Is Taco Bell Hot Sauce Gluten Free?
Yes, Taco Bell’s hot sauce packets are generally considered gluten-free. However, it’s always best to check the most up-to-date information directly from Taco Bell or the product packaging, as ingredients and manufacturing processes can occasionally change.

Low in calories: Most hot sauces, including Taco Bell’s, are very low in calories, making them a flavorful addition to meals without significantly increasing calorie intake.
Capsaicin content: The active compound in chili peppers, capsaicin, is present in hot sauce and may offer some health benefits: – Potential metabolism boost – Possible appetite suppression – May have anti-inflammatory properties
Vitamin C: Hot sauces often contain small amounts of vitamin C from the chili peppers used.
Antioxidants: Chili peppers contain antioxidants that may help protect cells from damage.
Flavor enhancement: It can add flavor to foods without adding fat, potentially helping people enjoy healthier meals.
Potential pain relief: Capsaicin is sometimes used topically for pain relief, and consuming it may have similar effects internally.
May promote sweating: Spicy foods can induce sweating, which might help cool the body and release toxins.
Possible cardiovascular benefits: Some studies suggest that capsaicin may help improve blood flow and lower blood pressure.
It’s important to note that these benefits are generally associated with capsaicin and chili peppers rather than specifically Taco Bell Hot Sauce, and excessive consumption can lead to negative effects. Always consume in moderation as part of a balanced 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 ).
