Is Shortening Gluten Free?
Most commercial shortenings are gluten-free as they are typically made from vegetable oils without any gluten-containing ingredients. However, it’s always important to check the label of specific brands, as some may contain additives or be processed in facilities that also handle gluten-containing products.
Lower in saturated fat compared to butter or lard, which may be beneficial for heart health
Contains no cholesterol, unlike animal-based fats
Can be a suitable alternative for those with dairy allergies or who follow a vegan diet
Provides a source of calories and energy
Some shortenings are fortified with vitamins A and D
Can be used in baking to create flaky textures in pastries and pie crusts
Has a higher smoke point than butter, making it more stable for high-heat cookingIt’s important to note that while these points may be considered benefits, many health professionals recommend using healthier alternatives like olive oil or avocado oil for cooking and baking when possible. Shortening, especially partially hydrogenated varieties, can contain trans fats, which are associated with negative health effects.
People with heart disease or at high risk for cardiovascular problems

Individuals with a history of gallbladder problems
Those following specific diets that restrict saturated and trans fats
People with liver disease or at risk for fatty liver disease
Individuals with pancreatitis or at risk for pancreatic issues
Those with a history of eating disorders, particularly binge eating disorder

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 ).
