Magnesium stearate is typically gluten-free as it is derived from vegetable or animal sources and does not contain any gluten-containing ingredients. However, to ensure absolute certainty, it’s always best to check with the specific manufacturer or look for products that are explicitly labeled as gluten-free.
Magnesium (a component of magnesium stearate): – Supports bone health – Helps regulate muscle and nerve function – Aids in energy production – Assists in protein synthesis – Helps maintain a healthy heart rhythm – May help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes – Can help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety
Stearic acid (a component of magnesium stearate): – May help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels – Could potentially reduce the risk of heart disease – Acts as a source of energy for the bodyIt’s important to note that magnesium stearate itself is used in such small quantities in supplements and medications that it’s unlikely to provide these health benefits directly. The benefits listed above are associated with consuming magnesium and stearic acid from food sources or dedicated supplements, not from the trace amounts found in magnesium stearate used as an additive.
Those with known allergies or sensitivities to magnesium stearate
Individuals with severe magnesium sensitivities or allergies
People with a history of adverse reactions to magnesium-containing supplements or medications
Those with kidney problems, as they may have difficulty processing excess magnesium
Individuals on a strict low-magnesium diet for medical reasons
People with specific gastrointestinal conditions that may be aggravated by magnesium stearate
Those who are concerned about potential nutrient absorption issues (although evidence is limited)
Individuals seeking to avoid all synthetic or processed additives in their diet or supplements
People with specific religious or dietary restrictions that prohibit the consumption of animal-derived products (as some magnesium stearate is derived from animal sources)
Those who are taking medications that may interact with magnesium (always consult with a healthcare provider)It’s important to note that for most people, the small amounts of magnesium stearate found in supplements and medications are generally considered safe. However, if you have concerns, it’s best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

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 ).
