Miso paste is traditionally made from fermented soybeans and koji (a type of fungus), which are naturally gluten-free ingredients. However, some varieties of miso paste may contain barley or other gluten-containing grains, so it’s important to check the label or contact the manufacturer to confirm if a specific miso paste is gluten-free.

People with high blood pressure: Miso is high in sodium, which can exacerbate hypertension.
Individuals on a low-sodium diet: Due to its high salt content, miso should be avoided by those restricting sodium intake.
People with soy allergies: Miso is made from soybeans, so those with soy allergies should avoid it.
Individuals taking MAOIs (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors): Miso contains tyramine, which can interact negatively with these medications.
Those with thyroid issues: Soy products like miso may interfere with thyroid hormone absorption.
People with certain gastrointestinal conditions: Some individuals with IBS or other digestive sensitivities may experience discomfort from fermented foods like miso.
Pregnant women (in large amounts): While moderate consumption is generally considered safe, large amounts of miso during pregnancy are not recommended due to its high sodium content.
Those following a low-FODMAP diet: Miso contains fermentable carbohydrates that may cause issues for some people with IBS.
Individuals with compromised immune systems: Unpasteurized miso contains live cultures that could potentially cause problems for immunocompromised people.Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice regarding dietary restrictions or concerns.

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 ).
