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 barley OK for gluten intolerance?
Barley is not safe for people with gluten intolerance. It contains gluten, which can trigger symptoms in those with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Individuals with gluten intolerance should avoid barley and products made with barley, such as many beers and some soups or stews. There are gluten-free alternatives available for those who need to avoid barley in their diet.
Can gluten allergy have barley malt extract?
Yes, individuals with gluten allergies or sensitivities should generally avoid barley malt extract. Barley malt extract is derived from barley, which contains gluten. Even though the gluten content in barley malt extract may be low, it can still potentially trigger reactions in people with gluten allergies. It's best for those with gluten issues to consult their doctor or dietitian and err on the side of caution by avoiding products containing barley malt extract.
Is barley flavoring gluten-free?
Barley flavoring is typically not gluten-free. Barley contains gluten, and flavoring derived from barley will likely contain gluten as well. People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid barley flavoring. It's important to carefully check ingredient labels and consult with manufacturers if unsure about the gluten content of a product containing barley flavoring.
Why is barley malt not gluten-free?
Barley malt is not gluten-free because barley naturally contains gluten proteins. Gluten is a group of proteins found in cereal grains like wheat, barley, and rye. The malting process, which involves germinating and drying barley, does not remove or destroy these gluten proteins. Therefore, any product made with barley malt, including many beers and some food items, will contain gluten and is not safe for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
