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 cereal is gluten free?
Many cereals are naturally gluten-free, including rice-based cereals, corn-based cereals, and quinoa-based cereals. Popular gluten-free cereal brands include Chex (most varieties), Rice Krispies, and Fruity Pebbles. Oats are naturally gluten-free, but may be contaminated during processing, so look for certified gluten-free oat cereals. Always check labels carefully, as some cereals may contain hidden sources of gluten or be processed in facilities that also handle wheat products.
Are PEBBLES gluten free?
Most pebbles are naturally gluten-free as they are made of rock and minerals. However, some decorative or edible pebbles used in crafts or cooking may contain gluten-containing ingredients or coatings. It's important to check the packaging or ingredients list if using pebbles for consumption or in food-related projects. For natural pebbles found outdoors, there is no gluten content to worry about.
Are Fruity PEBBLES with marshmallows gluten free?
Fruity PEBBLES with marshmallows are generally considered gluten-free. Post Consumer Brands, the manufacturer, labels them as gluten-free on their packaging. However, it's always important for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity to check the most current ingredient list and manufacturing processes. While the main ingredients are rice and marshmallows, which are typically gluten-free, cross-contamination during production is always a possibility.
Is Lucky Charms really gluten free?
Lucky Charms cereal is considered gluten-free by its manufacturer, General Mills. The company states that all Lucky Charms varieties are made without gluten-containing ingredients. However, it's important to note that while the ingredients are gluten-free, the cereal is produced in facilities that also process wheat products. For individuals with severe gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, there is a small risk of cross-contamination, so it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before consuming.
