Yes, vanilla bean ice cream is typically gluten-free. The main ingredients in vanilla bean ice cream (milk, cream, sugar, vanilla) do not contain gluten, but it’s always best to check the label or with the manufacturer to ensure no gluten-containing additives or cross-contamination risks are present.

Calcium source: Ice cream contains milk, which provides calcium for strong bones and teeth.
Protein: Milk-based ice cream offers some protein, which is essential for muscle maintenance and growth.
Energy boost: The sugars and fats in ice cream provide quick energy.
Vitamin D: If fortified, ice cream can be a source of vitamin D, which aids calcium absorption.
Antioxidants: Vanilla beans contain small amounts of antioxidants.
Mood enhancer: The pleasurable experience of eating ice cream can boost mood and reduce stress.
Probiotic potential: Some ice creams contain live cultures, which can support gut health.
Vitamin B12: Dairy-based ice cream provides some vitamin B12, important for nerve function and red blood cell formation.
Phosphorus: Another mineral found in dairy that supports bone health.
Trace minerals: Small amounts of minerals like zinc and selenium may be present.Remember, these benefits are minimal compared to the high calorie and sugar content, so ice cream should be enjoyed 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 ).
