Pregnant women: Due to the potential hormonal effects of flax seed, pregnant women should consult their healthcare provider before consuming it.
Breastfeeding mothers: As with pregnancy, breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before adding flax seed to their diet.
People with hormone-sensitive cancers: Flax seed contains phytoestrogens, which may affect hormone levels and potentially impact hormone-sensitive cancers like breast, ovarian, or prostate cancer.
Individuals with bleeding disorders: Flax seed may have blood-thinning properties, so people with bleeding disorders or those taking blood-thinning medications should consult their doctor.
People with low blood pressure: Flax seed may lower blood pressure, so individuals with already low blood pressure should be cautious.
Those with diabetes: While flax seed can be beneficial for diabetes management, it may affect blood sugar levels, so diabetics should monitor their levels closely when adding flax to their diet.
Individuals scheduled for surgery: Due to its potential blood-thinning effects, flax seed should be avoided for at least two weeks before scheduled surgery.
People with gastrointestinal issues: Some individuals may experience digestive discomfort when consuming flax seed, especially in large amounts.
Those with known allergies to flax seed: Obviously, anyone with a known allergy to flax seed should avoid it entirely.
Children: Flax seed should be given to children only under medical supervision due to its potential hormonal effects.Always consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have any existing health conditions or concerns.

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 ).
