Is Hamburger Gluten Free?
Hamburger patties made from pure ground beef are naturally gluten-free. However, many hamburger buns contain gluten, and toppings or seasonings added to the burger may also contain gluten, so a complete hamburger meal is often not gluten-free unless specifically prepared that way.

Protein source: Hamburgers are a good source of protein, essential for muscle growth, repair, and overall body function.
Iron content: Beef patties contain iron, which is crucial for blood health and preventing anemia.
Vitamin B12: Hamburgers provide vitamin B12, important for nerve function and the formation of red blood cells.
Zinc: Beef contains zinc, which supports immune function and wound healing.
Selenium: This mineral found in beef patties acts as an antioxidant and supports thyroid function.
Energy boost: The combination of protein and carbohydrates in a hamburger can provide a quick energy boost.
Customizable nutrition: Hamburgers can be customized with various toppings like vegetables, which can add fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Satiety: The protein and fat content in hamburgers can help you feel full and satisfied, potentially reducing overall calorie intake.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA): Grass-fed beef contains CLA, which may have anti-cancer and fat-reducing properties.
Psychological satisfaction: For some, enjoying a hamburger can provide emotional comfort and satisfaction, contributing to overall well-being.Remember, these benefits are most pronounced when hamburgers are made with lean, high-quality beef and served with nutritious toppings and sides. Overconsumption or relying on fast-food hamburgers can negate many of these potential benefits.

Individuals following specific diets for religious or ethical reasons (e.g., vegetarians, vegans)
People with diabetes who need to carefully manage their carbohydrate and fat intake
Those with a history of foodborne illnesses, who should be cautious about undercooked meat
Individuals with certain autoimmune conditions that may be aggravated by red meat consumptionRemember, these are general guidelines, and individual dietary needs can vary. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized advice.

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 ).
