Yes, traditional lemonade made from lemon juice, water, and sugar is naturally gluten-free. However, it’s important to check the ingredient list on any pre-made or flavored lemonades, as some may contain additives or flavorings that could potentially contain gluten.
Rich in Vitamin C: Boosts immune system and acts as an antioxidant
Aids digestion: Can help relieve constipation and indigestion
Promotes hydration: Encourages fluid intake, especially when water seems unappealing
Supports kidney health: May help prevent kidney stones
Improves skin health: Vitamin C contributes to collagen production
Potential weight loss aid: Can be a low-calorie alternative to sugary drinks
Freshens breath: The citric acid in lemon helps neutralize odors
May help reduce blood pressure: Due to its potassium content
Provides a small amount of fiber: From the lemon pulp if included
Can help balance pH levels in the body: Despite being acidic, lemon has an alkalizing effect once metabolized
Supports liver function: May help stimulate liver enzymes
Potential mood booster: The scent of lemon can have uplifting effectsRemember that these benefits are primarily associated with homemade lemonade using fresh lemons and minimal added sugar. Store-bought or highly sweetened versions may not offer the same benefits due to added sugars and preservatives.

Individuals with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or acid reflux
Those with dental erosion or sensitive teeth
People with diabetes or blood sugar control issues (due to high sugar content in many lemonades)
Individuals prone to kidney stones (due to high citric acid content)
Those taking certain medications that interact with citrus fruits (e.g., some statins, antihistamines, and psychiatric drugs)
People with canker sores or mouth ulcers (citric acid can cause irritation)
Individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) who are sensitive to citrus fruits
Those following a low-acid diet for medical reasons
People with fructose malabsorption or intolerance
Individuals trying to reduce their calorie intake (if the lemonade is high in sugar)
Young children, in large quantities (due to potential dental issues and high sugar content)Remember that these are general guidelines, and individual tolerances may vary. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional 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 ).
