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 1

Is maltitol derived from wheat?
Maltitol is not typically derived from wheat. It is usually produced from maltose, which is derived from starch. Common sources for maltitol production include corn, potatoes, and sometimes wheat starch. However, the final product does not contain wheat proteins, making it generally safe for those with wheat allergies or celiac disease.
Does maltitol cause IBS?
Maltitol does not directly cause IBS, but it can trigger symptoms in people who already have IBS or are sensitive to sugar alcohols. It is known to have a laxative effect and can cause digestive discomfort, bloating, and gas in some individuals. These effects are more pronounced when consumed in large quantities. If you have IBS or digestive sensitivities, it's best to limit or avoid maltitol consumption.
Is maltitol the same as stevia?
No, maltitol and stevia are not the same. Maltitol is a sugar alcohol derived from maltose, while stevia is a natural sweetener extracted from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. Maltitol provides about half the calories of sugar and has a similar taste, but can cause digestive issues in some people when consumed in large amounts. Stevia, on the other hand, is calorie-free and much sweeter than sugar, but some people find it has a bitter aftertaste.
Is maltitol a fake sugar?
Maltitol is not a "fake sugar" in the strictest sense, but it is a sugar alcohol used as a sugar substitute. It is derived from maltose, a natural sugar found in many plants. While maltitol provides sweetness similar to sugar, it has fewer calories and a lower glycemic index. However, it can cause digestive issues in some people when consumed in large amounts.
