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 Dash seasoning have gluten?
Dash seasoning is generally considered gluten-free. The main ingredients in most Dash seasoning blends are herbs, spices, and salt, which do not contain gluten. However, it's always important to check the specific product label for the most up-to-date information. If you have celiac disease or a severe gluten sensitivity, it's best to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the product's gluten-free status.
Can the DASH diet be gluten-free?
Yes, the DASH diet can be adapted to be gluten-free. The DASH diet emphasizes fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, which can include gluten-free options like quinoa, rice, and corn. By selecting gluten-free whole grains and avoiding wheat-based products, individuals can follow a gluten-free version of the DASH diet. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian to ensure nutritional needs are met when modifying any diet plan.
What seasonings are not gluten-free?
Most pure herbs and spices are naturally gluten-free. However, some seasoning blends and mixes may contain gluten ingredients as fillers or anti-caking agents. Common culprits include products with wheat starch, malt flavoring, or hydrolyzed wheat protein. Always check labels carefully, especially for seasoned salt blends, bouillon cubes, and flavoring packets.
Does gluten-free have a dash?
The term "gluten-free" does not typically have a dash. It is generally written as two separate words without any hyphen. However, you may occasionally see it hyphenated as "gluten-free" in some informal contexts. For consistency and adherence to standard usage, it's best to write it as two separate words: gluten free.
