Is Paxlovid Gluten Free?

Paxlovid, the antiviral medication used to treat COVID-19, does not contain gluten as an ingredient. However, as with many medications, individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should consult their healthcare provider or pharmacist to confirm the gluten-free status of their specific prescription, as manufacturing processes can sometimes introduce trace amounts of gluten.

Prevents progression to severe disease: It can help keep mild to moderate cases from developing into more serious conditions.

Effective against variants: Paxlovid has shown effectiveness against multiple COVID-19 variants.

Oral medication: Being a pill, it’s easier to administer than intravenous treatments and can be taken at home.

Helps preserve hospital capacity: By reducing hospitalizations, it helps maintain healthcare system capacity.

Potential to reduce long COVID risk: While more research is needed, early treatment may help reduce the risk of long-term COVID-19 effects.

Provides treatment option for those who can’t be vaccinated: Offers a therapeutic option for individuals who cannot receive COVID-19 vaccines due to medical reasons.Remember, Paxlovid should only be used under medical supervision and is typically prescribed for individuals at high risk for severe COVID-19.

People with known hypersensitivity to nirmatrelvir, ritonavir, or any other components of Paxlovid

Individuals taking medications that are highly dependent on CYP3A for clearance and for which elevated concentrations are associated with serious reactions

People using products containing St. John’s Wort, as it may decrease Paxlovid’s effectiveness

Pregnant women, unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus

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 ).

Frequently
Asked Questions

What people should not take Paxlovid?
Paxlovid should not be taken by people with severe kidney or liver disease. It is also contraindicated for those taking certain medications that interact dangerously with Paxlovid, such as some heart rhythm drugs or cholesterol medications. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before taking Paxlovid. People with uncontrolled or undiagnosed HIV infection should avoid Paxlovid as well.
What medications should be avoided with celiac disease?
Celiac disease patients should avoid medications containing gluten as inactive ingredients. Common offenders include some vitamins, supplements, and over-the-counter drugs. It's important to carefully check medication labels or consult with a pharmacist to ensure gluten-free status. Patients should also inform their healthcare providers about their celiac disease to ensure prescribed medications are safe.
What is Paxlovid ingredients?
Paxlovid consists of two antiviral medications: nirmatrelvir and ritonavir. Nirmatrelvir is a new drug specifically developed to combat SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Ritonavir is an existing HIV medication that helps boost the effectiveness of nirmatrelvir. The pill also contains inactive ingredients such as microcrystalline cellulose, lactose monohydrate, croscarmellose sodium, and sodium stearyl fumarate.
Is celiac high risk for COVID?
People with celiac disease are not considered to be at higher risk for contracting COVID-19. However, some studies suggest that individuals with celiac disease may be at slightly increased risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes if they do become infected. This potential increased risk is thought to be due to the autoimmune nature of celiac disease and its effects on the immune system. It's important for people with celiac disease to follow general COVID-19 prevention guidelines and consult with their healthcare provider for personalized advice.
