Is Amaranth Flour Gluten Free?
Yes, amaranth flour is gluten-free. It is made from ground amaranth seeds, which are naturally free of gluten and safe for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity to consume.

High in protein: Contains all essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source
Gluten-free: Suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity
Rich in fiber: Promotes digestive health and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels
Excellent source of minerals: High in iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and manganese
Contains lysine: An amino acid often lacking in other grains, important for protein synthesis
Heart-healthy: May help lower cholesterol levels due to its fiber and phytosterol content
Antioxidant properties: Contains compounds that may help protect cells from oxidative stress
Low glycemic index: May help regulate blood sugar levels and provide sustained energy
Calcium-rich: Supports bone health and may be beneficial for those avoiding dairy
Source of folate: Important for cell growth and DNA formation, particularly during pregnancy
Anti-inflammatory properties: May help reduce inflammation in the body
Supports weight management: High fiber and protein content can increase satiety
Versatile nutrient source: Can be used in various recipes to boost nutritional valueRemember that while amaranth flour has many potential health benefits, it should be consumed as part of a balanced diet for optimal health.
People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should be cautious, as some amaranth products may be cross-contaminated with gluten-containing grains during processing.
Individuals with a known allergy to amaranth or other pseudocereals (like quinoa or buckwheat) should avoid it.
Those with kidney problems or gout should consult their doctor before consuming amaranth, as it contains moderate amounts of purines.
People on a low-oxalate diet may need to limit or avoid amaranth, as it contains oxalates.
Individuals taking blood-thinning medications should consult their healthcare provider, as amaranth is high in vitamin K, which can interfere with these medications.
Those with digestive sensitivities may need to introduce amaranth slowly, as its high fiber content can cause digestive discomfort in some people.
People following a low-carb or ketogenic diet may need to limit amaranth flour due to its carbohydrate content.
Individuals with nickel allergies should be cautious, as amaranth can accumulate nickel from soil.Always consult a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have existing health conditions or concerns.

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 ).
