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 barley malt?
Barley malt contains significant amounts of gluten. The exact amount can vary depending on the processing methods used, but it generally ranges from 40 to 60 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. This level is well above the 20 ppm threshold considered safe for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Therefore, barley malt is not considered gluten-free and should be avoided by individuals who need to follow a gluten-free diet.
Can some celiacs tolerate barley?
Most people with celiac disease cannot tolerate barley, as it contains gluten. However, some research suggests a small percentage of celiacs may be able to consume barley in limited amounts. This potential tolerance is thought to be due to differences in how individuals process the specific type of gluten found in barley. It's crucial for celiacs to consult with their doctor before attempting to introduce barley into their diet, as reactions can be severe.
Why is malt not gluten-free?
Malt is not gluten-free because it is typically made from barley, which contains gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. During the malting process, the barley grains are germinated and then dried, but this does not remove the gluten protein. As a result, any product containing malt or malt extract is not considered gluten-free and should be avoided by those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Does barley have more gluten than wheat?
Wheat generally contains more gluten than barley. While both grains contain gluten proteins, wheat's gluten content is typically higher and stronger. Barley does have some gluten, but it's usually less than wheat and has a different composition. For those with gluten sensitivities, neither grain is considered safe to consume.
