Yes, cellulose is gluten-free. Cellulose is a plant-based fiber found in the cell walls of plants, while gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, so they are entirely different substances.
Promotes digestive health: Cellulose adds bulk to stool, helping prevent constipation and maintain regular bowel movements.
Supports weight management: It provides a feeling of fullness, potentially reducing overall calorie intake.
Helps control blood sugar levels: Cellulose can slow down the absorption of sugar, potentially benefiting those with diabetes or at risk for the condition.
May lower cholesterol: Some studies suggest that cellulose can help reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.
Supports gut microbiome: As a prebiotic fiber, cellulose can feed beneficial gut bacteria, promoting a healthy digestive system.
Aids in detoxification: It can help remove toxins and waste products from the body through regular bowel movements.
May reduce the risk of colon cancer: Some research indicates that a high-fiber diet, including cellulose, may lower the risk of colorectal cancer.
Helps maintain healthy blood pressure: A diet rich in fiber, including cellulose, is associated with lower blood pressure.
Supports healthy aging: Adequate fiber intake, including cellulose, is linked to a lower risk of age-related diseases.
Naturally calorie-free: Cellulose provides no calories, making it beneficial for those watching their calorie intake.Remember that these benefits are associated with consuming cellulose as part of a balanced diet rich in various plant-based foods.
People with cellulose allergies or sensitivities
Individuals with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, as high fiber intake may exacerbate symptoms
Those with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), as cellulose may feed harmful bacteria
People recovering from certain abdominal surgeries, as directed by their healthcare provider
Individuals on a low-fiber diet for medical reasons
Those with swallowing difficulties or at risk of choking, as some forms of cellulose can expand in the throat
People with certain digestive disorders that affect nutrient absorption, as cellulose might interfere with the absorption of some nutrients
Individuals taking certain medications that may interact with high fiber intake (always consult with a healthcare provider about potential interactions)
Those on very low-calorie diets, as cellulose may contribute to feelings of fullness without providing calories
People with severe constipation, as cellulose might worsen the condition if not accompanied by adequate fluid intakeIt’s important to note that for most healthy individuals, cellulose is safe and can be beneficial. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

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 ).
