Traditional malt whiskey is made from malted barley, which contains gluten, so it is not considered gluten-free. However, some distilleries produce whiskey from gluten-free grains like corn or sorghum, which can be labeled as gluten-free malt whiskey alternatives.
Antioxidant properties: Malt whiskey contains ellagic acid, which may help fight free radicals in the body.
Potential cardiovascular benefits: Moderate consumption may help increase good cholesterol (HDL) levels.
Possible reduction in blood clots: Some studies suggest it may help reduce the risk of blood clots.
Potential cognitive benefits: Moderate intake might be associated with a lower risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
Stress relief: Small amounts may help reduce stress and anxiety for some individuals.
Potential diabetes management: Some research suggests moderate consumption may help regulate insulin and glucose levels.
Digestive aid: It may stimulate digestive enzymes, potentially aiding digestion when consumed in moderation.
Possible anti-inflammatory effects: Some compounds in whiskey might have anti-inflammatory properties.
Potential weight management: Whiskey is relatively low in calories compared to other alcoholic beverages.
Sleep aid: A small amount might help some people relax and fall asleep more easily.It’s important to note that these benefits are associated with moderate consumption only. Excessive alcohol intake can lead to numerous health problems and outweigh any potential benefits. Always consult with a healthcare professional about alcohol consumption and its effects on your individual health.
Pregnant women: Alcohol consumption during pregnancy can lead to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.

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 ).
