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 potato starch?
Potato starch is naturally gluten-free. It is derived from potatoes, which do not contain gluten. This makes potato starch a safe option for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. However, it's always important to check labels for potential cross-contamination during processing.
What is modified potato starch made of?
Modified potato starch is made from regular potato starch that has been chemically or physically altered. The modification process changes the structure of the starch molecules to enhance certain properties like thickening ability or stability. It typically starts with extracting starch from potatoes, then treating it with chemicals, enzymes, or heat to achieve the desired modifications. The resulting product has different characteristics from native potato starch, making it useful in various food and industrial applications.
How much gluten is in modified wheat starch?
The gluten content in modified wheat starch can vary. Generally, modified wheat starch contains significantly less gluten than regular wheat flour. However, it may not be completely gluten-free unless specifically labeled as such. People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should consult product labels or manufacturers for precise gluten content information.
Is modified rice starch gluten-free?
Modified rice starch is generally considered gluten-free. Rice itself is naturally gluten-free, and the modification process typically does not introduce gluten. However, it's always important to check product labels or contact manufacturers to confirm gluten-free status. Cross-contamination during processing can sometimes be a concern for those with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity.
