Yes, palm kernel oil is gluten-free. It is derived from the kernel of oil palm fruits and does not contain any gluten proteins, making it safe for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Rich in antioxidants: Contains vitamin E and tocotrienols, which help fight free radicals and oxidative stress.
May support heart health: High in saturated fats, particularly lauric acid, which may help improve cholesterol ratios.
Potential antimicrobial properties: Lauric acid has been shown to have antimicrobial effects against certain bacteria and fungi.
Skin health: Often used in cosmetics due to its moisturizing properties and potential to improve skin texture.
May boost energy: As a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil, it can be quickly metabolized for energy.
Potential anti-inflammatory effects: Some studies suggest it may help reduce inflammation in the body.
Supports nutrient absorption: The fats in palm kernel oil can help with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K).
Heat stable: Suitable for high-temperature cooking without breaking down into harmful compounds.
May aid in weight management: MCTs in the oil might help with feeling full and potentially support weight loss efforts.
Potential neuroprotective properties: Some research suggests it may have benefits for brain health.It’s important to note that while these potential benefits exist, palm kernel oil should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Additionally, its production has raised environmental concerns, so sustainable sourcing is an important consideration.
People with nut allergies, as palm kernel oil is derived from the kernel of palm fruits and may trigger allergic reactions in some individuals sensitive to tree nuts
Those following a low-saturated fat diet, as palm kernel oil is high in saturated fats
Individuals with cardiovascular disease or at high risk for heart problems, due to its high saturated fat content
People trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, as palm kernel oil is calorie-dense
Those concerned about environmental sustainability, as palm oil production has been linked to deforestation and habitat destruction
Individuals with certain digestive issues, as the high fat content may exacerbate symptoms
People with diabetes or prediabetes, as saturated fats can affect insulin sensitivity
Those following a vegan or plant-based diet for ethical reasons, as some may object to the environmental impact of palm oil production
Individuals with a history of gallbladder issues, as high-fat foods can trigger gallbladder attacks
People trying to avoid processed foods, as palm kernel oil is commonly used in many processed and packaged productsRemember that while these points highlight groups who might want to avoid or limit palm kernel oil, individual dietary needs and restrictions can vary. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized advice.

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 ).
