Modified corn starch is typically gluten-free, as it is derived from corn which does not naturally contain gluten. However, it’s always important to check product labels or contact manufacturers to confirm, as there is a small risk of cross-contamination during processing in facilities that also handle gluten-containing grains.

Gluten-free: Safe for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity
Low in calories: Can be used as a low-calorie thickening agent
Easily digestible: Breaks down more readily than unmodified starches
Helps maintain blood sugar levels: Has a lower glycemic index compared to regular corn starch
Improves texture in foods: Can enhance mouthfeel and consistency in various products
Extends shelf life: Helps preserve food quality for longer periods
Allows for reduced fat content: Can be used as a fat replacer in some food products
Resists breakdown at high temperatures: Useful in cooking and food processing
Non-allergenic: Generally well-tolerated by most people
Provides dietary fiber: Some types of modified corn starch can act as a source of resistant starchIt’s important to note that while these points highlight potential benefits, modified corn starch is primarily a functional ingredient rather than a health food. Its main purpose is to improve food quality and manufacturing processes.
People with corn allergies: Modified corn starch is derived from corn, so those with corn allergies should avoid it.
Individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity: While corn itself is gluten-free, there’s a risk of cross-contamination during processing, so it’s best to choose certified gluten-free products.
Those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet: Modified corn starch is high in carbohydrates and may not fit into these dietary plans.
People with diabetes: Modified corn starch can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, so diabetics should consume it in moderation and under medical supervision.
Individuals with digestive sensitivities: Some people may experience bloating, gas, or other digestive issues when consuming modified corn starch.
Those seeking to avoid genetically modified organisms (GMOs): Much of the corn used for modified starch is genetically modified, so those avoiding GMOs should look for organic or non-GMO certified products.
People on a whole foods or clean eating diet: Modified corn starch is a highly processed ingredient and may not align with these dietary approaches.
Individuals with certain rare metabolic disorders: Some metabolic conditions may require limiting or avoiding certain types of starches.Always consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian if you have concerns about consuming modified corn starch or any other food ingredient.

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 ).
