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 spelt flour ok for gluten intolerance?
Spelt flour is not generally considered safe for those with gluten intolerance. While spelt is an ancient grain and some people find it easier to digest than modern wheat, it still contains gluten. For individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, spelt flour should be avoided. Those with gluten intolerance should opt for truly gluten-free flours like rice, almond, or coconut flour instead.
What are the disadvantages of spelt flour?
Spelt flour can be more expensive than regular wheat flour. It has a lower gluten content, which can result in denser baked goods that don't rise as well. Some people may find the slightly nutty flavor of spelt flour overpowering in certain recipes. Additionally, spelt is not suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, as it still contains gluten.
Why can I tolerate spelt but not wheat?
Spelt and wheat are different species of grain, despite being closely related. Spelt contains less gluten and a different type of gluten than wheat, which may be easier for some people to digest. Additionally, spelt has not been as heavily modified through breeding as modern wheat, potentially retaining more of its original nutritional profile. These differences can result in some individuals tolerating spelt better than wheat, especially those with mild wheat sensitivities or intolerances.
Is spelt flour anti-inflammatory?
Spelt flour is not generally considered to be strongly anti-inflammatory. While spelt does contain some nutrients that may have mild anti-inflammatory properties, its effects are not significant enough to classify it as an anti-inflammatory food. Regular consumption of spelt as part of a balanced diet may contribute to overall health, but it should not be relied upon specifically for anti-inflammatory benefits. For more potent anti-inflammatory effects, foods like fatty fish, berries, and leafy greens are typically recommended.
