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

Is Butterscotch vodka gluten-free?
Butterscotch vodka is generally considered gluten-free. Most vodkas, including flavored varieties, are distilled from gluten-containing grains but the distillation process removes gluten proteins. However, some brands may add flavorings or other ingredients after distillation that could potentially contain gluten. It's always best to check with the specific manufacturer or look for a gluten-free label if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
What are the ingredients in Buttershots?
Buttershots is a butterscotch-flavored schnapps liqueur. Its main ingredients typically include neutral grain spirits, sugar, and artificial flavors. The exact recipe and proportions are proprietary information held by the manufacturer. While it tastes like butterscotch, it does not usually contain real butter or scotch whisky.
What schnapps are gluten-free?
Most fruit-flavored schnapps are gluten-free as they are typically made from fermented fruit juices. Schnapps made from grains like wheat or rye may contain gluten, so these should be avoided by those with gluten sensitivities. Pure distilled schnapps, even if made from gluten-containing grains, are generally considered gluten-free due to the distillation process. However, it's always best to check with the manufacturer or read labels carefully to ensure a specific schnapps product is truly gluten-free.
