Is Ham Gluten Free?
Ham is generally considered gluten-free as it is made from pork and does not naturally contain gluten. However, some processed or flavored hams may contain gluten-containing additives or flavorings, so it’s always best to check the label or with the manufacturer if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Good source of protein: Ham provides essential amino acids for muscle growth and repair.
Rich in vitamins and minerals: Ham contains B vitamins (especially B1, B3, B6, and B12), zinc, selenium, and phosphorus.
Selenium content: May support thyroid function and act as an antioxidant.
Low in carbohydrates: Suitable for low-carb diets.
Provides energy: The protein and fat content can help sustain energy levels.
Contains choline: Important for brain health and development.
May aid in weight management: The high protein content can promote feelings of fullness.
Source of complete protein: Contains all essential amino acids.
Versatile food: Can be part of a balanced diet when consumed in moderation.However, it’s important to note that ham is also high in sodium and saturated fat, so it should be consumed in moderation. Lean varieties and lower-sodium options are preferable for health-conscious individuals.

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 ).
