Is Grenadine Gluten Free?
Grenadine, a sweet syrup commonly used in cocktails and other beverages, is typically gluten-free as it is primarily made from pomegranate juice, sugar, and water. However, it’s always best to check the specific brand’s ingredients list or contact the manufacturer directly to confirm, as some less common varieties might contain additives or flavorings that could potentially contain gluten.
Rich in antioxidants: Pomegranate-based grenadine contains polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants that can help protect cells from damage.
May have anti-inflammatory properties: The antioxidants in pomegranate can help reduce inflammation in the body.
Potential heart health benefits: Some studies suggest that pomegranate juice may help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.
May support urinary health: Pomegranate has been associated with improved urinary tract health and may help prevent urinary tract infections.
Possible immune system support: The vitamin C content in pomegranate can contribute to a stronger immune system.
Potential cognitive benefits: Some research indicates that pomegranate may help improve memory and cognitive function.
May have anti-cancer properties: Certain compounds in pomegranate have shown potential in inhibiting cancer cell growth in laboratory studies.
Dental health: Pomegranate may help reduce bacteria that cause dental plaque.
Skin health: The antioxidants in pomegranate could contribute to healthier skin and may help protect against UV damage.It’s important to note that many commercial grenadine syrups are made with artificial flavors and high amounts of sugar, which can negate some of these health benefits. For maximum health benefits, look for natural, pomegranate-based grenadine or consider making your own at home.

Individuals on a low-sugar or low-calorie diet
Those with fructose intolerance or malabsorption, as grenadine often contains high fructose corn syrup
People with allergies to pomegranate or other fruits used in grenadine production
Individuals with sensitivities to food dyes or artificial colors, as some grenadine brands contain these additives
Those taking certain medications that may interact with grapefruit (if the grenadine contains grapefruit)
People with a history of kidney stones, as pomegranate (a common ingredient in grenadine) may increase the risk
Individuals with dental concerns, due to the high sugar content and acidity of grenadine
Those following a kosher or halal diet should check the ingredients and production methods
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before consuming products containing grenadineRemember that moderation is key, and it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional if you have any specific health concerns or conditions.

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 ).
