Yes, amaranth is naturally gluten-free. It is a pseudocereal that does not contain the proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye that trigger gluten sensitivities and celiac disease.
High in protein: Contains all essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source
Rich in fiber: Promotes digestive health and helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels
Gluten-free: Suitable for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity
High in antioxidants: Helps protect cells from oxidative stress and inflammation
Good source of minerals: Rich in iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and manganese
Contains lysine: An amino acid often lacking in other grains, important for protein synthesis
May lower cholesterol: Studies suggest it can reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol levels
Anti-inflammatory properties: May help reduce inflammation in the body
Blood pressure regulation: Contains peptides that may help lower blood pressure
Supports bone health: Rich in calcium and magnesium, important for bone strength
Weight management: High fiber and protein content may help with feelings of fullness
Blood sugar control: Low glycemic index, potentially beneficial for diabetics
Supports immune function: Contains immune-boosting nutrients like vitamin C and zinc
Skin health: Rich in vitamin E, which supports skin health and appearance
May have anti-cancer properties: Some studies suggest potential anti-cancer effects, though more research is neededRemember to consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet.
People with known allergies to amaranth or other pseudocereals
Individuals with kidney problems, as amaranth is high in oxalates which can contribute to kidney stone formation
Those with gout or a history of uric acid kidney stones, due to amaranth’s purine content
People on a low-protein diet, as amaranth is relatively high in protein
Individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should ensure the amaranth is not cross-contaminated with gluten-containing grains
Those taking blood-thinning medications like warfarin, as amaranth is high in vitamin K which can interfere with these drugs
People with nitrate sensitivity, as amaranth leaves contain nitrates
Individuals on a low-FODMAP diet, as amaranth contains some FODMAPs
Those with compromised immune systems should be cautious with raw amaranth sprouts due to potential bacterial contamination
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before consuming large amounts of amaranthIt’s always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have any pre-existing 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 ).
