Generally speaking, most chocolate syrups are gluten-free as they are typically made from cocoa, sugar, and other ingredients that don’t contain gluten. However, it’s always important to check the specific product label or contact the manufacturer to confirm, as some brands may use additives or flavorings that contain gluten or may be produced in facilities that process gluten-containing products.

Source of antioxidants: Cocoa, the main ingredient in chocolate syrup, contains flavonoids, which are antioxidants that may help protect cells from damage.
Mood booster: Chocolate contains compounds that can stimulate the release of endorphins, potentially improving mood.
Potential cardiovascular benefits: Some studies suggest that cocoa may help improve blood flow and lower blood pressure.
Mineral content: Chocolate syrup contains small amounts of minerals like iron, calcium, and potassium.
Energy boost: The sugar content can provide a quick source of energy.
Cognitive function: Some research suggests that cocoa flavonoids may improve cognitive function and blood flow to the brain.
Low-fat option: Compared to solid chocolate, chocolate syrup is generally lower in fat.
Versatility in diet: Can be used to add flavor to healthier foods like fruit or low-fat milk, potentially increasing consumption of these nutritious items.It’s important to note that these benefits are minimal compared to the high sugar content, and chocolate syrup should be consumed sparingly 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 ).
