Panna cotta is typically gluten-free, as it’s traditionally made with cream, milk, sugar, and gelatin, none of which contain gluten. However, it’s always important to check the specific recipe or ask about ingredients when dining out, as some variations might include gluten-containing additives or be prepared in an environment where cross-contamination could occur.

Calcium: If made with dairy milk, it provides calcium for bone health.
Protein: Dairy-based Panna Cotta contains some protein, which is essential for muscle maintenance and various bodily functions.
Probiotics: If made with yogurt, it may contain beneficial probiotics for gut health.
Antioxidants: When topped with fresh berries or fruit, it can provide antioxidants.
Vitamin D: If made with fortified milk, it can contribute to vitamin D intake.
Lower sugar option: Compared to some other desserts, it can be made with less sugar.
Gelatin benefits: The gelatin used in traditional recipes may support joint health and skin elasticity.
Portion control: Its rich texture can satisfy sweet cravings with smaller portions.
Versatility: Can be made with healthier alternatives like almond milk or low-fat dairy.
Energy: Provides some carbohydrates for energy.It’s important to note that these benefits are modest, and Panna Cotta should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Individuals with lactose intolerance: Panna Cotta is typically made with dairy products, which can cause digestive issues for those who are lactose intolerant.
People with milk allergies: Those allergic to milk proteins should avoid Panna Cotta due to its dairy content.
Vegans: Traditional Panna Cotta contains animal-derived ingredients, making it unsuitable for vegans.
Individuals on a low-fat diet: Panna Cotta is usually high in fat due to its cream content.
People watching their calorie intake: This dessert can be calorie-dense, so those on a strict calorie-controlled diet should be cautious.
Diabetics: The high sugar content in most Panna Cotta recipes may not be suitable for those managing blood sugar levels.
Individuals with gelatin allergies or sensitivities: Many Panna Cotta recipes use gelatin as a setting agent.
Those following kosher or halal diets: If the gelatin used is derived from non-kosher or non-halal sources, it may not be suitable.
People with certain religious or cultural dietary restrictions: Some may avoid Panna Cotta due to its ingredients or preparation methods.
Individuals with specific health conditions requiring low-sugar or low-fat diets: Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized dietary advice.

What is Tolerase® G?
A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
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 ).
