Yes, pure white chocolate is typically gluten-free as it is made primarily from cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids, none of which contain gluten. However, it’s always important to check the label of any specific white chocolate product, as some may contain additives or be produced in facilities that also process gluten-containing ingredients, potentially leading to cross-contamination.
Contains antioxidants: White chocolate contains small amounts of antioxidants, particularly flavonoids, which can help protect cells from damage.
Source of calcium: White chocolate contains calcium, which is essential for strong bones and teeth.
Provides energy: The high calorie content can provide a quick energy boost when needed.
May improve mood: Chocolate, including white chocolate, contains compounds that can stimulate the release of endorphins, potentially improving mood.
Contains some essential minerals: White chocolate provides small amounts of minerals like phosphorus and zinc.
May support cardiovascular health: Some studies suggest that cocoa butter, a main ingredient in white chocolate, may have a neutral or slightly positive effect on cholesterol levels.
Potential cognitive benefits: The caffeine and theobromine in white chocolate may provide mild cognitive benefits, such as improved alertness.
Source of protein: White chocolate contains small amounts of protein, which is essential for various bodily functions.
May aid in blood sugar regulation: The fat content in white chocolate can slow down sugar absorption, potentially helping to regulate blood sugar levels.It’s important to note that these benefits are relatively minor compared to darker chocolate varieties, and white chocolate should be consumed in moderation due to its high sugar and calorie content.

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 ).
