Wheat dextrin is typically not considered gluten-free because it is derived from wheat, which contains gluten. However, some highly processed wheat dextrins may have the gluten removed during manufacturing, but it’s best for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity to avoid wheat dextrin unless it’s specifically labeled as gluten-free.
Improves digestive health: – Promotes regular bowel movements – Helps alleviate constipation – Supports the growth of beneficial gut bacteria
Aids in weight management: – Increases feelings of fullness and satiety – May help reduce overall calorie intake
Supports heart health: – May help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels – Can potentially reduce the risk of heart disease
Helps regulate blood sugar: – Slows down the absorption of glucose – May improve insulin sensitivity
Supports immune function: – Promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, which play a role in immune health
May reduce the risk of certain cancers: – Particularly colorectal cancer, due to its effects on digestive health
Promotes bone health: – May improve calcium absorption
Supports detoxification: – Helps remove toxins from the body through improved bowel movements

Provides protein, which is essential for muscle repair and growth
It’s important to note that while wheat dextrin offers these potential benefits, individual results may vary, and it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet or supplement regimen.
People with celiac disease: Wheat dextrin is derived from wheat and may contain gluten, which can cause adverse reactions in those with celiac disease.
Individuals with wheat allergy: Those allergic to wheat should avoid wheat dextrin as it may trigger an allergic reaction.
People with gluten sensitivity: Although wheat dextrin is often considered gluten-free, some individuals with gluten sensitivity may still react to it.
Those on a strict gluten-free diet: Even if not diagnosed with celiac disease, people following a gluten-free diet for other reasons should avoid wheat dextrin.
Individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): Some people with IBS may experience increased symptoms when consuming wheat dextrin.
People with certain digestive disorders: Those with inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis should consult their doctor before consuming wheat dextrin.
Individuals taking certain medications: Wheat dextrin can interact with some medications, so it’s important to consult a healthcare provider if you’re on any prescription drugs.
Those with diabetes: While wheat dextrin can be beneficial for some diabetics, others may need to monitor their blood sugar levels closely when consuming it.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women: As with any dietary supplement, pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before consuming wheat dextrin.Always consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns about consuming wheat dextrin, especially if you have any pre-existing health conditions or dietary restrictions.

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 ).
