Generally, boba tea is gluten-free as its main ingredients (tea, milk, tapioca pearls) do not contain gluten. However, it’s important to check with the specific tea shop or brand, as some flavoring syrups or additives may contain gluten, and there’s always a risk of cross-contamination in preparation areas.
Hydration: The tea base provides fluids, which can contribute to daily hydration needs.
Antioxidants: If made with green or black tea, it can provide antioxidants that may help protect cells from damage.
Energy boost: The caffeine in tea can provide a mild energy boost and improve mental alertness.
Calcium: If made with milk or non-dairy milk alternatives fortified with calcium, it can contribute to calcium intake.
Tapioca pearls: The tapioca balls are a source of carbohydrates, providing quick energy.
Potential probiotic benefits: Some shops use probiotic-rich yogurt as a base, which can support gut health.
Customizable: Can be made with healthier alternatives like fresh fruit, lower sugar options, or plant-based milks to improve nutritional value.It’s important to note that many boba tea drinks are high in sugar and calories, which can outweigh these potential benefits. Moderation is key when enjoying boba tea as part of a balanced diet.
People with diabetes or those monitoring their sugar intake, as boba tea is often high in sugar
Individuals with tapioca or cassava allergies, as the boba pearls are typically made from tapioca starch
Those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, as some boba teas may contain gluten-based ingredients
People with digestive issues or sensitive stomachs, as the tapioca pearls can be difficult to digest
Young children, due to the choking hazard posed by the large tapioca pearls
Individuals on a low-carb or ketogenic diet, as boba tea is high in carbohydrates
Those with lactose intolerance, if ordering milk-based boba teas (unless non-dairy alternatives are available)
People with caffeine sensitivity, especially if ordering tea-based boba drinks
Individuals trying to lose weight or maintain a calorie-controlled diet, as boba tea can be high in calories
Pregnant women, who should consult their healthcare provider before consuming boba tea regularly
People with dental issues or braces, as the chewy tapioca pearls may pose a riskRemember that moderation is key, and individuals with specific health concerns should consult their healthcare provider for personalized advice.

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 ).
