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 celiacs eat soy protein?
Yes, celiacs can generally eat soy protein safely. Soy is naturally gluten-free and is not one of the grains that contain gluten. However, it's important for celiacs to check labels carefully, as some soy products may be processed in facilities that also handle wheat or other gluten-containing ingredients. As long as the soy protein is certified gluten-free or processed in a dedicated gluten-free facility, it should be safe for celiacs to consume.
Does soy protein powder have gluten?
Soy protein powder is naturally gluten-free. However, cross-contamination during processing can sometimes occur. It's important to check the product label for any gluten-containing ingredients or cross-contamination warnings. To be certain, look for soy protein powders that are specifically labeled as gluten-free.
Why is soy sauce not gluten-free?
Soy sauce traditionally contains wheat as one of its main ingredients. The wheat provides proteins and starches that contribute to the fermentation process and final flavor. While there are gluten-free soy sauce alternatives made with rice instead of wheat, most standard soy sauces are not gluten-free. People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should be cautious and check labels carefully when consuming soy sauce.
Can celiacs have hydrolyzed soy protein?
Hydrolyzed soy protein is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease. The hydrolysis process breaks down the protein into smaller components, which typically eliminates the gluten content. However, it's important for celiacs to check product labels carefully, as some hydrolyzed soy proteins may be derived from wheat or processed in facilities that handle gluten-containing ingredients. If in doubt, individuals with celiac disease should consult their doctor or a registered dietitian for personalized advice.
