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 Trader Joe's tempeh gluten free?
Trader Joe's tempeh is generally gluten-free. The main ingredients in tempeh are typically fermented soybeans, which do not contain gluten. However, it's always important to check the specific product label for the most accurate information. Some flavored or specialty tempeh products may contain added ingredients that could include gluten.
Is tempeh inflammatory?
Tempeh is generally considered anti-inflammatory rather than inflammatory. Its fermentation process creates beneficial compounds that may help reduce inflammation in the body. Tempeh is rich in probiotics and antioxidants, which can contribute to overall health and potentially lower inflammation levels. However, individual responses may vary, and those with soy allergies should avoid tempeh.
Why is tofu not gluten-free?
Tofu is actually gluten-free. It is made from soybeans, which do not contain gluten. The confusion may arise because some processed tofu products can contain added ingredients that have gluten. However, plain, traditional tofu is naturally gluten-free.
Is there a seitan that is gluten-free?
Seitan is traditionally made from wheat gluten, so it is not gluten-free by nature. However, some companies have developed gluten-free seitan alternatives using other plant-based proteins. These products often use ingredients like pea protein, soy protein, or various legumes to mimic the texture of traditional seitan. While these alternatives may be suitable for those avoiding gluten, they are not technically "seitan" in the traditional sense.
