Is Rapid Rise Yeast Gluten Free?
Rapid Rise Yeast is typically gluten-free, as yeast itself does not naturally contain gluten. However, it’s always important to check the specific product label or manufacturer’s website to confirm, as some brands may process their yeast in facilities that also handle gluten-containing products, potentially leading to cross-contamination.
Source of B vitamins: Rapid Rise Yeast is rich in various B vitamins, including B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B6, and B9 (folic acid).
Protein content: It’s a good source of protein, containing all essential amino acids.
Low in fat and sodium: Rapid Rise Yeast is naturally low in fat and sodium, making it suitable for various diets.
Provides dietary fiber: It contains beta-glucans, a type of soluble fiber that may help lower cholesterol levels.
Mineral content: Yeast provides minerals such as zinc, selenium, and chromium.
Potential probiotic effects: While not a probiotic itself, yeast may support gut health by promoting beneficial bacteria growth.
Antioxidant properties: Yeast contains glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage.
May support immune function: The beta-glucans in yeast can potentially stimulate the immune system.
Potential blood sugar regulation: Some studies suggest yeast may help in regulating blood sugar levels.
Supports metabolism: The B vitamins in yeast play crucial roles in various metabolic processes.Note: While Rapid Rise Yeast offers these potential benefits, it’s primarily used for baking and not typically consumed on its own for health purposes.

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 ).
