Barley grass juice powder is typically gluten-free when harvested at the young grass stage, before the grain head forms. However, there is a small risk of gluten contamination during processing or if the grass is harvested too late, so individuals with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity should exercise caution and consult the manufacturer for specific product information.

People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity: Although barley grass itself doesn’t contain gluten, there’s a risk of cross-contamination during processing.
Individuals with grass allergies: Those allergic to grasses may experience allergic reactions to barley grass.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women: Due to limited research on its effects during pregnancy and lactation, it’s best to avoid or consult a doctor.
People taking blood-thinning medications: Barley grass is high in vitamin K, which can interfere with blood-thinning medications like warfarin.
Individuals with compromised immune systems: There’s a potential risk of contamination with bacteria or mold during processing.
Those with wheat allergies: While barley grass is different from wheat, cross-reactivity is possible for some individuals.
People with specific medical conditions: Those with blood disorders, hormone-sensitive conditions, or autoimmune diseases should consult a healthcare provider before use.
Individuals scheduled for surgery: Due to its potential effects on blood clotting, it’s advisable to stop consumption at least two weeks before scheduled surgery.
Children: The safety and appropriate dosage for children have not been well-established, so parental guidance and medical advice are recommended.
People taking certain medications: Barley grass may interact with some medications, so it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider if you’re on any prescription drugs.

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 ).
