Unagi, which is freshly water eel, is naturally gluten-free. However, the sauce typically used in unagi dishes often contains soy sauce, which usually includes wheat, so prepared unagi dishes may not be gluten-free unless specifically made with gluten-free ingredients.

High in protein: Unagi is an excellent source of lean protein, which is essential for muscle growth and repair.
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids: These healthy fats support heart and brain health, and may help reduce inflammation.
Good source of vitamin A: Important for eye health, immune function, and skin maintenance.
High in vitamin B12: Essential for red blood cell formation and neurological function.
Contains vitamin D: Helps with calcium absorption and bone health.
Good source of phosphorus: Important for bone and teeth health, and cellular function.
Provides selenium: An antioxidant that supports thyroid function and immune health.
Contains potassium: Helps regulate blood pressure and supports heart health.
Low in saturated fat: Beneficial for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.
Provides vitamin E: An antioxidant that supports immune function and skin health.
Contains calcium: Important for bone and teeth health, as well as muscle function.
Offers iodine: Essential for proper thyroid function.Remember that while unagi offers these health benefits, it should be consumed in moderation due to potential mercury content and its often high-calorie preparation methods in some cuisines.
Pregnant women: Due to the potential for high mercury content in eel.
Nursing mothers: For the same reason as pregnant women.
Young children: Their developing nervous systems are more susceptible to mercury.

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 ).
