Is Rice Malt Gluten Free?
Rice malt is generally considered gluten-free, as rice does not naturally contain gluten. However, it’s important to check product labels or with manufacturers to ensure there’s no cross-contamination during processing, especially for those with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity.
Low glycemic index: Rice malt has a lower glycemic index compared to regular sugar, which means it may cause a slower and more gradual rise in blood sugar levels.
Gluten-free: Rice malt is naturally gluten-free, making it a suitable sweetener for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Source of complex carbohydrates: Rice malt provides complex carbohydrates, which can offer sustained energy release.
Contains some minerals: Rice malt may contain small amounts of minerals like magnesium, potassium, and zinc, though in minimal quantities.
Prebiotic properties: Some studies suggest that rice malt syrup may have prebiotic properties, potentially supporting gut health.
Free from fructose: Unlike some other sweeteners, rice malt doesn’t contain fructose, which may be beneficial for those with fructose intolerance.
Easily digestible: Rice malt is generally considered easy to digest for most people.
Natural sweetener: As a natural alternative to refined sugar, it may be preferred by those seeking to avoid artificial sweeteners.
People with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity: Although rice is naturally gluten-free, some rice malt products may be contaminated with gluten during processing. Always check for certified gluten-free labels.
Individuals with diabetes or insulin resistance: Rice malt has a high glycemic index, which can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels.
Those following a low-carb diet: Rice malt is high in carbohydrates and may not fit into low-carb dietary plans.
People with rice allergies: Although rare, some individuals may be allergic to rice and should avoid rice malt.
Infants under 12 months: Rice malt syrup is not recommended for babies due to potential arsenic content.
Those watching their calorie intake: Rice malt is calorie-dense and may not be suitable for individuals trying to lose weight.
People with fructose malabsorption: While rice malt is low in fructose, those with severe sensitivities may need to be cautious.
Individuals concerned about arsenic exposure: Rice products can contain trace amounts of arsenic, so excessive consumption should be avoided.Always consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian if you have concerns about including rice malt in your diet.

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 ).
