Generally speaking, pure distilled whiskey is considered gluten-free, even when made from gluten-containing grains, because the distillation process removes gluten proteins. However, some whiskeys may contain added flavors or other ingredients after distillation that could potentially introduce gluten, so it’s always best for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity to check with the manufacturer or choose certified gluten-free options.
Antioxidant properties: Whiskey contains ellagic acid, which may help neutralize free radicals in the body.
Potential heart health benefits: Moderate consumption may increase “good” HDL cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Possible diabetes management: Some studies suggest it may help regulate insulin and glucose levels.
Potential cognitive benefits: Moderate intake might reduce the risk of dementia and improve memory.
Stress reduction: The relaxing effects may help reduce stress and anxiety when consumed in moderation.
Potential weight management: Whiskey is relatively low in calories compared to other alcoholic drinks.
Possible cancer-fighting properties: Some research suggests it may have anti-cancer properties, though more studies are needed.
Digestive aid: It may stimulate digestive enzymes and help with digestion after a meal.
Possible longevity: Some studies link moderate alcohol consumption to increased life expectancy.
Potential cold and flu relief: The alcohol content may help fight off infections and provide temporary symptom relief.
Remember, these benefits are associated with moderate consumption. Excessive alcohol intake can lead to serious health problems and outweigh any potential benefits.

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 ).
