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 1

Is porridge OK for gluten-free?
Porridge can be gluten-free, but it depends on the type of grain used. Traditional porridge made from oats is naturally gluten-free, but oats are often processed in facilities that also handle wheat, which can lead to cross-contamination. For those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it's important to choose certified gluten-free oats or porridge made from other gluten-free grains like rice, quinoa, or buckwheat. Always check the label to ensure the product is specifically labeled as gluten-free.
Is Quaker porridge gluten-free?
Quaker offers both gluten-free and gluten-containing porridge options. Their traditional oats are not guaranteed gluten-free due to potential cross-contamination during processing. However, Quaker does produce a specific line of gluten-free oats that are processed in dedicated facilities to avoid contamination. It's important to check the packaging carefully to ensure you're selecting their certified gluten-free products if you require a gluten-free diet.
What is a gluten-free alternative to porridge?
A popular gluten-free alternative to traditional porridge is oatmeal made from certified gluten-free oats. Another option is quinoa porridge, which provides a protein-rich and nutty-flavored breakfast. For those avoiding grains entirely, chia seed pudding can make a creamy, nutritious porridge-like meal. Lastly, buckwheat porridge is a hearty and flavorful choice that's naturally gluten-free.
Why are some oats not gluten-free?
While oats themselves do not naturally contain gluten, they are often contaminated with gluten during processing. This contamination typically occurs when oats are grown near or processed in facilities that also handle wheat, barley, or rye. Cross-contamination can happen through shared fields, harvesting equipment, storage facilities, or processing machinery. For this reason, only oats that are specifically labeled as "gluten-free" and processed in dedicated gluten-free facilities can be considered safe for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
