Is Gelatine Gluten Free?
Gelatin is generally considered gluten-free as it is derived from animal collagen, typically from cow or pig bones and skin. However, it’s always important for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity to check product labels and manufacturing processes, as cross-contamination can occur during production or processing.
Promotes joint health: Contains amino acids that may help reduce joint pain and inflammation
Supports skin health: Rich in collagen, which may improve skin elasticity and hydration
Aids digestion: May help soothe and heal the gut lining
Supports bone health: Contains minerals like calcium and magnesium that contribute to bone strength
Improves sleep quality: Contains glycine, an amino acid that may promote better sleep
Supports hair and nail growth: Provides proteins essential for healthy hair and nail growth
Assists in weight management: High protein content may increase feelings of fullness
Supports liver health: Contains glycine, which may help protect the liver from toxins
Improves cognitive function: Contains amino acids that may support brain health
Aids in muscle recovery: Provides amino acids necessary for muscle repair and growth
Supports heart health: May help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease
Boosts metabolism: The protein in gelatin can help increase metabolic rate
Supports hormone balance: May help balance hormones due to its amino acid contentRemember that while gelatin offers these potential benefits, it should be part of a balanced diet and not relied upon as a cure-all or replacement for medical treatment.
Vegetarians and vegans, as it is derived from animal products
People following a kosher diet, as most gelatine is not kosher-certified
People following a halal diet, unless the gelatine is specifically halal-certified
Individuals with alpha-gal syndrome, who are allergic to mammalian products
Those with religious or cultural beliefs that prohibit the consumption of animal-derived products
People with ethical concerns about animal welfare in food production
Individuals with severe allergies to specific animals from which gelatine may be derived (e.g., fish gelatine for those with fish allergies)
Those following certain types of plant-based or whole food diets
People with concerns about the potential transmission of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), although this risk is considered extremely low with modern production methods
Individuals who experience digestive discomfort or sensitivity to gelatine, though this is relatively uncommonRemember that alternatives to gelatine exist for most applications, such as agar-agar, carrageenan, or pectin, which may be suitable for those avoiding animal-derived products.

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 ).
