Canadian whiskey is generally considered gluten-free because it is typically made from corn, rye, or wheat that has been distilled, and the distillation process removes gluten proteins. However, it’s important to note that some Canadian whiskeys may have added flavors or colorings after distillation that could potentially contain gluten, so individuals with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity should always check with the manufacturer or opt for certified gluten-free brands to be absolutely certain.
Antioxidant properties: Whiskey contains ellagic acid, which may help neutralize free radicals in the body.
Potential cardiovascular benefits: Moderate alcohol consumption may increase HDL (good) cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Potential diabetes management: Some studies suggest moderate alcohol consumption may lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Stress reduction: Small amounts of alcohol may help reduce stress and promote relaxation.
Cognitive function: Moderate alcohol consumption has been linked to a reduced risk of dementia and improved cognitive function in some studies.
Potential weight management: Whiskey is relatively low in calories compared to other alcoholic beverages.
Anti-inflammatory properties: Some compounds in whiskey may have anti-inflammatory effects.
Please note that these benefits are associated with moderate consumption only. Always drink responsibly and consult with a healthcare professional about alcohol consumption and your personal health.

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 ).
