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 ).

Gluten Free Alternatives
Here are five gluten-free alternatives to Soba noodles, along with short descriptions:
Rice noodles: Made from rice flour and water, these thin, translucent noodles are popular in Asian cuisine. They have a mild flavor and can be used in soups, stir-fries, and cold salads.
Quinoa pasta: Made from quinoa flour, this pasta is high in protein and has a slightly nutty flavor. It holds its shape well when cooked and can be used as a direct substitute for wheat-based pasta in most recipes.
Buckwheat noodles (100% buckwheat): While traditional soba contains wheat, pure buckwheat noodles are gluten-free. They have a strong, earthy flavor and are rich in nutrients. Be sure to check labels to ensure they're 100% buckwheat.
Shirataki noodles: Made from the konjac yam, these translucent, gelatinous noodles are very low in calories and carbohydrates. They have a slightly chewy texture and absorb flavors well, making them ideal for stir-fries and soups.
Sweet potato glass noodles: Also known as Korean vermicelli, these noodles are made from sweet potato starch. They have a chewy texture and are often used in Korean dishes like Japchae, but can be substituted in many soba recipes.

Frequently
Asked Questions 1

Is udon or soba gluten-free?
Neither udon nor soba is inherently gluten-free. Udon noodles are made from wheat flour, which contains gluten. Traditional soba noodles are made from buckwheat flour, which is naturally gluten-free, but most commercial soba noodles also contain wheat flour. For those with gluten sensitivities, it's important to look for specially labeled gluten-free soba noodles made only from buckwheat flour.
Are Korean buckwheat noodles gluten-free?
Korean buckwheat noodles, also known as naengmyeon or memil guksu, are typically made from a combination of buckwheat flour and wheat flour. While buckwheat itself is naturally gluten-free, the addition of wheat flour means that most traditional Korean buckwheat noodles are not gluten-free. However, some manufacturers now produce gluten-free versions of these noodles using only buckwheat flour or alternative gluten-free ingredients. It's important to carefully check the ingredient list or look for specific gluten-free labeling if you need to avoid gluten.
Are soba noodles inflammatory?
Soba noodles are generally not considered inflammatory. In fact, they may have anti-inflammatory properties due to their high content of rutin, a flavonoid antioxidant. Soba noodles are made from buckwheat, which is gluten-free and rich in nutrients like fiber and protein. However, some people may have individual sensitivities or allergies to buckwheat, so it's always best to listen to your body's response.
Do yakisoba noodles have gluten?
Yakisoba noodles typically contain gluten. They are traditionally made with wheat flour, which is a gluten-containing ingredient. However, there are some gluten-free versions of yakisoba noodles available, made with alternative flours like rice or buckwheat. If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it's important to check the ingredients carefully or opt for a specifically labeled gluten-free alternative.
