    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

    Can celiacs have malted barley?
    Celiacs cannot safely consume malted barley. Malted barley contains gluten, which is harmful for people with celiac disease. Even small amounts of gluten can trigger an autoimmune response in celiacs, damaging the small intestine. Celiacs should avoid all products containing malted barley and other gluten-containing grains.
    How much gluten is in malted barley flour?
    Malted barley flour typically contains a significant amount of gluten. The exact gluten content can vary depending on the specific variety of barley and processing methods used. Generally, malted barley flour contains about 5-11% gluten by weight. This is less than wheat flour, which usually contains 12-14% gluten, but it's still enough to be problematic for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
    What is the difference between barley flour and malted barley flour?
    Barley flour is made from ground raw barley grains. Malted barley flour, on the other hand, is made from barley that has been allowed to germinate before being dried and ground. The malting process activates enzymes in the grain that break down starches into sugars. This results in malted barley flour having a sweeter taste and different baking properties compared to regular barley flour.
    What are the side effects of malted barley flour?
    Malted barley flour can potentially cause allergic reactions in individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. Some people may experience digestive issues such as bloating, gas, or abdominal discomfort when consuming products containing malted barley flour. In rare cases, it may lead to skin rashes or respiratory problems in sensitive individuals. However, for most people without specific allergies or intolerances, malted barley flour is generally considered safe and does not typically cause significant side effects.
