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 shumai?
Shumai typically contains gluten. The wrapper for shumai is usually made with wheat flour, which contains gluten. Additionally, some of the fillings or seasonings used in shumai may contain gluten-based ingredients. However, gluten-free versions of shumai can be made using alternative flours for the wrapper and carefully selecting gluten-free fillings and seasonings.
What is shumai made of?
Shumai is a type of traditional Chinese dumpling. It typically consists of a thin wheat flour wrapper filled with ground pork, shrimp, or a combination of both. Other common ingredients in the filling include mushrooms, ginger, and scallions. The dumplings are usually steamed and served as dim sum.
Are dumplings usually gluten free?
Dumplings are not typically gluten-free. Traditional dumpling wrappers are usually made with wheat flour, which contains gluten. However, there are gluten-free alternatives available, such as wrappers made from rice flour or other gluten-free grains. For those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, it's important to check ingredients carefully or seek out specifically gluten-free dumpling options.
What dim sum dishes are gluten free?
Many dim sum dishes can be made gluten-free, but it's important to ask about specific ingredients and preparation methods. Rice noodle rolls (cheong fun), steamed vegetables, and meat dishes without soy sauce are often safe choices. Har gow (shrimp dumplings) and siu mai (pork and shrimp dumplings) can be gluten-free if made with rice flour wrappers instead of wheat. However, always confirm with the restaurant, as recipes and ingredients can vary.
