Is Mayonnaise Gluten Free?
Generally speaking, plain mayonnaise is gluten-free as its main ingredients (oil, egg yolks, and vinegar or lemon juice) do not contain gluten. However, it’s always important to check the label of specific brands, especially for flavored varieties, as some may contain gluten-containing additives or be produced in facilities that process gluten-containing products.

Source of healthy fats: Made with oil, mayonnaise contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which can be beneficial for heart health when consumed in place of saturated fats.
Vitamin E: Mayonnaise contains vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage and supports immune function.
Vitamin K: Some mayonnaise contains vitamin K, which is important for blood clotting and bone health.
Omega-3 fatty acids: If made with certain oils like canola or soybean oil, mayonnaise can provide some omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for brain and heart health.
Helps absorb nutrients: The fat in mayonnaise can help the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) from other foods eaten alongside it.
Energy source: As a high-calorie food, mayonnaise can provide quick energy.
Potentially lower cholesterol: Some studies suggest that replacing carbohydrates with monounsaturated fats (found in mayonnaise) may help lower bad cholesterol levels.
Flavor enhancement: While not a direct health benefit, mayonnaise can make healthier foods more palatable, potentially increasing the consumption of nutritious foods like vegetables.It’s important to note that these benefits should be weighed against the high calorie and fat content of mayonnaise, and it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Individuals with egg allergies, as most mayonnaise contains eggs
People with high cholesterol levels, due to the high fat content in mayonnaise
Those on a low-fat diet or trying to lose weight
Individuals with compromised immune systems, as raw eggs in homemade mayonnaise can pose a risk of salmonella
People with lactose intolerance, if the mayonnaise contains milk products (some varieties do)
Those following a vegan diet, as traditional mayonnaise contains animal products
Individuals with soybean allergies, as some mayonnaise brands use soybean oil
People with a history of heart disease or at high risk for cardiovascular problems, due to the high saturated fat content
Those with diabetes who need to manage their fat intake
Pregnant women, if consuming homemade mayonnaise with raw eggs (due to the risk of salmonella)
Individuals on a low-sodium diet, as some mayonnaise brands can be high in sodiumRemember that store-bought mayonnaise is generally safer than homemade versions due to pasteurization processes, but it’s still high in calories and fat.

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 ).
