Is Barley grass Gluten Free?
Barley grass, which is the young leaf of the barley plant, is generally considered gluten-free when harvested properly before the grain head forms. However, there is a risk of gluten contamination if the grass is not harvested early enough or if there are mature barley seeds mixed in with the grass, so individuals with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity should exercise caution and consult with their healthcare provider before consuming barley grass products.
Rich in nutrients: Barley grass is packed with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes.
High in antioxidants: Contains powerful antioxidants like polyphenols and flavonoids, which can help fight free radicals.
May boost immune system: The high vitamin and mineral content can help support overall immune function.
May improve digestion: Contains enzymes that could aid in digestion and gut health.
Alkalizing effect: Could help balance the body’s pH levels.
Potential anti-inflammatory properties: May help reduce inflammation in the body.
Chlorophyll content: High in chlorophyll, which may have various health benefits.
May support heart health: Contains compounds that could help lower cholesterol levels.
Some studies suggest that Barley grass has the content of insoluble fiber, a type of fiber that doesn’t dissolve in water which could reduce blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.
Supports skin health: Its nutrient profile may contribute to healthier skin.
Weight management aid: Low in calories but nutrient-dense, potentially useful for weight control.
May enhance energy levels: Due to its nutrient content, it could help boost energy and reduce fatigue.Remember, while these benefits are promising, more research is needed to fully understand and confirm many of these effects in humans.
People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity: Although barley grass itself doesn’t contain gluten, there’s a risk of cross-contamination during processing or if seeds are present in the product.
Individuals with grass allergies: Those allergic to grasses may experience allergic reactions to barley grass.
People taking blood-thinning medications: Barley grass is high in vitamin K, which can interfere with blood-thinning medications like warfarin.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women: Due to limited research on its effects during pregnancy and lactation, it’s best to avoid or consult a doctor first.
People with wheat allergies: There’s a possibility of cross-reactivity between wheat and barley grass.
Individuals with compromised immune systems: They should be cautious due to the risk of contamination in some barley grass products.
Those with certain chronic diseases: People with conditions affecting the liver, kidneys, or other organs should consult their doctor before use.
Individuals scheduled for surgery: Due to its potential effects on blood clotting, it should be avoided before and after surgery.
People with specific nutrient concerns: Those on restricted diets or with conditions affected by certain nutrients should consult a healthcare provider.
Children: Parents should consult a pediatrician before giving barley grass to children.Always consult with a healthcare professional before adding any new supplement to your diet, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions or are taking medications.

What is Tolerase® G?
A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
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 ).
