Active yeast itself is naturally gluten-free. However, some commercially packaged active yeast products may contain additives or be processed in facilities that also handle gluten-containing ingredients, so it’s important to check the label or contact the manufacturer to ensure the specific product is gluten-free.
Rich source of B vitamins: Active yeast is high in B-complex vitamins, including B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B9 (folate).
High in protein: It contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source.
Provides minerals: Active yeast is a good source of minerals like selenium, chromium, zinc, and iron.
Supports digestive health: It may help promote beneficial gut bacteria and improve digestion.
Boosts immune system: The beta-glucans in yeast can help stimulate the immune system.
May lower cholesterol: Some studies suggest it can help reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.
Potential blood sugar regulation: It may help improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.
Skin health: The B vitamins and minerals in active yeast can contribute to healthier skin.
Energy production: B vitamins play a crucial role in converting food into energy.
Antioxidant properties: Active yeast contains antioxidants that can help protect cells from damage.
Potential mood enhancer: The B vitamins in yeast may help support brain function and mood regulation.
May support liver function: Some studies suggest it can help protect liver cells and support detoxification processes.Remember that while active yeast offers these potential benefits, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional before adding any new supplement to your diet, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking medications.
People with yeast allergies or sensitivities
Those with Crohn’s disease, as yeast may worsen symptoms
Individuals with candida overgrowth or recurring yeast infections
People taking certain antifungal medications, as yeast may interfere with their effectiveness
Those with compromised immune systems, as they may be more susceptible to yeast infections
Individuals following a low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet, as yeast feeds on sugars
People with inflammatory bowel diseases, as yeast may exacerbate symptoms
Those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, as some yeasts may contain traces of gluten
Individuals on immunosuppressant drugs, as they may be more prone to yeast infections
People with certain metabolic disorders that affect the processing of yeasts
Those undergoing chemotherapy, as their immune system may be weakened
Individuals with a history of fungal infectionsRemember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have underlying health conditions.

Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
