Is Ouzo Gluten Free?
Ouzo, a traditional Greek anise-flavored aperitif, is typically gluten-free as it is made from grapes and flavored with herbs and spices, not grains. However, it’s always best to check the specific brand and label, as some manufacturers may use grain-based alcohol or add ingredients that contain gluten.
Antioxidant properties: Ouzo contains anise, which has antioxidants that may help protect cells from damage.
Digestive aid: The anise in Ouzo may help stimulate digestion and relieve bloating or indigestion.
Antimicrobial effects: Some compounds in anise have shown antimicrobial properties in studies.
Potential stress relief: Like other alcoholic beverages, Ouzo may help some people relax when consumed in moderation.
Source of certain nutrients: Ouzo contains small amounts of minerals like potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
Possible respiratory benefits: Anise has been traditionally used to help with respiratory issues, though more research is needed.
Potential anti-inflammatory effects: Some compounds in anise may have anti-inflammatory properties.However, it’s important to note:- These benefits are primarily associated with moderate consumption.- Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to numerous health problems.- The health benefits of Ouzo are not well-studied and more research is needed.- Individuals with certain health conditions or those taking medications should consult a doctor before consuming alcohol.
Pregnant women: Alcohol consumption during pregnancy can lead to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.
Individuals with liver disease or compromised liver function: Alcohol can further damage the liver.
People with a history of alcohol abuse or addiction: Ouzo, like any alcoholic beverage, can trigger relapse.
Those taking medications that interact with alcohol: Many medications can have dangerous interactions with alcohol.
Individuals with pancreatitis: Alcohol can exacerbate this condition.
People with certain digestive disorders: The high alcohol content may irritate the digestive system.
Those with a history of seizures: Alcohol can lower the seizure threshold.
Individuals with gout: Alcohol can trigger gout attacks in susceptible individuals.
People with depression or other mental health conditions: Alcohol can worsen symptoms of these conditions.
Individuals operating machinery or driving: Ouzo can impair judgment and reaction times.
Anyone under the legal drinking age: Consumption of alcohol by minors is illegal in most countries.
Those with allergies to anise or other ingredients in Ouzo: This could lead to allergic reactions.Remember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional about alcohol consumption if you have any health concerns or are taking medications.

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 ).
