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 spirulina safe for celiacs?
Spirulina is generally considered safe for people with celiac disease. It is naturally gluten-free as it is a type of blue-green algae, not a grain. However, as with any supplement, there is a small risk of cross-contamination during processing. It's always best to choose a reputable brand that tests for gluten and clearly labels their products as gluten-free.
Who should avoid spirulina?
Pregnant women and nursing mothers should avoid spirulina due to potential risks to the fetus or infant. Individuals with autoimmune disorders like lupus or multiple sclerosis should also steer clear, as spirulina may stimulate the immune system. Those with phenylketonuria (PKU) should avoid spirulina because it contains phenylalanine. People taking blood-thinning medications should consult their doctor before using spirulina, as it may interfere with these drugs.
What are the main ingredients in spirulina?
Spirulina is primarily composed of protein, making up about 60-70% of its dry weight. It also contains significant amounts of essential fatty acids, particularly gamma-linolenic acid. Spirulina is rich in various vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12, iron, and beta-carotene. Additionally, it contains phycocyanin, a powerful antioxidant pigment that gives spirulina its characteristic blue-green color.
Is spirulina good for leaky gut?
Spirulina may be beneficial for leaky gut syndrome due to its anti-inflammatory properties and high nutrient content. It contains compounds that can help strengthen the intestinal barrier and support gut health. However, research on spirulina's specific effects on leaky gut is limited, and more studies are needed to confirm its efficacy. As with any supplement, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional before adding spirulina to your diet for leaky gut treatment.
