Wheat beer is not gluten-free, as it is made primarily from wheat, which contains gluten. For those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, there are gluten-free beer alternatives made from grains like sorghum, rice, or millet, but traditional wheat beer should be avoided.
Lower in calories: Wheat beers are generally lighter and lower in calories compared to many other beer styles.
Rich in B vitamins: Wheat beers contain significant amounts of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, and B12, which are important for various bodily functions.
High in protein: The wheat content provides more protein than regular barley-based beers.
Source of fiber: Wheat beers contain dietary fiber, which can aid in digestion and promote gut health.
Antioxidant properties: Contains phenolic compounds that act as antioxidants, potentially helping to reduce oxidative stress in the body.
Potential cardiovascular benefits: Moderate consumption may help increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
Hydration: Due to its lower alcohol content, wheat beer can contribute to hydration when consumed in moderation.
Improved bone health: Contains silicon, which may help in maintaining strong bones.
Potential anti-inflammatory effects: Some compounds in wheat beer may have mild anti-inflammatory properties.
Stress reduction: Like other alcoholic beverages, moderate consumption may help reduce stress and promote relaxation.
Remember, these benefits are associated with moderate consumption. Excessive alcohol intake can lead to numerous health problems and negate any potential benefits.
People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, as wheat beer contains significant amounts of gluten
Individuals with wheat allergies
Those following a strict gluten-free diet for health reasons
People with severe barley allergies, as some wheat beers may contain barley
Individuals with yeast allergies or sensitivities
Those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet, as wheat beers tend to be higher in carbohydrates

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 ).
