Is Pacifico Beer Gluten Free?
Pacifico Beer is not gluten-free. It is a traditional lager made with malted barley, which contains gluten.

Low in Calories (Compared to Other Beers)
Pacifico Beer is a lighter lager, which means it typically contains fewer calories compared to heavier craft beers or stouts. A typical 12-ounce serving of Pacifico contains about 140 calories, making it a relatively low-calorie option for beer drinkers who want to enjoy a refreshing beverage without overloading on calories.
Low in Alcohol Content
Pacifico Beer has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of about 4.5%, which is lower than many stronger craft beers or high-alcohol lagers. This lower alcohol content means it’s less likely to lead to intoxication quickly and may make it easier to enjoy in social settings without the risks associated with high-alcohol beverages.
Source of B Vitamins (from Yeast)
Like other beers, Pacifico contains small amounts of B vitamins such as niacin, riboflavin, and folate, which come from the yeast used in the brewing process. These vitamins play a role in energy metabolism and support healthy brain function. While the levels of B vitamins in beer are not significant, they can still contribute to your daily intake when consumed in moderation.
Rich in Antioxidants (from Barley and Hops)
Beer is brewed from barley and hops, both of which contain antioxidants such as polyphenols and flavonoids. These antioxidants help neutralize free radicals, which can reduce oxidative stress in the body and protect cells from damage. However, the antioxidant content in beer is relatively low compared to fruits, vegetables, and other nutrient-rich foods.
Hydration (Compared to Stronger Alcoholic Drinks)
Pacifico Beer is primarily water, and since it has a lower alcohol content than spirits or cocktails, it may help maintain hydration levels better when consumed moderately. Although beer can still dehydrate you due to its alcohol content, its high water content compared to hard liquors makes it a lighter option in terms of hydration. However, it’s important to drink water alongside beer to prevent dehydration.
Digestive Benefits (in Small Amounts)
Beer contains small amounts of fiber from barley, which can support digestion. In addition, some studies suggest that moderate beer consumption may help stimulate the production of stomach acids, potentially aiding digestion after meals. However, excessive beer consumption can have the opposite effect, irritating the digestive system.

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 ).
