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 there any gluten in salad?
The presence of gluten in a salad depends on its ingredients. Most basic salads consisting of vegetables, fruits, and leafy greens are naturally gluten-free. However, some salad dressings, croutons, or other toppings may contain gluten. It's important to check all ingredients if you have gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
Can I eat salad on a gluten-free diet?
Yes, you can definitely eat salad on a gluten-free diet. Most salad ingredients like fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds are naturally gluten-free. However, you should be cautious about dressings and toppings, as some may contain gluten. Always check labels or make your own dressing to ensure your salad stays gluten-free.
Is there any gluten in Lettuce?
No, there is no gluten in lettuce. Lettuce is a naturally gluten-free vegetable. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, but not in leafy greens like lettuce. Lettuce can be safely consumed by people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Why is Caesar salad not gluten-free?
Caesar salad itself is typically gluten-free, as its main ingredients (romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing) do not contain gluten. However, the croutons that are traditionally added to Caesar salad are made from bread, which usually contains wheat and therefore gluten. Some restaurants may also use Worcestershire sauce in their Caesar dressing, which can contain gluten. To make a Caesar salad gluten-free, simply omit the croutons and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free.
