Is Egg Nog Gluten Free?
Traditional egg nog is typically gluten-free as it’s made primarily from eggs, milk, cream, sugar, and spices, none of which contain gluten. However, some store-bought or flavored versions may contain gluten-based additives or flavorings, so it’s always best to check the label or inquire about ingredients if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Good source of protein due to its egg content
Provides calcium from milk, which is essential for bone health
Contains vitamin D, particularly if fortified milk is used
Offers vitamin A, which is important for eye health and immune function
Provides riboflavin (vitamin B2) from both eggs and milk
Contains phosphorus, which works with calcium for bone health
Offers some potassium, which is important for heart health
Can be a source of healthy fats, especially if made with whole milk
Provides energy due to its calorie content
Nutmeg, a common ingredient, has anti-inflammatory properties
Cinnamon, often used as a topping, may help regulate blood sugar
Can be fortified with additional vitamins and minerals depending on preparationIt’s important to note that while Egg Nog does have some nutritional benefits, it is typically high in calories, sugar, and fat. Therefore, it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Pregnant women (due to the risk of salmonella from raw eggs if unpasteurized)
People with egg allergies
Individuals with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance
Those with alcohol sensitivities or addiction issues (if the Egg Nog contains alcohol)
People on certain medications that interact with alcohol (if the Egg Nog contains alcohol)
Individuals with compromised immune systems (if using raw eggs)
Those with high cholesterol levels (due to the high fat and cholesterol content)
People with diabetes or watching their sugar intake (due to high sugar content)

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 ).
