    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 there gluten in malt flour?
    Yes, malt flour typically contains gluten. Malt flour is made from barley, which is a gluten-containing grain. The malting process does not remove the gluten from barley. Therefore, people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid malt flour.
    Is barley flour high in gluten?
    Barley flour does contain gluten, but it is generally lower in gluten than wheat flour. The gluten content in barley flour is typically around 5-8%, compared to 12-14% in wheat flour. However, barley flour is not considered gluten-free and is not suitable for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. For those who need to avoid gluten entirely, it's best to choose certified gluten-free flours instead.
    Why is malt not gluten-free?
    Malt is not gluten-free because it is typically made from barley, which contains gluten. The malting process does not remove the gluten proteins from the grain. Even when malt is made from other grains, there is often cross-contamination with gluten-containing grains during processing. For these reasons, malt and malt-derived ingredients are generally considered unsafe for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
    What is the difference between barley flour and malted barley flour?
    Barley flour is made from ground raw barley grains. Malted barley flour, on the other hand, is made from barley that has been allowed to germinate before being dried and ground. The malting process activates enzymes in the barley, which break down some of the starches into sugars. This results in malted barley flour having a sweeter taste and different baking properties compared to regular barley flour.
