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

Does meringue have gluten?
Meringue itself does not typically contain gluten. It is made primarily from egg whites and sugar, neither of which contain gluten. However, it's important to be cautious of potential cross-contamination if the meringue is prepared in a facility that also handles gluten-containing ingredients. Always check labels or ask about preparation methods if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Do meringue nests contain gluten?
Meringue nests are typically gluten-free. They are made primarily from egg whites and sugar, neither of which contain gluten. However, it's always important to check the specific ingredients and preparation methods, as some recipes may include additives or be prepared in facilities that process gluten-containing foods. When in doubt, it's best to ask the baker or manufacturer directly about the gluten content of their meringue nests.
What is meringue powder made of?
Meringue powder is primarily made of dried egg whites. It also typically contains sugar, cornstarch, and cream of tartar. Some brands may include additional ingredients like vanilla flavoring or anti-caking agents. Meringue powder is designed to be a shelf-stable alternative to fresh egg whites for baking and decorating purposes.
What is a substitute for meringue powder?
A common substitute for meringue powder is egg whites. You can use fresh egg whites or pasteurized egg whites from a carton. For recipes that call for meringue powder, typically 2 tablespoons of meringue powder can be replaced with 2 egg whites. However, keep in mind that using fresh egg whites may slightly alter the texture and stability of the final product compared to meringue powder.
