Chicken salad itself is typically gluten-free, as it usually consists of chicken, mayonnaise, and various vegetables or fruits. However, it’s important to check the specific ingredients used, as some additions like croutons or certain seasonings may contain gluten, and cross-contamination can occur during preparation if gluten-containing foods are prepared in the same area.
Lean protein source: Chicken is a lean meat that provides essential amino acids for muscle growth and repair.
Low in saturated fat: When prepared with skinless chicken breast, it’s low in unhealthy fats.
Rich in vitamins and minerals: Chicken contains vitamins B3, B6, and B12, as well as minerals like selenium and phosphorus.
Versatile nutrition: Adding vegetables to the salad increases fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants.
Hydration: Many chicken salad recipes include water-rich vegetables, contributing to daily fluid intake.
Weight management: The protein and fiber content can help you feel full and satisfied, potentially aiding in weight control.
Heart health: When prepared with healthy fats (like olive oil), it can contribute to cardiovascular health.
Energy boost: The combination of protein and complex carbohydrates provides sustained energy.
Bone health: Chicken contains phosphorus, which is important for bone health.
Immune support: The protein in chicken helps maintain a healthy immune system.
Digestive health: If made with yogurt-based dressing, it can provide probiotics for gut health.Remember, the overall healthiness of chicken salad depends on the ingredients and preparation method used.

Individuals with poultry allergies
People with certain gastrointestinal conditions that require a low-fat diet (as chicken salad can be high in fat)
Those following a strict kosher or halal diet (depending on how the chicken is prepared)
Individuals trying to avoid processed foods (if the salad contains store-bought mayonnaise or other processed ingredients)Remember, the exact list may vary depending on the specific ingredients used in the chicken salad recipe.

What is Tolerase® G?

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 ).
