    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 masa?
    Masa is typically gluten-free. It is made from corn that has been treated with lime and ground into a dough. However, it's always important to check labels or verify with manufacturers to ensure no gluten-containing ingredients have been added. Those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should exercise caution and confirm the masa's gluten-free status before consuming.
    Are tamales usually gluten-free?
    Tamales are often naturally gluten-free, as they are traditionally made with masa (corn-based dough) rather than wheat flour. However, it's important to note that some tamale recipes may include gluten-containing ingredients in the filling or preparation process. Cross-contamination can also be a concern if tamales are prepared in a kitchen that handles gluten products. To be certain, it's always best to check the specific ingredients or ask the maker if you have gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
    Is masa healthier than flour?
    Masa, which is made from corn treated with lime, is generally considered healthier than refined wheat flour. It contains more fiber, vitamins, and minerals than standard wheat flour. Masa is also naturally gluten-free, making it a good option for those with gluten sensitivities. However, the overall healthiness of a product depends on how it's prepared and what other ingredients are used.
    What's the difference between corn flour and masa harina?
    Corn flour is made from finely ground dried corn kernels, while masa harina is made from corn that has been treated with lime water (calcium hydroxide) before grinding. This lime treatment, called nixtamalization, alters the corn's flavor and texture, making masa harina distinct from regular corn flour. Masa harina is primarily used for making tortillas, tamales, and other Mexican dishes, whereas corn flour has broader applications in baking and cooking. The nixtamalization process also increases the nutritional value of masa harina by making certain nutrients more bioavailable.
