Is Absinthe Gluten Free?
Generally speaking, traditional absinthe is gluten-free as it is made from distilled spirits and herbs, not grains containing gluten. However, some modern or flavored varieties of absinthe may contain added ingredients that could potentially include gluten, so it’s always best to check the specific product’s ingredients or contact the manufacturer if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Antimicrobial properties: Thujone, a compound found in wormwood, has been shown to have antimicrobial effects.
Digestive aid: The herbs used in absinthe, such as anise and fennel, may help stimulate digestion and relieve bloating.
Antioxidant content: Some of the herbs used in absinthe contain antioxidants, which can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Potential anti-inflammatory effects: Certain compounds in wormwood may have anti-inflammatory properties.
Possible pain relief: Historically, absinthe was used as a pain reliever, though modern medicine offers more effective alternatives.
Appetite stimulant: In small amounts, absinthe may help stimulate appetite.
Potential stress relief: Like other alcoholic beverages, moderate consumption may help reduce stress and anxiety in some individuals.
Possible cognitive benefits: Some studies suggest that very low doses of thujone may have cognitive-enhancing effects, though more research is needed.Remember that these potential benefits are outweighed by the risks associated with excessive alcohol consumption. Absinthe should be consumed in moderation, if at all, and individuals with health concerns should consult a healthcare professional before consuming absinthe or any alcoholic beverage.

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 ).
