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 Planet Oat milk safe for celiac?
Yes, Planet Oat milk is generally considered safe for people with celiac disease. It is naturally gluten-free as it's made from oats, which do not contain gluten. However, it's important to check the label to ensure it's certified gluten-free, as cross-contamination can occur during processing. If you're highly sensitive, you may want to contact the company directly to inquire about their manufacturing practices.
Which oat milks are gluten-free?
Most commercial oat milks are gluten-free. However, it's important to check the label, as some brands may process their oats in facilities that also handle gluten-containing grains. Look for oat milks that are specifically labeled as gluten-free. Some popular gluten-free oat milk brands include Oatly, Planet Oat, and Califia Farms.
How does oat milk not have gluten?
Oat milk does not inherently contain gluten, despite oats being a grain. The gluten-free status of oat milk depends on how the oats are processed and whether they've been cross-contaminated with gluten-containing grains. Many oat milk manufacturers use certified gluten-free oats and ensure their production facilities are free from gluten contamination. However, individuals with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity should always check labels and choose oat milk brands that are specifically labeled as gluten-free.
What milks are gluten-free?
All natural, unflavored milk from animals like cows, goats, and sheep is naturally gluten-free. Plant-based milks such as almond milk, coconut milk, and rice milk are typically gluten-free as well. However, some flavored or fortified milk products may contain gluten additives, so it's important to check labels. Oat milk can be gluten-free, but only if made from certified gluten-free oats and processed in a gluten-free facility.
