Is Rye Alcohol Gluten Free?
Rye alcohol, such as rye whiskey, is not considered gluten-free because it is made from rye grain, which contains gluten. However, some experts argue that the distillation process removes gluten proteins, potentially making the final product safe for most people with gluten sensitivities, though this is still debated and not universally accepted.

Antioxidant properties: Rye contains antioxidants that may help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Potential Cardiovascular Benefits: Moderate alcohol consumption, including rye alcohol, has been associated with improved heart health in some studies. This is often linked to the presence of antioxidants and other beneficial compounds in rye
Stress reduction: Like other alcoholic beverages, rye alcohol may help reduce stress and promote relaxation when consumed responsibly.
Potential Cognitive Benefits: Some studies suggest that moderate alcohol consumption may be associated with a reduced risk of cognitive decline in older adults, although more specific research on rye alcohol is needed
Digestive aid: Rye alcohol may stimulate appetite and aid digestion when consumed in small amounts before or after meals.
Blood sugar regulation: Rye has a lower glycemic index compared to other grains, which may help regulate blood sugar levels.
Source of nutrients: Rye contains vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins, iron, and magnesium.
Potential anti-inflammatory effects: Some compounds in rye may have anti-inflammatory properties.
Weight management: Rye is high in fiber, which may contribute to feelings of fullness and aid in weight management.
It’s important to note that these potential benefits are associated with moderate consumption, and excessive alcohol intake can lead to numerous health problems. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice on alcohol consumption.

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 ).
