet. The American Academy of Pediatrics also supports that we should not delay the introduction of allergenic foods once the baby is eating.

"Leading allergy experts and pediatricians agree - feed allergens Early & Often from 4 months to train the immune system, when developmentally appropriate," says Professor George du Toit, pediatric allergist, author of LEAP and EAT-On studies - and founding member of GrowHappy's ImmunoNutrition Squad.

GrowHappy is launching with five key allergen snacks: Egg, Peanut, Walnut, Cashew, and Sesame. Designed for versatility, the Allergen ImmunoButters(TM) can be mixed into breastmilk, formula, water, yogurt, oatmeal, or a smoothie, spread on toast, or enjoyed straight from the packet with a spoon. Each allergen snack is packed with 2-4 unique fruits and/or vegetables with 16 plant-based foods across the range. GrowHappy calls it ImmunoNutrition: Precise doses of simple and varied ingredients fed Early & Often(TM) to open up a world of food.

Available through a monthly subscription box, GrowHappy helps parents consistently feed allergens Early & Often(TM) through the early years of childhood with LEAP-aligned doses to train the immune system that allergens are just nutritious foods, and that there is no need for the immune system to go on overdrive. GrowHappy also helps families offer a diverse range of plant-based foods which support a healthy gut microbiome.

"We can train the immune system while it's still developing," says Professor David Fleischer, with Professor Carina Venter adding, "GrowHappy is all about nourishing the immune system and promoting a healthy gut microbiome."

Founded by Stephanie Wibom, a mother who refused to accept that her daughter would live a life limited by food allergies, GrowHappy is her mission in motion. After her daughter had an allergic reaction, she sought answers from top allergy experts. She learned that the allergens she once feared were actually a big part of the solution. Over time, her family found food freedom without any food allergies. With the guidance of GrowHappy's internationally recognized pediatric allergy experts, with whom she co-founded the company, GrowHappy is grounded in research and powered by purpose.

The GrowHappy ImmunoNutrition Squad includes the world's leading allergy researchers and clinicians, who have written many of the most important studies on food allergies:

        College London
