Milk Duds are generally considered to be gluten-free, as their main ingredients (sugar, corn syrup, milk, cocoa, and artificial flavors) do not contain gluten. However, it’s always recommended to check the specific product packaging or contact the manufacturer directly for the most up-to-date information, especially if you have severe gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, as manufacturing processes or ingredients may change over time.
Small source of calcium: Milk Duds contain milk, which provides a small amount of calcium.
Quick energy boost: The sugar content can provide a temporary energy boost.
Mood improvement: Like other sweets, they may temporarily improve mood due to sugar consumption.
Minimal fat content: Compared to some other candies, Milk Duds are relatively low in fat.
Small amount of protein: Due to the milk content, there’s a very small amount of protein.It’s important to note that these benefits are minimal, and Milk Duds should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. The high sugar content and lack of significant nutrients mean they should be treated as an occasional treat rather than a health food.

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 ).
