Health Information
Benefits of Magnesium Stearate

Magnesium (a component of magnesium stearate): – Supports bone health – Helps regulate muscle and nerve function – Aids in energy production – Assists in protein synthesis – Helps maintain a healthy heart rhythm – May help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes – Can help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety

Stearic acid (a component of magnesium stearate): – May help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels – Could potentially reduce the risk of heart disease – Acts as a source of energy for the bodyIt’s important to note that magnesium stearate itself is used in such small quantities in supplements and medications that it’s unlikely to provide these health benefits directly. The benefits listed above are associated with consuming magnesium and stearic acid from food sources or dedicated supplements, not from the trace amounts found in magnesium stearate used as an additive.

Who should avoid Magnesium Stearate

Those with known allergies or sensitivities to magnesium stearate

Individuals with severe magnesium sensitivities or allergies

People with a history of adverse reactions to magnesium-containing supplements or medications

Those with kidney problems, as they may have difficulty processing excess magnesium

Individuals on a strict low-magnesium diet for medical reasons

People with specific gastrointestinal conditions that may be aggravated by magnesium stearate

Those who are concerned about potential nutrient absorption issues (although evidence is limited)

Individuals seeking to avoid all synthetic or processed additives in their diet or supplements

People with specific religious or dietary restrictions that prohibit the consumption of animal-derived products (as some magnesium stearate is derived from animal sources)

Those who are taking medications that may interact with magnesium (always consult with a healthcare provider)It’s important to note that for most people, the small amounts of magnesium stearate found in supplements and medications are generally considered safe. However, if you have concerns, it’s best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

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 there gluten in magnesium stearate?
Magnesium stearate itself does not contain gluten. It is a compound made from magnesium and stearic acid, neither of which are derived from gluten-containing grains. However, there is a small possibility of cross-contamination during manufacturing if the facility also processes gluten-containing products. For those with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity, it's best to check with the manufacturer about their production processes to ensure there's no risk of gluten exposure.
Is magnesium safe for celiacs?
Magnesium is generally considered safe for people with celiac disease. Pure magnesium supplements should not contain gluten. However, some magnesium products may have added ingredients or fillers that could potentially contain gluten. It's always best for celiacs to check labels carefully and consult with their doctor before starting any new supplement.
Why avoid magnesium stearate?
Some people avoid magnesium stearate due to concerns about its potential negative health effects. Critics claim it may interfere with nutrient absorption and impact the immune system. However, scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited, and magnesium stearate is generally recognized as safe by regulatory agencies. The majority of studies indicate that magnesium stearate is harmless in the small amounts typically used in supplements and medications.
What is magnesium stearate made of?
Magnesium stearate is a compound made of magnesium and stearic acid. Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid derived from animal or vegetable fats and oils. The magnesium salt of stearic acid forms a fine, white powder that is commonly used as a lubricant in pharmaceuticals and supplements. Magnesium stearate is considered safe for consumption in small amounts and is often used to prevent ingredients from sticking to manufacturing equipment.
