Dextrin is generally considered gluten-free as it is typically derived from corn, potato, or tapioca starch. However, in rare cases, dextrin can be made from wheat, so individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should always check product labels or contact manufacturers to confirm the source of dextrin in specific products.

Prebiotic effect: Dextrin acts as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
Improved digestion: It can help improve overall digestive health and regularity.
Blood sugar management: Some types of dextrin may help regulate blood sugar levels.
Weight management: As a soluble fiber, it can contribute to feelings of fullness and potentially aid in weight control.
Cholesterol reduction: Dextrin may help lower cholesterol levels, particularly LDL (bad) cholesterol.
Enhanced mineral absorption: It can improve the absorption of minerals like calcium and magnesium.
Immune system support: By promoting gut health, dextrin indirectly supports immune function.
Reduced inflammation: Some studies suggest dextrin may have anti-inflammatory properties.
Improved bowel function: It can help alleviate constipation and promote regular bowel movements.
Sports performance: Dextrin is sometimes used as a carbohydrate source in sports nutrition to provide energy.
Potential colon cancer prevention: Some research indicates dextrin may have a protective effect against colon cancer.Remember that the specific benefits can vary depending on the type of dextrin and individual factors. Always consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet or supplement regimen.
Those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, as some types of dextrin may be derived from wheat
Individuals with corn allergies, as corn is a common source for dextrin production
People with diabetes or pre-diabetes, as dextrin can raise blood sugar levels quickly
Those on low-carbohydrate diets, since dextrin is a carbohydrate
Individuals with digestive issues or sensitivities to certain carbohydrates
People with maltodextrin intolerance, as dextrin and maltodextrin are closely related
Those with specific food allergies related to the source of the dextrin (e.g., potato or tapioca)
Individuals following a strict whole foods diet, as dextrin is a processed ingredient
People with inflammatory bowel diseases who find that certain starches exacerbate their symptoms
Those trying to avoid artificial or processed food additives in their dietIt’s important to note that not all of these apply to everyone, and the severity of the need to avoid dextrin can vary based on individual health conditions and sensitivities. Always consult with a healthcare professional 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 ).
