Wheat gluten is not gluten-free. It is, in fact, the primary source of gluten in wheat and contains high amounts of the protein.
High protein content: Wheat gluten is an excellent source of plant-based protein, making it beneficial for vegetarians and vegans.
Low in fat: Gluten is naturally low in fat, which can be beneficial for those looking to maintain a healthy weight or reduce their fat intake.
Rich in essential amino acids: Wheat gluten contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source.
Good source of iron: Gluten can provide a significant amount of iron, which is essential for oxygen transport in the body and preventing anemia.
Contains minerals: Wheat gluten provides minerals such as selenium, which acts as an antioxidant in the body.
May improve muscle mass: Due to its high protein content, wheat gluten may help in building and maintaining muscle mass when combined with resistance training.
Versatile meat substitute: For those reducing meat consumption, wheat gluten (seitan) can be a versatile and satisfying meat alternative.
Potential cardiovascular benefits: Some studies suggest that consuming wheat gluten may help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
May aid in digestive health: For those without gluten sensitivities, the fiber content in wheat products containing gluten can support digestive health.
Satiety: The protein in wheat gluten can help increase feelings of fullness, potentially aiding in weight management.It’s important to note that these benefits apply only to individuals who do not have celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or wheat allergies. Always consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet.

Individuals with non-celiac gluten sensitivity
Those with wheat allergy
People with gluten ataxia
Individuals with dermatitis herpetiformis
Some people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) who find gluten triggers symptoms
Those with gluten-sensitive enteropathy
Individuals following a specific diet plan that excludes gluten (e.g., Paleo diet)
People with certain autoimmune disorders who find gluten exacerbates their condition
Some individuals with autism spectrum disorders (based on personal or caregiver observations)
Those with gluten-induced gastrointestinal symptoms
Individuals with certain neurological disorders who may benefit from a gluten-free diet
People undergoing elimination diets to identify food sensitivitiesRemember that it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before making significant dietary changes, especially if you suspect a gluten-related condition.

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 ).
