Health Information
Benefits of Monosodium Glutamate

Potential appetite control: Some studies suggest MSG may help regulate appetite and reduce overall food intake.

Sodium reduction: MSG contains less sodium than table salt, potentially allowing for lower sodium intake in foods.

Flavor enhancement: It can improve the taste of foods, potentially making healthier options more palatable.

Possible metabolic benefits: Some research indicates MSG might help improve insulin sensitivity and metabolism.

Nutrient absorption: MSG may enhance the absorption of certain nutrients in the digestive system.

Potential cognitive benefits: Limited studies suggest possible cognitive benefits in elderly populations.

Umami taste satisfaction: MSG provides the umami taste, which can increase meal satisfaction.

Possible aid in digestion: Some believe MSG can stimulate digestive juices, potentially aiding digestion.It’s important to note that while these potential benefits have been reported, more research is needed to fully understand MSG’s effects on health. Additionally, some individuals may be sensitive to MSG and experience adverse reactions.

Who should avoid Monosodium Glutamate

People with MSG sensitivity or intolerance

Individuals who experience “Chinese Restaurant Syndrome” symptoms after consuming MSG

Those with severe asthma, as MSG may worsen symptoms in some cases

People with migraine headaches that are triggered by MSG consumption

Individuals with epilepsy, as some studies suggest MSG might increase seizure frequency in some cases

Those with liver or kidney problems, as these organs are responsible for processing and eliminating MSG

Pregnant women, as a precautionary measure due to limited research on MSG’s effects during pregnancy

Young children, as their bodies are still developing and may be more sensitive to food additives

People following a low-sodium diet, as MSG contains sodium

Individuals with certain neurological conditions, who may be more sensitive to glutamate

Those with a history of adverse reactions to other food additivesIt’s important to note that while many people believe they should avoid MSG, scientific evidence for its harmful effects is limited and often inconclusive. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice regarding dietary restrictions.

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

What is monosodium glutamate made of?
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is made from glutamic acid, an amino acid that occurs naturally in many foods. The production process involves fermenting starch, sugar beets, sugar cane, or molasses. The fermentation creates glutamic acid, which is then neutralized with sodium hydroxide to form MSG. The resulting product is a white, crystalline powder that is used as a flavor enhancer in many foods.
What is the difference between glutamate and monosodium glutamate?
Glutamate is a naturally occurring amino acid found in many foods and produced by the human body. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, created by isolating glutamate and binding it with sodium. MSG is used as a flavor enhancer in various processed foods. While glutamate is a necessary component for our bodies, MSG is an artificial additive that some people believe may cause adverse reactions, though scientific evidence for this is limited.
Is monosodium glutamate in all Chinese food?
No, monosodium glutamate (MSG) is not in all Chinese food. While MSG is commonly used in some Chinese cuisine, many Chinese dishes and restaurants do not use it. Some establishments specifically advertise as being "MSG-free" to cater to customers who prefer to avoid it. The use of MSG varies widely depending on the specific dish, restaurant, and regional cooking style.
Is Monosodium Phosphate gluten-free?
Monosodium phosphate is generally considered gluten-free. It is a salt compound used as a food additive and does not contain any gluten-containing ingredients. However, as with any food additive, there is always a small risk of cross-contamination during manufacturing. If you have celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity, it's best to check with the manufacturer to confirm their specific product is gluten-free.
