Is Reese’S Peanut Butter Cups Gluten Free?
Yes, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are generally considered gluten-free. However, it’s important to note that while the standard milk chocolate peanut butter cups are gluten-free, some specialty varieties or seasonal shapes may contain gluten, so it’s always best to check the packaging or manufacturer’s website for the most up-to-date information.
Protein: The peanut butter in Reese’s cups provides some protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues.
Healthy fats: Peanuts contain monounsaturated fats, which can be beneficial for heart health when consumed in moderation.
Vitamin E: Peanuts are a good source of vitamin E, an antioxidant that supports immune function and skin health.
Magnesium: Peanuts contain magnesium, which is important for bone health and energy metabolism.
Fiber: Peanuts provide some dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and can help with feeling full.
B vitamins: Peanuts contain various B vitamins, which are important for energy production and metabolism.
Mood boost: The combination of sugar and fat can temporarily improve mood due to the release of feel-good hormones.It’s important to note that these potential benefits are overshadowed by the high sugar and calorie content of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. They should be consumed in moderation 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 ).
