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 ).

Frequently
Asked Questions 1

Is agave celiac safe?
Yes, agave is generally considered safe for people with celiac disease. Agave is naturally gluten-free, as it is derived from the agave plant and does not contain wheat, barley, or rye. However, as with any food product, there is always a small risk of cross-contamination during processing or packaging. To be absolutely certain, look for agave products that are specifically labeled as gluten-free.
Is agave wheat free?
Yes, agave is wheat free. Agave is derived from the agave plant, which is not related to wheat. It is naturally gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Agave can be used as a sweetener alternative in many wheat-free and gluten-free recipes.
Which tequilas are gluten-free?
All pure, 100% agave tequilas are naturally gluten-free. This is because tequila is made from the blue agave plant, which does not contain gluten. However, some mixto tequilas (those not made from 100% agave) may contain additives that could potentially include gluten. To be certain, always choose 100% agave tequila or check with the manufacturer if you have gluten sensitivities.
Why avoid agave nectar?
Agave nectar is often marketed as a healthy alternative to sugar, but it's actually highly processed and very high in fructose. The high fructose content can be harmful to the liver and may contribute to insulin resistance when consumed in large amounts. Agave nectar also lacks the nutrients and antioxidants found in less refined sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. For these reasons, it's generally best to avoid agave nectar or use it very sparingly.
