Bread yeast itself is typically gluten-free, as it is a single-celled microorganism and does not contain gluten proteins. However, some commercial yeast products may be processed in facilities that also handle gluten-containing ingredients, so it’s important for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity to check specific product labels or contact manufacturers to ensure there is no risk of cross-contamination.
Rich source of B vitamins: Yeast is high in B-complex vitamins, including B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), and B9 (folate).
Provides protein: Yeast is a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids.
High in minerals: It contains minerals such as selenium, chromium, zinc, and magnesium.
Supports digestive health: As a probiotic, it may help maintain a healthy gut microbiome.
Boosts immune function: The beta-glucans in yeast can help stimulate the immune system.
Antioxidant properties: Yeast contains antioxidants that help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
May lower cholesterol: Some studies suggest yeast can help reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.
Potential anti-cancer properties: Certain compounds in yeast may have anti-cancer effects, though more research is needed.
Supports skin health: The B vitamins and minerals in yeast can contribute to healthy skin.
May help with anemia: Due to its high iron content, yeast may help prevent or treat iron-deficiency anemia.
Supports hair growth: The biotin (vitamin B7) in yeast is essential for healthy hair growth.Remember that these benefits are primarily associated with nutritional yeast, which is deactivated, rather than active baker’s yeast used in bread making.

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 ).
