    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 buckwheat soba?
    Buckwheat itself is naturally gluten-free. However, many soba noodles are made with a mixture of buckwheat and wheat flour, which contains gluten. To be certain, you need to check the specific ingredients of the soba noodles you're considering. For those with gluten sensitivities, it's best to look for soba noodles labeled as 100% buckwheat or certified gluten-free.
    Are soba noodles 100% buckwheat?
    Soba noodles are not always 100% buckwheat. Traditional soba noodles typically contain a mix of buckwheat and wheat flour. The ratio can vary, but pure 100% buckwheat soba noodles do exist, though they are less common. The percentage of buckwheat in soba noodles can range from 20% to 100%, depending on the recipe and manufacturer.
    Why is buckwheat not gluten-free?
    Buckwheat is actually gluten-free. It is not a type of wheat, despite its name, but is instead a seed related to rhubarb. Buckwheat does not contain any gluten proteins. The confusion likely stems from its name and the fact that it's often used similarly to wheat in cooking.
    Are Korean buckwheat noodles gluten-free?
    Korean buckwheat noodles, also known as naengmyeon or soba noodles, are not always gluten-free. While buckwheat itself is naturally gluten-free, many commercially produced buckwheat noodles contain wheat flour as well. To ensure a gluten-free option, look for noodles made with 100% buckwheat flour. Always check the ingredient list or look for certified gluten-free labels when purchasing Korean buckwheat noodles.
