Is Peppermint Candy Gluten Free?
Generally speaking, pure peppermint candy is gluten-free as it typically contains only sugar, peppermint oil, and food coloring. However, it’s always important to check the ingredient list or contact the manufacturer to be certain, as some brands may use gluten-containing additives or process their candy in facilities that also handle gluten products.

Could potentially soothe an upset stomach or mild indigestion
Might help relieve minor throat irritation or coughing
May provide a small boost in alertness due to its strong scent
Could offer temporary relief from mild headaches for some people

Could provide a quick source of sugar for a temporary energy boost
Might help stimulate saliva production, which can aid in oral health
May contain small amounts of calcium if made with real peppermint oilIt’s important to note that these benefits are generally mild and primarily associated with peppermint itself rather than peppermint candy specifically. Candy should be consumed in moderation due to its high sugar content. For more substantial health benefits, consider using sugar-free peppermint products or peppermint tea.

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 ).
