Malt flavoring is typically derived from barley, which contains gluten, so it is generally not considered gluten-free. However, some malt flavorings may be made from gluten-free grains or through processes that remove gluten, so it’s important to check with the manufacturer or look for specific gluten-free labeling if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Source of B vitamins: Malt contains various B vitamins, including thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin, which are important for energy metabolism and overall health.
Provides minerals: Malt contains minerals such as magnesium, selenium, and potassium, which play roles in various bodily functions.
Antioxidant properties: Malt contains antioxidants that may help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Dietary fiber: Malt provides some dietary fiber, which can support digestive health and promote feelings of fullness.
Protein source: Malt contains some protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues.
May support bone health: The phosphorus content in malt can contribute to maintaining strong bones and teeth.
Potential prebiotic effects: Some components in malt may act as prebiotics, supporting gut health by feeding beneficial bacteria.
Low glycemic index: Compared to refined sugars, malt has a lower glycemic index, potentially leading to more stable blood sugar levels.It’s important to note that these benefits are primarily associated with whole malt rather than malt flavoring, which is often used in small amounts primarily for taste. Additionally, the health impact can vary depending on how the malt is processed and consumed.
People with celiac disease: Malt flavoring is typically derived from barley, which contains gluten.
Individuals with gluten sensitivity or intolerance: Even if they don’t have celiac disease, they may experience adverse reactions.
Those following a strict gluten-free diet: Malt flavoring is not considered gluten-free.
People with barley allergies: Since malt flavoring is often derived from barley, it could trigger an allergic reaction.
Individuals with wheat allergies: While less common, some malt flavorings may contain wheat.
Those with malt allergies: This is a rare allergy, but affected individuals should avoid malt flavoring.
People with certain digestive disorders: Some gastrointestinal conditions may be aggravated by malt flavoring.
Individuals following a low FODMAP diet: Malt flavoring may contain fermentable carbohydrates that can trigger symptoms in sensitive individuals.
Those with diabetes: Malt flavoring can contain sugars that may affect blood glucose levels.
People trying to avoid added sugars: Malt flavoring often contains sugar and can contribute to overall sugar intake.Remember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized advice regarding dietary restrictions 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 ).
