Bulgogi itself is typically gluten-free, as it’s primarily made with marinated meat (usually beef) and doesn’t contain wheat-based ingredients. However, the marinade used for bulgogi may sometimes contain soy sauce, which often contains wheat, so it’s important to check the specific recipe or ask about ingredients if you’re strictly avoiding gluten.
High-quality protein source: Beef provides essential amino acids for muscle growth and repair
Rich in iron: Helps prevent anemia and supports oxygen transport in the body
Good source of zinc: Supports immune function and wound healing
Contains vitamin B12: Important for nerve function and red blood cell formation
Low in carbohydrates: Suitable for low-carb diets
Provides selenium: An antioxidant that supports thyroid function and immune system
Contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA): May have anti-inflammatory and fat-burning properties
Offers niacin (vitamin B3): Supports energy metabolism and skin health
Provides phosphorus: Important for bone health and cellular function
Marinade often includes garlic and ginger: Both have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
Often served with vegetables: Increases fiber and nutrient intake
Grilling method: Can reduce fat content compared to other cooking methods
Moderate portion sizes: Encourages balanced eating when consumed as part of a traditional Korean mealRemember that the health benefits can vary depending on the specific recipe, cooking method, and portion size.
Vegetarians and vegans, as bulgogi is a meat-based dish
People with beef allergies or sensitivities
Individuals following a low-sodium diet, as the marinade often contains soy sauce
Those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, unless gluten-free soy sauce is used
People on low-fat or heart-healthy diets, as bulgogi can be high in saturated fats
Individuals with certain religious dietary restrictions that prohibit beef consumption
Those following a low-carb or keto diet, as the marinade often contains sugar
People with diabetes who need to monitor their sugar intake
Individuals with gout or high uric acid levels, as red meat can exacerbate symptoms
Those with certain gastrointestinal issues who may have trouble digesting red meat
People taking certain medications that interact with high-protein foods
Individuals with a history of colorectal cancer or at high risk for it, as high red meat consumption is a potential risk factorRemember that many of these concerns can be addressed by modifying the recipe or consuming bulgogi in moderation. Always consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized advice.

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 ).
