Low in calories: Polenta is relatively low in calories, making it a good option for those watching their calorie intake.
Gluten-free: As it’s made from corn, polenta is naturally gluten-free, suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Good source of complex carbohydrates: Provides sustained energy and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Contains fiber: Polenta has some amount of fiber which may aid digestion.
Contains essential vitamins and minerals: Includes vitamin A, C, and various B vitamins, as well as iron, zinc, and phosphorus in small amounts.
Can be part of a balanced diet: When consumed in moderation, it can be part of a healthy eating plan.
People with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity: Although polenta is made from corn and is naturally gluten-free, some commercial versions may be contaminated with gluten during processing. Always check labels for gluten-free certification.
Individuals with corn allergies: Polenta is made from cornmeal, so those with corn allergies should avoid it.
People following a low-carb diet: Polenta is high in carbohydrates, so it may not be suitable for those on strict low-carb diets.
Individuals with diabetes: While not entirely off-limits, people with diabetes should monitor their polenta intake due to its high carbohydrate content, which can affect blood sugar levels.
People with digestive sensitivities: Some individuals may find that corn products, including polenta, can cause digestive discomfort.
Individuals with a sensitivity to FODMAPs: Corn is considered a high-FODMAP food, so those following a low-FODMAP diet may need to avoid or limit polenta.Remember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized advice regarding your diet.

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 ).
