Is Jello Gelatin Gluten Free?
Yes, Jello gelatin is typically gluten-free. The main ingredients in Jello gelatin are gelatin, sugar, and artificial flavors and colors, none of which contain gluten.
Low in calories: Plain gelatin is very low in calories, making it a potential option for those watching their calorie intake.
Protein source: Gelatin is derived from collagen and contains some protein, though it’s not a complete protein source.
May support joint health: The collagen in gelatin might help improve joint comfort and mobility.
Potential digestive benefits: Some people find gelatin easy to digest and soothing for the digestive system.
Hydration: Jello is mostly water, which can contribute to daily fluid intake.
May support skin health: The collagen in gelatin could potentially benefit skin elasticity and hydration.
Potential sleep aid: The glycine in gelatin might help improve sleep quality for some individuals.
Easy to consume: For those with difficulty eating solid foods, Jello can be an easy-to-swallow option.
Potential nail and hair benefits: The protein in gelatin may contribute to stronger nails and hair.
Blood sugar friendly: Plain, sugar-free gelatin has a minimal impact on blood sugar levels.It’s important to note that many of these benefits are associated with plain gelatin rather than flavored, sweetened Jello products, which often contain added sugars and artificial ingredients.
People with severe allergies to gelatin or its components
Vegetarians and vegans (as gelatin is derived from animal collagen)
Those following kosher or halal dietary restrictions (unless specifically certified)
Individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU), due to the presence of aspartame in some sugar-free varieties
People on certain medications that may interact with artificial colorings or sweeteners
Those with diabetes should be cautious with regular (sugar-containing) Jello
Individuals with swallowing difficulties or at risk of choking
People with certain digestive disorders who are sensitive to artificial additives
Those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet (unless it’s sugar-free Jello)
Infants under 12 months old, due to potential choking hazards
Individuals trying to avoid artificial colors or flavorsRemember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized advice regarding dietary restrictions or concerns.

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 ).
