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 EFFEN Vodka made with wheat?
Yes, EFFEN Vodka is made with wheat. It is a premium Dutch vodka that uses winter wheat as its base grain. The wheat is sourced from Northern France and the Netherlands. This wheat-based vodka is then distilled multiple times for smoothness.
Which vodkas are gluten-free?
Most vodkas are considered gluten-free, even if made from gluten-containing grains, due to the distillation process. However, for those with severe gluten sensitivities, it's safest to choose vodkas made from non-gluten sources like potatoes, corn, or grapes. Some popular gluten-free vodka brands include Tito's (made from corn), Chopin Potato Vodka, and Ciroc (made from grapes). Always check the label or contact the manufacturer if you're unsure about a specific brand's gluten content.
Is Paramount vodka gluten-free?
Paramount vodka is generally considered gluten-free. Like most vodkas, it is distilled from grains, which typically removes gluten proteins during the distillation process. However, Paramount does not explicitly market their vodka as gluten-free. For those with severe gluten sensitivities, it's always best to contact the manufacturer directly for the most up-to-date information.
Is EFFEN Vodka Cosmopolitan gluten-free?
EFFEN Vodka itself is gluten-free, as it is made from wheat that has been distilled, removing gluten proteins. The Cosmopolitan cocktail typically contains vodka, cranberry juice, lime juice, and triple sec or Cointreau. As long as all ingredients used are gluten-free, an EFFEN Vodka Cosmopolitan would be gluten-free. However, it's always best to check the specific ingredients and preparation method to ensure gluten-free status.
