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

Can celiacs eat buckwheat flour?
Yes, celiacs can generally eat buckwheat flour. Buckwheat is naturally gluten-free, despite having "wheat" in its name. It's actually a seed, not a grain, and is unrelated to wheat. However, celiacs should always check labels to ensure the buckwheat flour hasn't been cross-contaminated with gluten-containing grains during processing.
Is buckwheat anti-inflammatory?
Buckwheat has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. Studies have found that it contains compounds like rutin and quercetin that can help reduce inflammation in the body. Additionally, buckwheat is rich in antioxidants which can combat oxidative stress and inflammation. However, more research is needed to fully understand buckwheat's anti-inflammatory effects in humans.
Is buckwheat flour healthier than flour?
Buckwheat flour is generally considered healthier than regular wheat flour. It is gluten-free and contains more protein, fiber, and minerals like iron and magnesium. Buckwheat flour also has a lower glycemic index, meaning it causes a slower rise in blood sugar levels. However, the overall healthiness of any flour depends on how it's used in cooking and as part of a balanced diet.
Can I substitute buckwheat flour for gluten-free plain flour?
Yes, you can substitute buckwheat flour for gluten-free plain flour in many recipes. However, keep in mind that buckwheat flour has a distinctive nutty flavor and darker color, which may affect the taste and appearance of your final product. It also tends to absorb more liquid than regular flour, so you may need to adjust the amount of liquid in your recipe. For best results, consider using a blend of buckwheat flour and other gluten-free flours to achieve a texture closer to that of wheat flour.
