Most pure sugar candies and many other types of candy are naturally gluten-free. However, some candies may contain gluten-containing ingredients or be produced in facilities that process gluten, so it’s important to check labels carefully if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Mood boost: Sugar can trigger the release of serotonin, a feel-good chemical in the brain
Quick energy: The sugar in candy provides a rapid source of glucose for short-term energy
Cognitive function: Some studies suggest that a small amount of glucose can temporarily improve mental performance
Stress relief: For some people, the act of eating candy can be a form of stress relief or comfort
Antioxidants: Dark chocolate, in particular, contains antioxidants that may have some health benefits
Low-fat option: Some candies are low in fat compared to other snack options
Throat soothing: Hard candies can help soothe a sore throat or dry mouth
Social bonding: Sharing candy can be a social activity that promotes positive interactionsIt’s important to note that these benefits are generally outweighed by the negative health effects of excessive sugar consumption. Candy should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

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 ).
