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

Does textured soy flour have gluten?
Textured soy flour itself does not naturally contain gluten. It is made from soybeans, which are inherently gluten-free. However, cross-contamination during processing or the addition of other ingredients could potentially introduce gluten. It's important for those with gluten sensitivities to check product labels or contact manufacturers to confirm gluten-free status.
Can celiacs eat soy flour?
Yes, celiacs can generally eat soy flour. Soy flour is naturally gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease to consume. However, it's important to check labels to ensure the soy flour hasn't been cross-contaminated with gluten-containing grains during processing. As with any food, individuals with celiac disease should consult their doctor or dietitian if they have concerns about incorporating soy flour into their diet.
What are the disadvantages of TVP?
TVP (textured vegetable protein) can have a bland taste and unappealing texture if not prepared properly. It may cause digestive issues like gas or bloating in some people, especially when first introducing it to their diet. Some brands of TVP may contain additives or preservatives that some consumers prefer to avoid. Additionally, as a processed food, TVP lacks some of the nutrients found in whole soy products.
What is textured soy flour used for?
Textured soy flour is primarily used as a meat substitute or extender in various dishes. It's popular in vegetarian and vegan recipes to mimic the texture of ground meat. Textured soy flour can be rehydrated and added to stews, chili, tacos, and pasta sauces to boost protein content. It's also used in some commercial food products as a low-cost protein filler.
