Is Sucrose Gluten Free?
Yes, sucrose (table sugar) is gluten-free. Sucrose is a simple carbohydrate made from sugar cane or sugar beets and does not contain any gluten proteins, which are found in wheat, barley, and rye.
Quick energy source: Sucrose provides rapidly available energy for the body and brain.
Palatability: It enhances the taste of foods, potentially making nutritious foods more appealing.
Preservation: Sugar acts as a preservative in foods, which can help prevent spoilage.
Mood enhancement: Consuming sugar can temporarily boost mood and increase feelings of pleasure.
Electrolyte balance: In some medical situations, sugar solutions can help maintain electrolyte balance.
Calorie provision: For individuals who need to gain weight, sucrose can be a concentrated source of calories.
Athletic performance: Quick energy from sucrose can be beneficial during intense, short-duration exercise.
Wound healing: Topical application of sugar has been used in some medical settings to promote wound healing.It’s important to note that while these points highlight potential benefits, excessive sugar consumption is associated with numerous health risks. A balanced diet with limited added sugars is generally recommended for optimal health.

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 ).
