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 ok for gluten sensitivity?
Spelt is an ancient grain related to wheat. While it does contain gluten, some people with mild gluten sensitivity report being able to tolerate spelt better than modern wheat. However, spelt is not safe for people with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance. It's best to consult with a doctor or nutritionist before introducing spelt if you have any form of gluten sensitivity.
Is spelt an inflammatory food?
Spelt is generally not considered an inflammatory food for most people. In fact, it is often regarded as a healthier alternative to modern wheat due to its nutritional profile. However, as a type of wheat, spelt does contain gluten, which can cause inflammation in individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. For those without gluten-related issues, spelt is typically well-tolerated and may even have anti-inflammatory properties due to its fiber and antioxidant content.
Is spelt easier to digest than wheat?
Spelt is often considered easier to digest than wheat for some people. This is partly due to its lower gluten content compared to modern wheat varieties. Additionally, spelt contains more protein and fiber, which can aid in digestion. However, individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should still avoid spelt, as it does contain gluten.
