Is Curacao Gluten Free?
Curaçao liqueur is generally considered gluten-free as it is typically made from the dried peels of the laraha citrus fruit, sugar, and alcohol distilled from sugar cane. However, it’s always advisable to check the specific brand and product label for any potential gluten-containing additives or cross-contamination risks, especially for those with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivities.

Digestive aid: Curaçao is sometimes used as a digestif, which may help with digestion after meals.
Antioxidants: The citrus peels used in making Curaçao contain flavonoids, which are antioxidants that may help protect cells from damage.
Stress relief: Like other alcoholic beverages, moderate consumption may help reduce stress and promote relaxation.
Social benefits: Moderate alcohol consumption in social settings may contribute to improved social connections and mental well-being.
Potential cardiovascular benefits: Some studies suggest that moderate alcohol consumption may have slight cardiovascular benefits, though this is debated.
Flavonoids from orange peels: These compounds may have anti-inflammatory properties.
Vitamin C: The citrus elements in Curaçao contain small amounts of vitamin C.It’s important to note that these potential benefits are minimal and only apply to very moderate consumption. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to numerous health problems and should be avoided. Always consult with a healthcare professional regarding alcohol consumption and its effects on your health.
Individuals with severe sun sensitivity or extreme heat intolerance, as Curaçao has a hot, sunny climate year-round
People with mobility issues, as some areas of the island may have limited accessibility
Those with severe allergies to tropical plants or insects
Individuals who are prone to seasickness, especially if planning boat tours or water activities
People who are uncomfortable in areas with potential petty crime (though Curaçao is generally safe, like many tourist destinations, it does have some crime)
Those seeking a completely quiet, secluded vacation, as Curaçao can be lively, especially in tourist areas
Individuals with serious medical conditions requiring advanced healthcare facilities, as medical care on the island may be limited for certain specialized treatments
People who are extremely budget-conscious, as Curaçao can be relatively expensive compared to some other Caribbean destinations
Those who don’t enjoy water activities or beach environments, as these are major attractions on the island
Individuals who are uncomfortable in places where English is not the primary language (though it is widely spoken, the official languages are Dutch and Papiamentu)Remember, many of these points are relative, and with proper planning and precautions, Curaçao can still be an enjoyable destination for most travelers.

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 ).
