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

How much gluten is in pearl barley?
Pearl barley contains gluten. Specifically, it contains about 5-8% gluten by weight. This makes pearl barley unsuitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. However, the exact amount of gluten can vary slightly depending on the specific variety and processing methods used.
What is a gluten-free alternative to pearl barley?
A popular gluten-free alternative to pearl barley is quinoa. Quinoa has a similar texture and can be used in many of the same dishes as pearl barley. Another option is buckwheat groats, which despite the name are not related to wheat and are gluten-free. Rice, particularly brown rice, can also work well as a substitute in many recipes calling for pearl barley.
What grains have no gluten?
Several grains are naturally gluten-free. These include rice, corn, quinoa, millet, and sorghum. Oats are also inherently gluten-free, but are often contaminated during processing, so it's important to look for certified gluten-free oats. Buckwheat, despite its name, is not related to wheat and is also gluten-free.
Is barley lower in gluten than wheat?
Yes, barley is generally lower in gluten than wheat. However, barley does still contain gluten, so it is not suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. The gluten content in barley is typically about 5-8%, compared to around 10-13% in wheat. Despite its lower gluten content, barley is not considered gluten-free.
