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 orange chicken contain gluten?
Orange chicken typically contains gluten. The gluten is usually present in the breading or batter used to coat the chicken pieces. Additionally, many orange chicken sauces contain soy sauce, which often includes wheat as an ingredient. However, gluten-free versions of orange chicken can be made using alternative flours and gluten-free soy sauce.
Is an orange gluten-free?
Yes, an orange is gluten-free. Oranges are a naturally gluten-free fruit. They do not contain any wheat, barley, rye, or other gluten-containing grains. Oranges can be safely consumed by people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Is Mandarin chicken gluten-free?
Mandarin chicken can be gluten-free, but it depends on the specific recipe and ingredients used. Traditional Mandarin chicken often contains soy sauce, which typically contains wheat and is therefore not gluten-free. However, many restaurants and home cooks now offer gluten-free versions using tamari or other gluten-free soy sauce alternatives. To ensure a Mandarin chicken dish is truly gluten-free, it's best to check with the chef or carefully review the ingredients if cooking at home.
Is Mcdonald's chicken gluten-free?
McDonald's does not offer certified gluten-free chicken options. Their chicken products typically contain gluten due to breading or other ingredients. However, some locations may offer grilled chicken without breading, which could be gluten-free. It's always best to check with the specific restaurant and consult their allergen information for the most up-to-date details.
