Contains small amounts of iron and calcium: Contributes to overall mineral intake
Helps stabilize blood sugar levels: Due to its moderate glycemic indexRemember that while tapioca flour has these benefits, it should be consumed as part of a balanced diet, as it is primarily a source of carbohydrates and lacks significant amounts of other nutrients.
People with allergies to cassava or tapioca: Although rare, some individuals may have an allergy to cassava, the plant from which tapioca is derived.
Those with latex allergies: There’s a potential cross-reactivity between latex and cassava, so people with latex allergies should be cautious.
Individuals with diabetes: Tapioca flour is high in carbohydrates and can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels.
People on a low-carb or ketogenic diet: Due to its high carbohydrate content, tapioca flour is not suitable for these diets.
Those with digestive sensitivities: Some people may experience bloating or discomfort when consuming tapioca products.
Individuals with iodine deficiency: Cassava contains compounds that can interfere with iodine absorption if consumed in large amounts.
People with kidney problems: Tapioca is high in potassium, which may be problematic for those with kidney issues.
Those watching their calorie intake: Tapioca flour is calorie-dense and may not be suitable for those on a strict calorie-controlled diet.
Individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity: While tapioca is gluten-free, they should ensure the product is not cross-contaminated with gluten-containing grains.Remember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have health concerns.

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 ).
