Is Malt Gluten Free?
Malt is typically not gluten-free because it is usually made from barley, which contains gluten. However, there are some gluten-free malt alternatives made from corn or rice that can be used as substitutes in certain recipes and products.

Rich in nutrients: Malt contains vitamins B, E, and minerals like selenium, zinc, iron, and magnesium.
Source of fiber: Malt provides dietary fiber, which aids digestion and promotes gut health.
Antioxidant properties: Contains antioxidants that help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Energy boost: High in complex carbohydrates, providing a steady source of energy.
Supports bone health: Contains phosphorus, which is important for bone strength and formation.
Aids in digestion: Contains enzymes that can help break down starches and proteins.
Potential prebiotic effects: May promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
Flavoring agent: Adds a distinct, sweet flavor to various foods and beverages.
Natural sweetener: Can be used as an alternative to refined sugar in some applications.
Supports muscle growth: Contains proteins and amino acids beneficial for muscle development.
May help with sleep: Contains hordenine, which may have mild sedative effects.
Versatile ingredient: Used in brewing, baking, and food manufacturing.
May have cholesterol-lowering effects: Some studies suggest malt may help reduce LDL cholesterol levels.

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 ).
