    What Is TIP?

    The Tolerance Induction Program™ (TIP) is a safe and effective food allergy treatment that helps children and young adults overcome their severe food allergies, typically within 2.5 -4 years*.

    TIP uses highly customized plans, supervised in-office visits, and regulated at-home dosing to help food allergy patients achieve remission (food freedom). After completing the program, 99% of TIP patients are able to eat as freely as a non-allergic person.

    Regardless of pre-existing conditions or the number of food allergies a patient has, TIP can help.

    *Treatment duration varies by patient.

    Why Patients Choose TIP

    Our approach to severe food allergy treatment is unlike any other immunotherapy available.

    • Consistent, Precision Care
      Where other immunotherapies vary from practice to practice, TIP uses precision medicine to uphold a consistent quality of care for all patients.

    • Proven Success Rate
      With more than 8,000 patients in remission, the Tolerance Induction Program has the highest global success rate (99%) of any food allergy treatment.

    • Unparalleled Safety
      Traditional immunotherapy can result in a number adverse reactions ranging from GI issues to anaphylaxis. TIP is the safest treatment option available with reaction rates less than 1%.

    • Food Freedom
      OIT and similar therapies aim to desensitize patients to protect them from “accidental exposure.” Through TIP, patients can eat as freely as a non-allergic person would.

    How TIP Works

    Using extensive patient data, we create safe treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique immune system.

    TIP is not an exposure therapy like OIT. With the Tolerance Induction Program™ (TIP), patients build a tolerance to their allergens through the escalation of food proteins similar in structure to their allergens (biosimilar proteins). This means patients can safely desensitize their immune system before they ever begin dosing their allergens.
