Miso paste itself is typically gluten-free as it’s made from fermented soybeans, rice, or other ingredients that don’t contain gluten. However, some varieties of miso may contain barley or other gluten-containing grains, so it’s important to check the label or confirm with the manufacturer if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Can be a good source of B vitamins, especially B12 for vegetarians and vegansRemember that while miso has many potential health benefits, it’s also high in sodium, so it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
People with soy allergies: Miso is made from soybeans, so those with soy allergies should avoid it entirely.
Individuals on low-sodium diets: Miso is high in sodium, which may be problematic for those with hypertension or other conditions requiring sodium restriction.
People taking MAOIs (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors): Miso contains tyramine, which can interact dangerously with these medications.
Individuals with thyroid issues: Soy products like miso may interfere with thyroid hormone absorption in some people.
Those with compromised immune systems: Unpasteurized miso contains live cultures, which could potentially cause issues for immunocompromised individuals.
People with kidney problems: The high sodium and potassium content in miso may be problematic for those with kidney disease.
Individuals prone to gout: Miso is high in purines, which can exacerbate gout symptoms in susceptible individuals.
Those with histamine intolerance: As a fermented food, miso can be high in histamines, which may cause issues for some people.
Pregnant women (in large amounts): While moderate consumption is generally considered safe, large amounts of miso during pregnancy may not be advisable due to its high sodium content.Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice, especially if you have specific health concerns or conditions.

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 ).
