Generally, most basic cocktail sauces are gluten-free as they typically contain ingredients like ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, and spices, which do not contain gluten. However, it’s always important to check the label or ingredient list of store-bought cocktail sauces, as some brands may include additives or flavorings that contain gluten.
Low in calories: Typically contains fewer calories compared to many other condiments.
Rich in vitamin C: Tomatoes, a primary ingredient, are a good source of vitamin C.
Contains lycopene: The tomatoes provide lycopene, a powerful antioxidant.
Potential anti-inflammatory properties: Horseradish, often included, may have anti-inflammatory effects.
May boost metabolism: The capsaicin in hot sauce (if included) could slightly increase metabolism.
Provides small amounts of vitamins and minerals: Includes trace amounts of various nutrients from its ingredients.
Low in fat: Generally contains very little fat.
May aid digestion: The vinegar and horseradish could potentially support digestive health.
Enhances flavor without excessive salt: Can add taste to foods without relying heavily on salt.
Potential antibacterial properties: Horseradish has been associated with some antibacterial effects.Note: While cocktail sauce can offer these benefits, it’s typically consumed in small amounts, so the effects may be limited. Also, some versions may contain added sugars or sodium, which should be consumed in moderation.
People with shellfish allergies: Cocktail sauce often contains Worcestershire sauce, which may contain anchovies or other fish products.

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 ).
