    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

    Who Cannot eat chia seeds?
    Individuals with a known allergy to chia seeds should avoid consuming them. People taking blood thinners or with bleeding disorders may need to be cautious with chia seeds due to their omega-3 content. Those with digestive issues like inflammatory bowel disease may need to limit or avoid chia seeds. It's always best to consult with a healthcare provider before adding chia seeds to your diet if you have any health concerns.
    Are chia seeds an inflammatory food?
    Chia seeds are generally considered anti-inflammatory, not inflammatory. They contain omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber, which can help reduce inflammation in the body. Some studies have shown that consuming chia seeds may help lower markers of inflammation. However, as with any food, individual reactions can vary, so it's best to pay attention to how your body responds if you include chia seeds in your diet.
    What seeds are not gluten-free?
    Seeds are generally gluten-free, as gluten is a protein found in certain grains, not in seeds. However, there can be cross-contamination issues with some seeds during processing or packaging. Wheat berries, which are technically seeds, contain gluten and are not gluten-free. It's always best to check labels and choose certified gluten-free seeds if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
    Can celiacs eat seeds?
    Yes, most seeds are generally safe for people with celiac disease to eat. Seeds are naturally gluten-free and can be a great addition to a celiac-friendly diet. However, it's important to check that seeds haven't been processed in facilities that also handle gluten-containing grains, to avoid cross-contamination. Always read labels carefully and choose seeds that are certified gluten-free for the safest option.
