Is Tonic Gluten Free?
Tonic water itself is typically gluten-free as it is primarily made from carbonated water, quinine, and sweeteners. However, it’s always best to check the specific brand and product label, as some flavored or specialty tonic waters might contain ingredients derived from gluten-containing sources or be produced in facilities that process gluten.
Malaria prevention: Historically, quinine was used to prevent and treat malaria, though modern medications are now preferred.
Leg cramp relief: Some people use tonic water to alleviate leg cramps, although scientific evidence is limited.
Low-calorie mixer: When used as a mixer for alcoholic beverages, it’s a lower-calorie option compared to some other mixers.
Hydration: Like other non-alcoholic beverages, it can contribute to daily fluid intake.
Digestive aid: Some people claim it helps with digestion, but this is largely anecdotal.
Fever reduction: Quinine has been used to reduce fever, though this is not a primary medical use today.
Appetite stimulation: Some individuals report increased appetite after consuming tonic water.It’s important to note that tonic water also contains sugar or artificial sweeteners and should be consumed in moderation. The health benefits are generally minimal, and excessive consumption can lead to side effects due to quinine content. Always consult a healthcare professional for medical advice.
People with quinine sensitivity or allergy: Tonic water contains quinine, which can cause adverse reactions in sensitive individuals.
Those taking certain medications: Quinine can interact with various drugs, including blood thinners, antiarrhythmics, and some antibiotics.
Individuals with liver or kidney problems: These organs are responsible for processing and eliminating quinine from the body.
Pregnant women: High doses of quinine have been associated with birth defects, so pregnant women are advised to avoid or limit tonic water consumption.
People with a history of thrombocytopenia: Quinine can potentially cause a drop in blood platelet count in some individuals.
Those with myasthenia gravis: Quinine may worsen symptoms of this neuromuscular disorder.
Individuals with optic neuritis: Quinine can potentially exacerbate this condition.
People with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency: Quinine may trigger hemolytic anemia in these individuals.
Those watching their sugar intake: Many tonic waters contain added sugars or high-fructose corn syrup.
Individuals with a history of kidney stones: The high phosphorus content in tonic water may contribute to kidney stone formation in susceptible people.It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns about consuming tonic water, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions or are taking medications.

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 ).
