Lecithin itself is naturally gluten-free, as it is derived from sources like soybeans, eggs, or sunflower seeds which do not contain gluten. However, it’s always important to check product labels or with manufacturers to ensure there has been no cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients during processing, especially for those with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity.
Supports brain health: Lecithin contains choline, which is essential for brain function and may help improve memory and cognitive performance.
Promotes liver health: It may help prevent fatty liver disease by aiding in the breakdown and transport of fats.
Improves cholesterol levels: Lecithin might help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase HDL (good) cholesterol.
Enhances digestion: It can help emulsify fats, potentially improving digestion and nutrient absorption.
Supports heart health: By improving cholesterol levels and aiding in fat metabolism, lecithin may contribute to better cardiovascular health.
Boosts immune function: Some studies suggest lecithin may enhance the body’s immune response.
Aids in stress management: It may help reduce cortisol levels, potentially alleviating stress and anxiety.
Supports skin health: Topical application of lecithin can help moisturize and protect the skin.
May alleviate menopausal symptoms: Some women report reduced hot flashes and improved mood with lecithin supplementation.
Potential benefits for neurological disorders: Research suggests possible benefits for conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.
People with soy allergies: Many lecithin supplements are derived from soybeans, so those with soy allergies should avoid soy-based lecithin.
Individuals with egg allergies: Some lecithin is derived from egg yolks, so those with egg allergies should avoid egg-based lecithin.
People with a history of kidney stones: Lecithin contains high levels of phosphorus, which may increase the risk of kidney stone formation in susceptible individuals.
Those with certain bleeding disorders: Lecithin may have a blood-thinning effect, so people with bleeding disorders or those taking blood-thinning medications should consult their doctor before using lecithin supplements.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women: There is limited research on the safety of lecithin supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so these groups should consult with a healthcare provider before use.
People with liver disease: Some studies suggest that high doses of lecithin might affect liver function, so those with liver issues should be cautious.
Individuals with bipolar disorder: There is some concern that lecithin might worsen symptoms of mania in people with bipolar disorder.
Those with low blood pressure: Lecithin might lower blood pressure, so people with already low blood pressure should be cautious.Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions or are taking medications.

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 ).
