Malt alcohol is generally not gluten-free, as it is typically made from barley, which contains gluten. However, some specialty malt alcohols may be made from gluten-free grains like sorghum or rice, but these are less common and should be clearly labeled as gluten-free.
Cardiovascular health: Some studies suggest that moderate alcohol consumption may help reduce the risk of heart disease by increasing HDL (good) cholesterol levels and reducing blood clot formation.
Reduced risk of type 2 diabetes: Moderate alcohol consumption has been associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes in some studies.
Improved cognitive function: Some research indicates that light to moderate alcohol consumption may help maintain cognitive function in older adults.
Stress reduction: Moderate alcohol consumption can have a relaxing effect, potentially helping to reduce stress and anxiety levels.
Antioxidant properties: Malt beverages, particularly darker varieties, contain antioxidants that may help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Potential cancer-fighting properties: Some studies suggest that moderate beer consumption may have protective effects against certain types of cancer, though more research is needed.
Improved bone density: The silicon content in beer may contribute to better bone health and reduced risk of osteoporosis.
Kidney stone prevention: Some research indicates that moderate beer consumption may help reduce the risk of developing kidney stones.It’s crucial to emphasize that these potential benefits are associated with moderate consumption, typically defined as up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to numerous health problems and should be avoided.
Pregnant women: Alcohol consumption during pregnancy can lead to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders and other developmental issues.
Individuals under the legal drinking age: Laws vary by country, but most places restrict alcohol consumption for minors.

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 ).
