Yes, traditional whipped cream is gluten-free as it is typically made from heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract, none of which contain gluten. However, it’s always important to check the label of store-bought whipped cream or any added flavorings for potential gluten-containing ingredients or cross-contamination warnings, especially for those with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivities.
Source of calcium: Whipped cream contains calcium, which is essential for bone health.
Provides energy: It’s a source of quick energy due to its fat and sugar content.
Contains vitamins: Small amounts of vitamins A, D, E, and K are present in whipped cream.
Protein content: It contains some protein, which is necessary for muscle maintenance and growth.
Phosphorus: Whipped cream provides phosphorus, important for bone health and cellular function.
Potential probiotic benefits: If made from cultured cream, it may contain beneficial bacteria.
Satiety: The fat content can help you feel full and satisfied.
Mood booster: As a treat, it can contribute to psychological well-being when enjoyed occasionally.It’s important to note that these benefits are minimal, and whipped cream should be consumed in moderation due to its high calorie and saturated fat content. For most people, it should be considered an occasional treat rather than a health food.

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 ).
