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

What does shortening do to gluten?
Shortening interferes with gluten formation in baked goods. It coats flour particles, preventing them from fully absorbing water and developing strong gluten networks. This results in a more tender, crumbly texture rather than a chewy one. The fat in shortening also lubricates gluten strands, making the final product softer and more delicate.
What is Crisco Shortening made of?
Crisco shortening is primarily made of vegetable oils that have been hydrogenated to create a solid fat at room temperature. The main ingredients are soybean oil and fully hydrogenated palm oil. It also contains additives like mono and diglycerides to help stabilize the product. Crisco no longer contains trans fats, as the company reformulated its recipe in response to health concerns.
What can I use instead of Crisco Shortening?
There are several alternatives you can use instead of Crisco shortening. Butter is a common substitute that works well in most recipes. Coconut oil is another option that can provide a similar texture in baked goods. For a healthier alternative, you could try using applesauce or mashed bananas in some recipes, though the results may vary.
What can I use instead of shortening gluten free?
In gluten-free baking, you can use butter or coconut oil as alternatives to shortening. Another option is to use applesauce or mashed banana, which can add moisture and help bind ingredients. For savory recipes, you might try using olive oil or avocado as a substitute. Depending on the specific recipe, you may need to adjust other ingredients or baking times to accommodate the substitution.
