Yes, malic acid is gluten-free. It is an organic compound naturally found in fruits and vegetables, and when used as a food additive, it is not derived from gluten-containing grains.
Boosts energy production: Malic acid plays a role in the Krebs cycle, helping to convert food into energy more efficiently.
Supports muscle performance: It may help reduce muscle fatigue and soreness after exercise.
Promotes oral health: Malic acid stimulates saliva production, which can help prevent dry mouth and reduce the risk of tooth decay.
Enhances skin health: It’s used in skincare products for its gentle exfoliating properties and ability to promote skin cell turnover.
May alleviate fibromyalgia symptoms: Some studies suggest it might help reduce pain and tenderness in fibromyalgia patients when combined with magnesium.
Supports liver function: Malic acid may help promote liver health and detoxification processes.
Aids in metal detoxification: It may help chelate heavy metals, assisting in their removal from the body.
Improves exercise endurance: Some research indicates it might enhance athletic performance by reducing lactic acid buildup.
Supports kidney health: Malic acid may help prevent kidney stones by binding with excess calcium.
People with kidney problems or kidney disease, as malic acid is processed by the kidneys
Individuals with severe liver disease or impaired liver function
Those with a known allergy or sensitivity to malic acid
Pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers, due to limited research on its effects
Young children, unless recommended by a healthcare provider
People taking certain medications that might interact with malic acid (always consult with a healthcare provider)
Individuals with digestive disorders like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), as malic acid may exacerbate symptoms in some cases
Those with a history of kidney stones, as malic acid might affect urine acidity
People with dental enamel erosion or sensitive teeth, as malic acid can potentially contribute to tooth enamel wear
Individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia should consult a doctor before using malic acid supplements, as its effects on these conditions are not well-establishedRemember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions or concerns.

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 ).
