Autolyzed yeast extract is typically gluten-free, as it is derived from yeast and does not naturally contain gluten. However, it’s always best to check product labels or contact manufacturers directly to confirm gluten-free status, as cross-contamination can occur during processing or additives containing gluten may be used in some products.
Rich source of B vitamins: Provides essential B-complex vitamins, including B1, B2, B3, B6, and B9 (folate).
Contains protein: Offers a complete protein source with all essential amino acids.
Supports immune function: Contains beta-glucans, which may help boost the immune system.
Provides minerals: Contains minerals like zinc, selenium, and chromium, which are important for various bodily functions.
Natural flavor enhancer: Can be used as a healthier alternative to artificial flavor enhancers in food products.
Potential prebiotic properties: May support gut health by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria.
Antioxidant properties: Contains glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage.
May aid in stress reduction: Contains compounds that might help in managing stress and supporting adrenal function.
Potential anti-inflammatory effects: Some components may help reduce inflammation in the body.
Source of nucleotides: These compounds play a role in various cellular processes and may support immune function.It’s important to note that while these benefits exist, autolyzed yeast extract should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Some individuals may be sensitive to yeast products or have specific dietary restrictions that limit its use.
People with yeast allergies or sensitivities
Individuals following a low-sodium diet (as it can be high in sodium)
Those with Candida overgrowth or yeast infections
People on a migraine diet (as it contains glutamates which can trigger migraines in some individuals)
Individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity (unless the product is certified gluten-free)
Those following a strict vegan diet (as some forms may be derived from animal sources)
People with MSG sensitivity (as it contains naturally occurring glutamates)
Individuals on a low-FODMAP diet
Those with inflammatory bowel diseases who are sensitive to yeast products
People following specific diets that exclude fermented foods or yeast-derived productsAlways consult with a healthcare provider or registered dietitian if you have concerns about specific dietary restrictions or 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 ).
