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

Is amaranth inflammatory?
Amaranth is generally considered to be anti-inflammatory rather than inflammatory. Some studies have shown that amaranth contains compounds that may help reduce inflammation in the body. These include peptides, flavonoids, and other antioxidants that can combat oxidative stress and inflammation. However, more research is needed to fully understand amaranth's effects on inflammation in humans.
Can celiacs eat amaranth?
Yes, celiacs can eat amaranth. Amaranth is naturally gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. It's a nutritious pseudocereal that can be a great alternative to gluten-containing grains in a celiac diet. However, as with any food, it's important to ensure the amaranth is not cross-contaminated with gluten during processing or preparation.
Who should avoid amaranth?
People with known allergies to amaranth or other pseudocereals should avoid consuming it. Those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should exercise caution, as amaranth is sometimes processed in facilities that also handle gluten-containing grains. Individuals with kidney problems may need to limit their intake due to amaranth's high oxalate content. Pregnant women should consult their healthcare provider before adding amaranth to their diet, as its safety during pregnancy has not been thoroughly studied.
Why was amaranth outlawed?
Amaranth was outlawed in the 16th century by Spanish colonial authorities in the Americas. The grain was an important part of Aztec religious ceremonies, which the Spanish saw as pagan rituals that needed to be suppressed. They believed banning amaranth would help in their efforts to convert the indigenous population to Christianity. The prohibition lasted for centuries, nearly driving the crop to extinction in some areas.
