Is Ginger Beer Gluten Free?
Generally speaking, traditional ginger beer is gluten-free as it’s typically made from water, ginger, sugar, and yeast, none of which contain gluten. However, it’s always best to check the label or contact the manufacturer to be certain, as some brands might add ingredients that contain gluten or produce their ginger beer in facilities that also process gluten-containing products.

Possible cardiovascular benefits: Ginger may help lower cholesterol and blood pressure.
Nausea relief: Ginger is known for its ability to alleviate nausea, including morning sickness.
Respiratory health: Ginger may help relieve congestion and other respiratory issues.
Potential cancer-fighting properties: Some studies suggest ginger may have anti-cancer effects, though more research is needed.Note: These benefits are primarily associated with ginger itself. Many commercial ginger beers contain little to no real ginger and are high in sugar, which may negate some of these benefits. Homemade or natural ginger beers with real ginger are more likely to offer these health benefits.

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 ).
