Malted barley syrup is typically not gluten-free because it is derived from barley, which contains gluten. However, some highly processed forms of malted barley syrup may have the gluten removed, but these are rare and should be clearly labeled as gluten-free if that is the case.
Rich in antioxidants, particularly ferulic acid, which may help protect against oxidative stress and inflammation
Contains essential minerals such as selenium, manganese, and copper
Provides a good source of B-complex vitamins, including niacin, thiamin, and riboflavin

May help boost energy levels due to its complex carbohydrate content
Contains enzymes that can aid in digestion
Provides a natural sweetness without artificial additives or preservatives
May support bone health due to its calcium and phosphorus content
Contains some protein, which is essential for various bodily functions
May have prebiotic properties, potentially supporting gut health
Offers a more nutrient-dense alternative to refined sugars in baking and cookingIt’s important to note that while malted barley syrup does offer some nutritional benefits, it should still be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, as it is still a form of sugar.
People with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, as malted barley contains gluten
Individuals with a barley allergy
Those following a strict gluten-free diet for any reason
People with wheat allergies, as there’s a risk of cross-contamination during processing
Individuals on a low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet, due to its high carbohydrate content
Those watching their calorie intake, as malted barley syrup is calorie-dense
Diabetics or those monitoring their blood sugar levels, as it can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose
People with fructose malabsorption or intolerance
Individuals following a paleo or grain-free diet
Those adhering to a low FODMAP diet, as barley is high in fructans
Anyone with malt allergies or sensitivitiesRemember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have specific health concerns or dietary restrictions.

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 ).
