Generally, pure baking powder is gluten-free as it’s typically made from cream of tartar, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), and sometimes cornstarch, none of which contain gluten. However, it’s always important to check the label of any specific brand to ensure there are no added ingredients that might contain gluten or that it wasn’t processed in a facility that also handles gluten-containing products.

Low in calories: Baking powder contains very few calories, making it a good option for those watching their calorie intake.
Sodium-free options available: Some brands offer sodium-free baking powder, which can be beneficial for those on low-sodium diets.
Calcium and phosphorus content: Baking powder contains small amounts of calcium and phosphorus, which are essential minerals for bone health.
Potential digestive aid: Some people use baking powder (mixed with water) as a home remedy for indigestion, although this use is not scientifically proven.
Cleaning properties: While not a health benefit per se, baking powder can be used as a natural cleaning agent, potentially reducing exposure to harsh chemicals.
Oral hygiene: Some people use baking powder as a tooth whitener or mouth freshener, although it should be used cautiously to avoid damaging tooth enamel.
Fungal infection treatment: In some cases, baking powder has been used topically to treat minor fungal infections, though medical advice should be sought for proper treatment.It’s important to note that baking powder should be used in moderation and primarily for its intended purpose in baking. Overconsumption or misuse can lead to negative health effects.

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 ).
