Blue cheese dressing is typically gluten-free, as its main ingredients (blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and seasonings) do not contain gluten. However, it’s important to check the label or inquire with the manufacturer, as some brands may use gluten-containing additives or thickeners in their recipes.
Source of protein: Blue cheese contains protein, which is essential for muscle growth and repair.
Calcium content: Blue cheese is rich in calcium, which is crucial for bone health and strength.
Probiotics: The mold cultures in blue cheese can act as probiotics, potentially supporting gut health.
Vitamin B12: Blue cheese contains vitamin B12, which is important for nerve function and the formation of red blood cells.
Phosphorus: This mineral found in blue cheese helps with bone health and energy metabolism.
Vitamin K2: Blue cheese is a source of vitamin K2, which may help improve cardiovascular health.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA): Some studies suggest CLA, found in blue cheese, may have anti-inflammatory properties.
Sodium: While high sodium isn’t generally considered healthy, it’s necessary in small amounts for proper nerve and muscle function.
Antioxidants: Blue cheese contains some antioxidants that can help fight free radicals in the body.Remember, these benefits come primarily from the blue cheese itself, and the dressing often contains added fats and calories. It’s best to consume blue cheese dressing in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

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 ).
