Is Tikka Masala Gluten Free?
Tikka Masala is typically gluten-free as its main ingredients (chicken, yogurt, tomatoes, and spices) do not contain gluten. However, it’s important to verify with the specific restaurant or recipe, as some versions may use flour as a thickener or include other gluten-containing ingredients.

Source of protein: The chicken or other meat used provides essential amino acids for muscle growth and repair.
Antioxidants: Tomatoes in the sauce contain lycopene, a powerful antioxidant.
Anti-inflammatory properties: Spices like turmeric and ginger have potential anti-inflammatory effects.
Digestive aid: Spices such as cumin and coriander may help improve digestion.
Vitamin C: Tomatoes and bell peppers (if included) provide vitamin C, supporting immune function.
Calcium: If made with yogurt, it can contribute to calcium intake for bone health.
Metabolism boost: Spices like cayenne pepper may slightly increase metabolism.
Heart health: Garlic and onions contain compounds that may support cardiovascular health.
Vitamin A: If made with cream or butter, it provides some vitamin A for eye health.
Iron: When made with meat, it can be a good source of iron for red blood cell production.Remember that traditional Tikka Masala can be high in calories and fat, so moderation is key to enjoying its potential benefits while maintaining a healthy 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 ).
