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

Does caesar salad dressing contain gluten?
Traditional Caesar salad dressing does not typically contain gluten. The main ingredients are usually olive oil, egg yolks, lemon juice, anchovies, garlic, and Parmesan cheese, none of which contain gluten. However, some store-bought or restaurant versions may include additives or thickeners that contain gluten. It's always best to check the ingredients list or ask the chef if you have gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
Why is Caesar salad not gluten-free?
Caesar salad itself is typically gluten-free, as its main ingredients (romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing) do not contain gluten. However, the croutons that are traditionally added to Caesar salad are made from bread, which usually contains wheat and therefore gluten. Some Caesar dressing recipes may also include Worcestershire sauce, which often contains gluten from malt vinegar or soy sauce. To make a truly gluten-free Caesar salad, one would need to omit the croutons and ensure all other ingredients, including the dressing, are certified gluten-free.
Is Caesar mix gluten-free?
Caesar salad dressing is typically not gluten-free. The traditional recipe includes Worcestershire sauce, which often contains gluten from malt vinegar or soy sauce. Some Caesar dressing mixes may also contain gluten as a thickener or stabilizer. To be certain, it's best to check the specific ingredients list or look for a product that is explicitly labeled gluten-free.
Is Dole Caesar salad kit gluten-free?
The Dole Caesar salad kit is not gluten-free. The croutons included in the kit contain wheat, which is a source of gluten. Additionally, the Caesar dressing may contain gluten-containing ingredients. If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it's best to avoid this product or prepare a Caesar salad from scratch using gluten-free ingredients.
