Yes, brown rice is naturally gluten-free. It’s a safe option for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, as long as it’s not contaminated during processing or preparation with gluten-containing ingredients.

Higher nutrient content: Brown rice retains its bran layer, which contains many vitamins and minerals.
Rich in fiber: The bran provides more dietary fiber than white rice, aiding digestion and promoting feelings of fullness.
Lower glycemic index: It causes a slower, more gradual rise in blood sugar compared to white rice.
Heart health: The fiber and nutrients in brown rice may help lower bad cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Weight management: Its higher fiber content can help with weight control by increasing satiety.
Antioxidants: Brown rice contains various antioxidants that can help prevent cell injury.
Manganese source: It’s an excellent source of manganese, which is important for bone health and wound healing.
Selenium content: Brown rice provides selenium, which supports thyroid function and immune health.
Whole grain benefits: As a whole grain, it may reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases.
Versatility: It can be used in various dishes and as a substitute for white rice in most recipes.
Naturally gluten-free: Safe for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
People with digestive disorders: Those with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may find brown rice harder to digest due to its high fiber content.
Individuals with rice allergies or intolerances
Those on a low-fiber diet: For medical reasons, some individuals may need to limit their fiber intake.
People with certain autoimmune conditions: Some autoimmune disorders may be aggravated by consuming grains, including brown rice.
Individuals following a low-carb or ketogenic diet: Brown rice is high in carbohydrates and may not fit into these dietary plans.

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 ).
