Most alcoholic ciders are naturally gluten-free as they are typically made from fermented apple juice, which does not contain gluten. However, it’s always best to check the label or with the manufacturer, as some ciders may contain added ingredients or be produced in facilities that also process gluten-containing products.
Antioxidants: Cider contains polyphenols, which are antioxidants that can help protect cells from damage.
Vitamin C: Some ciders, especially those made from fresh apples, may contain vitamin C.
Probiotics: Unpasteurized, traditionally-made ciders may contain beneficial bacteria.
Gluten-free option: For those with gluten sensitivities, cider is typically a gluten-free alternative to beer.
Lower alcohol content: Compared to many wines and spirits, cider often has a lower alcohol content.
Potential cardiovascular benefits: Moderate alcohol consumption has been linked to improved heart health in some studies.
May aid digestion: The acidity in cider could potentially help stimulate digestive juices.
Hydration: Cider has a high water content, which can contribute to hydration (though alcohol itself is dehydrating).
Potential anti-inflammatory properties: Some compounds in apples may have anti-inflammatory effects.
Source of calories: Cider can provide energy, though it’s important to consider this in the context of overall calorie intake.Remember, these benefits are generally modest, and excessive alcohol consumption can lead to numerous health problems. Always drink responsibly and in moderation.

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 ).
