Is Eggnog Gluten Free?
Traditionally made eggnog is typically gluten-free, as its main ingredients (milk, cream, eggs, sugar, and spices) do not contain gluten. However, some store-bought or commercially prepared eggnogs may contain gluten-based additives or flavorings, so it’s always best to check the label or inquire about ingredients if you have gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
Good source of protein: Eggnog contains eggs and milk, which provide high-quality protein.
Rich in vitamins and minerals: It contains vitamins A, D, E, B12, riboflavin, and minerals like calcium and phosphorus.
Energy boost: The combination of protein, fats, and carbohydrates can provide quick energy.
Bone health: The calcium and vitamin D content can contribute to maintaining strong bones.
Muscle recovery: The protein content can aid in muscle repair and growth, especially if consumed after exercise.
Immune system support: Nutrients like vitamin A and protein can help support immune function.
Mood enhancement: The tryptophan in milk may help promote relaxation and better sleep.
Antioxidant properties: If spices like nutmeg and cinnamon are added, they can provide antioxidants.However, it’s important to note that traditional eggnog is high in calories, fat, and sugar, so these benefits should be weighed against potential drawbacks. Moderation is key, and healthier versions can be made with alternative ingredients.
Pregnant women (due to the risk of raw eggs and potential alcohol content)
People with compromised immune systems
Individuals with egg allergies
Those with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance (for traditional dairy-based eggnog)
People with alcohol use disorders or those in recovery (for alcoholic eggnog)
Individuals on certain medications that interact with alcohol (if the eggnog contains alcohol)
Those with high cholesterol levels (due to the high fat content in traditional eggnog)
People with diabetes or watching their sugar intake (due to high sugar content)
Individuals following a vegan or plant-based diet (unless it’s a specially made vegan version)
Those with salmonella sensitivity or a history of foodborne illness (if using raw eggs)
Young children (especially if the eggnog contains alcohol or raw eggs)
People watching their calorie intake (as eggnog is typically high in calories)Remember, there are many eggnog variations, including non-alcoholic and dairy-free versions, which may be suitable for some of these groups. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

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 ).
