Is Hard Seltzer Gluten Free?
Generally, most hard seltzers are gluten-free as they are typically made from fermented cane sugar or malted gluten-free grains like corn or rice. However, it’s always best to check the label or contact the manufacturer for specific products, as some hard seltzers may contain gluten-containing ingredients or be produced in facilities that handle gluten.
Lower calorie content: Hard seltzers typically contain fewer calories than beer, wine, or mixed drinks.
Lower carbohydrate content: They usually have fewer carbs than beer or sweetened cocktails.
Gluten-free option: Most hard seltzers are gluten-free, making them suitable for people with gluten sensitivities.
Lower alcohol content: Many hard seltzers have a lower alcohol by volume (ABV) compared to other alcoholic beverages.
Hydration: The high water content in hard seltzers may help with hydration compared to other alcoholic drinks.
No added sugar: Many hard seltzers contain no added sugars, which can be beneficial for those watching their sugar intake.
Fewer congeners: Hard seltzers typically contain fewer congeners (byproducts of fermentation) than darker alcohols, potentially reducing hangover symptoms.
Portion control: The standard can size makes it easier to monitor alcohol consumption.
Variety of flavors: The wide range of flavors available may encourage people to drink less by savoring the taste.It’s important to note that while these points highlight potential benefits compared to other alcoholic beverages, excessive alcohol consumption of any kind can have negative health effects. Always drink responsibly and in moderation.

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 ).
