Facilitating early introduction of food allergens

Our Mission

Food allergies affect approximately 33 million people in the USA
The LEAP Study in 2015 indicated that introducing peanut foods to infants as early as 4 to 6 months can greatly reduce the likelihood of developing peanut allergies later in life.
Feeding children allergenic foods early, decreases their chances of developing an anaphylactic food allergy
A few culprit foods are responsible for most severe anaphylactic reactions.
It can often be difficult to introduce and maintain regular consumption of food allergens into a child's diet
Notably, around 50% of individuals allergic to peanuts may also have allergies to tree nuts

Healthy Beginnings has developed a single mix that gradually facilitates the early incorporation of peanut, cashew, pistachio, walnut, pecan, almond, hazelnut, and sesame into a child's diet.

The Introduction Pack contains multiple bottles with increasing concentrations of the listed foods.

The concentrated mix provides a way to maintain regular consumption of the listed foods

All of our ingredients are organically sourced, with no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives
