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

Which sweetener is gluten free?
Most sweeteners are naturally gluten-free. This includes common options like sugar, honey, maple syrup, and artificial sweeteners. However, it's always important to check labels for any additives or processing that might introduce gluten. Some specialty or flavored sweeteners may contain gluten-containing ingredients, so it's best to verify with the manufacturer if unsure.
Who should not take stevia?
Individuals with known allergies to plants in the Asteraceae family should avoid stevia. People with low blood pressure or blood sugar issues should consult a doctor before using stevia regularly. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should exercise caution and speak to their healthcare provider before consuming stevia. Those with hormone-sensitive conditions may want to avoid stevia, as it could potentially affect hormone levels.
What ingredients should be avoided in stevia?
When choosing stevia products, it's best to avoid those containing artificial additives or fillers. Some stevia blends may include dextrose or maltodextrin, which can increase blood sugar levels. Artificial sweeteners like aspartame or sucralose are sometimes mixed with stevia and should be avoided if you're seeking a natural option. Additionally, be cautious of stevia products that contain sugar alcohols, as these can cause digestive issues in some people.
Does Splenda have gluten?
Splenda, the brand name for the artificial sweetener sucralose, does not contain gluten. It is considered gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. However, some Splenda products may contain additional ingredients, so it's always best to check the label. Pure sucralose itself is gluten-free.
