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 sushi is usually gluten-free?
Most traditional sushi is naturally gluten-free. This includes nigiri (raw fish on rice) and sashimi (just raw fish). Maki rolls made with rice, nori seaweed, and fillings like fish and vegetables are also typically gluten-free. However, some sushi ingredients like imitation crab, soy sauce, and certain sauces may contain gluten, so it's important to check with the restaurant or chef if you have gluten sensitivities.
Why is sushi rice not gluten-free?
Sushi rice itself is naturally gluten-free, as it is made from short-grain white rice. However, the vinegar mixture used to season sushi rice may contain gluten. Some brands of rice vinegar or seasoned rice vinegar used in sushi rice preparation may include wheat-derived ingredients or additives. To ensure gluten-free sushi rice, it's important to use certified gluten-free vinegar and seasonings.
Does Publix Subs have a gluten-free option?
Publix Subs does offer gluten-free options for customers with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. They provide gluten-free bread as an alternative to their regular sub rolls. Customers can also choose from a variety of gluten-free toppings and fillings to create their desired sandwich. However, it's important to note that while they take precautions, there is always a risk of cross-contamination in a shared kitchen environment.
How do I make sure my sushi is gluten-free?
To ensure your sushi is gluten-free, start by using gluten-free soy sauce or tamari instead of regular soy sauce. Avoid sushi rolls containing tempura, imitation crab (surimi), or other breaded ingredients. Stick to simple rolls with fish, vegetables, and rice, but confirm that no hidden gluten-containing ingredients are used in the rice vinegar or seasonings. When dining out, always inform the chef of your gluten intolerance and ask about their preparation methods to avoid cross-contamination.
