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

Which grain is gluten-free?
Rice is a gluten-free grain. Corn is also gluten-free. Quinoa, despite not being a true grain, is considered a gluten-free grain alternative. Oats are naturally gluten-free, but may be contaminated during processing, so certified gluten-free oats should be chosen.
Can celiacs eat einkorn?
Einkorn is an ancient wheat variety that contains gluten. While some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity report tolerating einkorn better than modern wheat, it is still not considered safe for those with celiac disease. The gluten in einkorn can still trigger an autoimmune response in celiacs. Therefore, individuals with celiac disease should avoid einkorn and consult with their healthcare provider before considering its consumption.
Was ancient bread gluten-free?
Ancient bread was not necessarily gluten-free. Many ancient grains like wheat, barley, and rye contained gluten. However, some ancient breads made from naturally gluten-free grains like millet or sorghum would have been gluten-free. The concept of "gluten-free" as we know it today didn't exist in ancient times.
Is Costco ancient grains Granola gluten-free?
Costco's Ancient Grains Granola is not gluten-free. It contains ingredients like rolled oats and barley, which contain gluten. This product is not suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Consumers looking for gluten-free options should choose specifically labeled gluten-free granolas instead.
