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 gluten in shrimp?
Shrimp itself does not naturally contain gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. However, some packaged or prepared shrimp products may contain gluten due to added ingredients or processing methods. It's important to check labels carefully if you have gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
Can I eat shrimp if I have celiac disease?
Yes, people with celiac disease can generally eat shrimp. Shrimp is naturally gluten-free, as it is a protein source from the sea. However, it's important to be cautious about how the shrimp is prepared, as some seasonings or breadings may contain gluten. Always check labels and ask about preparation methods when eating shrimp at restaurants to ensure it remains gluten-free.
Can celiacs eat shellfish?
Celiacs can generally eat shellfish safely. Shellfish are naturally gluten-free and do not contain the proteins that trigger celiac disease reactions. However, celiacs should be cautious of potential cross-contamination during preparation or cooking. It's also important to avoid shellfish dishes that may contain gluten-containing ingredients like breading or certain sauces.
What foods are high in gluten?
Gluten is primarily found in wheat and wheat-based products. Other grains that contain gluten include barley, rye, and triticale. Common foods high in gluten are bread, pasta, cereals, baked goods, and many processed foods that use wheat flour as an ingredient. Beer and some other alcoholic beverages made from gluten-containing grains also typically contain gluten.
