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 Synthroid safe for celiacs?
Synthroid, a brand name for levothyroxine, is generally considered safe for people with celiac disease. The medication itself does not contain gluten. However, it's important for celiacs to check with their doctor or pharmacist about the specific formulation they are prescribed, as some generic versions or fillers may contain gluten. If you have celiac disease and are prescribed Synthroid, be sure to inform your healthcare provider about your condition to ensure you receive a gluten-free version.
What thyroid medications are gluten-free?
Most thyroid medications are gluten-free, including common brands like Synthroid and Levoxyl. However, it's always important to check with the manufacturer or your pharmacist to confirm, as formulations can change. Some generic versions may contain gluten as a filler or binder. If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, be sure to discuss medication options with your doctor.
What are the ingredients of Synthroid?
Synthroid's main active ingredient is levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine. The inactive ingredients typically include acacia, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, povidone, and talc. Some formulations may also contain colorants such as FD&C colors or iron oxides, depending on the specific strength. The exact combination of inactive ingredients can vary slightly between different manufacturers and dosage strengths.
Why should thyroid patients avoid gluten?
Gluten can exacerbate autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto's thyroiditis. It may increase inflammation and trigger an immune response that can further damage the thyroid gland. Gluten sensitivity is also more common in people with thyroid disorders. Avoiding gluten can help reduce symptoms and potentially slow the progression of thyroid disease in some patients.
