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 ).

Asked Questions

Is there gluten in Confectioners Sugar?
Confectioners sugar, also known as powdered sugar, typically does not contain gluten. It is usually made from finely ground granulated sugar mixed with a small amount of cornstarch to prevent clumping. However, it's always important to check the label, as some brands may use wheat starch instead of cornstarch. For those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it's safest to choose a brand that explicitly states it is gluten-free.
Is Domino's confectioners sugar gluten-free?
Domino's confectioners sugar is generally considered gluten-free. The main ingredient in confectioners sugar is typically regular sugar that has been ground into a fine powder.

It's always best to check the specific product label or contact the manufacturer directly to confirm if you have celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity.
What sugar is not gluten-free?
All pure forms of sugar are naturally gluten-free. However, some sugars may become contaminated with gluten during processing or packaging. Certain specialty sugars or sugar blends might contain gluten-containing additives. It's always best to check the label or contact the manufacturer if you have concerns about gluten in sugar products.
Can celiacs have icing sugar?
Celiacs can generally have pure icing sugar, as it is typically made from refined sugar which does not contain gluten. However, some icing sugar brands may add anti-caking agents or other additives that could potentially contain gluten. It's important for celiacs to carefully check the ingredients list or look for products specifically labeled as gluten-free. When in doubt, it's best to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the gluten-free status of their icing sugar.
