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 Jim Beam vanilla whiskey gluten-free?
Jim Beam Vanilla whiskey is generally considered gluten-free. The base whiskey is made from corn, rye, and malted barley, which are naturally gluten-free ingredients. The distillation process further removes any potential gluten proteins. However, as with any flavored spirit, it's always best to check with the manufacturer directly if you have severe gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
Is Jim Beam safe for celiac disease?
Jim Beam bourbon whiskey is generally considered safe for people with celiac disease. This is because it is made from corn, not wheat, rye, or barley. The distillation process also removes gluten proteins. However, individuals with severe gluten sensitivity should consult their doctor before consuming any alcohol.
Which bourbons are not gluten-free?
All true bourbon whiskey is inherently gluten-free. Bourbon is made from a mash of at least 51% corn, with the remainder typically being other gluten-free grains like rye or barley. The distillation process removes gluten proteins. However, some flavored bourbons or bourbon-based liqueurs may contain added ingredients that contain gluten, so it's always best to check the label if you have gluten sensitivities.
Is Jim Beam wheat free?
Jim Beam bourbon whiskey is primarily made from corn, not wheat. The mash bill for Jim Beam typically consists of corn, rye, and malted barley. As such, Jim Beam's standard bourbon offerings are generally considered wheat-free. However, it's always best to check the specific product label or contact the manufacturer directly if you have severe allergies or concerns about wheat content.
