Traditional orange chicken is typically not gluten-free, as it often contains wheat flour in the batter and soy sauce (which usually contains wheat) in the sauce. However, it is possible to make gluten-free versions of orange chicken using alternative flours and gluten-free soy sauce substitutes.

Source of protein: Chicken is a good source of lean protein, essential for muscle building and repair.
Vitamin C: The orange sauce typically contains orange juice, providing vitamin C which supports immune function.
Low in saturated fat: When prepared with skinless chicken breast, it can be relatively low in saturated fat.
Provides energy: The combination of protein and carbohydrates can provide energy for daily activities.
Contains some vegetables: Often served with broccoli or other vegetables, adding nutritional value.
Moderate calorie option: When portion-controlled, it can be a moderate calorie meal option.
Selenium content: Chicken is a good source of selenium, an important antioxidant.
B vitamins: Chicken provides various B vitamins, supporting metabolism and energy production.
Potential mood booster: The combination of protein and carbs may help increase serotonin levels.
Zinc source: Chicken contains zinc, which is important for immune function and wound healing.However, it’s important to note that restaurant versions of Orange Chicken are often high in sugar, sodium, and calories due to breading and sweet sauce. Homemade versions can be made healthier by controlling ingredients and cooking methods.

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 ).
