Low calorie: It’s a low-calorie food additive, making it useful for weight management.
Fiber source: Tara gum is a good source of dietary fiber, which aids digestion and promotes gut health.
Blood sugar control: It may help regulate blood sugar levels by slowing down the absorption of glucose.
Cholesterol reduction: Some studies suggest it might help lower cholesterol levels.
Prebiotic properties: It can act as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
Gluten-free alternative: It’s used as a thickener in gluten-free products, benefiting those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Satiety promotion: Its fiber content can help increase feelings of fullness, potentially aiding in weight control.
Digestive health: It may help alleviate constipation and promote regular bowel movements.
Potential anti-inflammatory effects: Some research indicates it might have anti-inflammatory properties.
Hypoallergenic: It’s less likely to cause allergic reactions compared to some other food additives.Remember that while these benefits exist, more research is needed to fully understand the extent of Tara Gum’s health impacts.
People with known allergies to legumes, particularly carob or guar gum, as tara gum is derived from a legume plant
Individuals with sensitive digestive systems or those prone to gastrointestinal issues, as tara gum may cause bloating, gas, or diarrhea in some people
Those with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, as fiber additives like tara gum may exacerbate symptoms
People following a low FODMAP diet, as tara gum is a high FODMAP ingredient
Individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should verify that the tara gum used is gluten-free and not cross-contaminated
Those on a strict whole foods diet or trying to avoid processed foods, as tara gum is often used as an additive in processed products
Infants and young children, as their digestive systems are still developing (always consult a pediatrician before introducing new ingredients)
People with diabetes should monitor their intake, as tara gum may affect blood sugar levels
Individuals preparing for certain medical procedures or diagnostic tests that require a clear liquid dietIt’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian if you have concerns about consuming tara gum, especially if you have any pre-existing health conditions or dietary restrictions.

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 ).
