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 ).

The term "glutinous" refers to the sticky texture of the rice when cooked, not to the presence of gluten. Sweet rice is safe for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity to consume.
What type of rice is not gluten-free?
All natural forms of rice are inherently gluten-free. However, some flavored or seasoned rice mixes may contain gluten ingredients. Additionally, rice that has been cross-contaminated during processing or packaging could potentially contain traces of gluten. It's important for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity to check labels carefully and choose certified gluten-free rice products when necessary.
Is mochi rice gluten free?
Mochi rice itself is naturally gluten-free. It is made from a specific type of short-grain Japanese rice called mochigome. However, some mochi products may contain added ingredients that include gluten. It's important to check the label or ingredients list to ensure the specific mochi product you're consuming is truly gluten-free.
Who should not eat glutinous rice?
Individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid glutinous rice, despite its misleading name, as it is actually gluten-free. People with diabetes may need to limit their intake of glutinous rice due to its high glycemic index. Those on a low-carb diet might want to avoid or restrict glutinous rice consumption. Anyone with a specific allergy or intolerance to rice should not eat glutinous rice.
