Chamoy, a popular Mexican condiment made from pickled fruit, chilies, and spices, is typically gluten-free in its traditional form. However, it’s always important to check the specific ingredients list or manufacturer’s information for any particular brand of chamoy, as some commercially produced versions may contain gluten-containing additives or be processed in facilities that handle gluten products.
Rich in vitamin C: Many chamoy recipes include fruits high in vitamin C, such as apricots or plums, which can support immune function and skin health.
Antioxidant properties: The fruits used in chamoy often contain antioxidants that may help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Digestive aid: Some ingredients in chamoy, like chili peppers, may stimulate digestion and metabolism.
Probiotic potential: If fermented, chamoy might contain beneficial bacteria that support gut health.
Flavonoid content: Depending on the fruits used, chamoy may contain flavonoids that have anti-inflammatory properties.
Low in fat: Chamoy is generally a low-fat condiment.
Hydration: When used as a flavoring for water or other beverages, it can encourage increased fluid intake.
Appetite stimulant: The combination of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy flavors may stimulate appetite.
Mood enhancer: Spicy foods like chamoy can trigger the release of endorphins, potentially improving mood.It’s important to note that many commercial chamoy products are high in sugar and sodium, which can negate some of these benefits if consumed in large quantities. Homemade versions with controlled ingredients may be healthier options.

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 ).
