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

How much gluten is in levothyroxine?
Levothyroxine itself does not contain gluten. However, some brands or formulations of levothyroxine may contain gluten in their inactive ingredients. It's important for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity to check with their pharmacist or manufacturer about specific brands. If concerned, patients should consult their healthcare provider about gluten-free alternatives.
Can celiac patients absorb levothyroxine?
Celiac disease can affect the absorption of levothyroxine in some patients. The inflammation and damage to the small intestine caused by celiac disease may impair the body's ability to properly absorb the medication. However, not all celiac patients will have issues with levothyroxine absorption, and the severity can vary. It's important for celiac patients taking levothyroxine to work closely with their healthcare provider to monitor thyroid function and adjust dosages as needed.
What is a gluten free alternative to levothyroxine?
There is no direct gluten-free alternative to levothyroxine, as it is a synthetic thyroid hormone medication. Levothyroxine itself is generally considered gluten-free, but some brands may contain gluten in their inactive ingredients. If you're concerned about gluten in your levothyroxine, consult your doctor or pharmacist about specific gluten-free formulations. Natural thyroid supplements are not recommended as alternatives without medical supervision.
What ingredients are in levothyroxine?
Levothyroxine typically contains synthetic thyroxine (T4), which is a manufactured version of the thyroid hormone. The active ingredient is sodium levothyroxine. It also includes inactive ingredients that may vary slightly between manufacturers, but often include fillers like microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, and magnesium stearate. Some formulations may contain additional inactive ingredients like coloring agents or preservatives.
