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 ).

Gin Old Fashioned:Use a high-quality gin instead of whiskey for a more herbaceous and aromatic cocktail. This variation works particularly well with botanical-forward gins, creating a refreshing yet sophisticated drink that's perfect for gin enthusiasts.Remember, all of these alternatives use naturally gluten-free base spirits, making them safe options for those avoiding gluten.

Frequently
Asked Questions

What cocktails are not gluten-free?
Most distilled spirits used in cocktails are gluten-free, but some cocktails may contain gluten-containing ingredients. Beer-based cocktails like Micheladas or Beer Margaritas are not gluten-free. Cocktails made with malt-based liquors such as certain flavored vodkas or malt liquors are not gluten-free. Some mixers, syrups, or garnishes used in cocktails may also contain gluten, so it's important to check all ingredients.
Why is bourbon not gluten-free?
Bourbon is not considered gluten-free because it is made primarily from corn but also contains other grains, typically including wheat, rye, or barley. These grains contain gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. While the distillation process is believed to remove most gluten proteins, there may still be trace amounts present in the final product. For this reason, many experts advise those with gluten-related disorders to avoid bourbon and other grain-based spirits.
Are regular old fashioned oats gluten-free?
Regular old fashioned oats are naturally gluten-free. However, they are often processed in facilities that also handle wheat, barley, and rye, which can lead to cross-contamination. Due to this risk, many people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity avoid regular oats. For those who need to strictly avoid gluten, it's best to choose oats that are specifically labeled as gluten-free.
Does whiskey have gluten in it?
Whiskey is generally considered gluten-free. The distillation process removes gluten proteins from the final product, even when made from gluten-containing grains like barley or rye. However, some people with extreme gluten sensitivity may still react to whiskey. It's always best to consult with a doctor or carefully read labels if you have celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance.
