Au jus, which is a light gravy made from meat drippings, is typically gluten-free in its pure form. However, some commercial or restaurant versions may contain gluten if flour or other gluten-containing ingredients are added as thickeners, so it’s always best to check the ingredients or ask about preparation methods if you have gluten sensitivities.
Low in calories: Au jus is generally a low-calorie option compared to heavier gravies or sauces.
High in protein: As it’s made from meat juices, au jus contains protein, which is essential for muscle growth and repair.
Rich in minerals: Au jus can contain minerals like iron, zinc, and selenium, which are important for various bodily functions.
Hydrating: The liquid content in au jus can contribute to your daily fluid intake.

Flavor enhancer: Au jus can add flavor to dishes without the need for excessive salt or fat.
Easier digestion: The liquid nature of au jus can make it easier to digest compared to solid meats.
Potential collagen content: If made with bone-in meats, au jus may contain some collagen, which is beneficial for skin, joint, and bone health.
Low in fat: When properly prepared, au jus is typically lower in fat than cream-based sauces.
Versatile nutrient source: Au jus can be made from various meats, providing a range of nutrients depending on the source.Remember that the exact nutritional content and health benefits of au jus can vary depending on how it’s prepared and the type of meat used.

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 ).
