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

Can you eat seitan if you are gluten intolerant?
No, you cannot eat seitan if you are gluten intolerant. Seitan is made primarily from wheat gluten, which is the protein found in wheat. For those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, consuming seitan can trigger adverse reactions. It's essential for individuals with gluten sensitivities to avoid seitan and other wheat-based products.
Is seitan 100% gluten?
Seitan is not 100% gluten, but it is primarily made from gluten. The main ingredient in seitan is vital wheat gluten, which is the protein extracted from wheat flour. While seitan is very high in gluten content, it may contain small amounts of other ingredients for flavoring or texture. Typically, seitan is about 75-80% gluten by weight.
What are the disadvantages of seitan?
Seitan is not suitable for people with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease due to its high gluten content. It lacks some essential amino acids, making it an incomplete protein source compared to animal proteins. Seitan can be high in sodium, especially when purchased pre-made or in processed foods. Its texture and flavor may not appeal to everyone, potentially limiting its versatility in cooking.
What protein is seitan missing?
Seitan, which is made from wheat gluten, is deficient in lysine, an essential amino acid. This makes seitan an incomplete protein on its own. To compensate for this, seitan is often combined with other plant-based proteins like beans or legumes. Alternatively, some manufacturers add lysine to their seitan products to create a complete protein profile.
