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

Can celiacs eat tofu?
Yes, celiacs can generally eat tofu. Tofu is made from soybeans, which are naturally gluten-free. However, it's important to check labels carefully, as some brands may add gluten-containing ingredients or process tofu in facilities that also handle gluten products. As long as the tofu is plain and not flavored with any gluten-containing additives, it should be safe for those with celiac disease to consume.
Why is soy not gluten-free?
Soy is naturally gluten-free. The confusion arises because soy is often processed in facilities that also handle wheat and other gluten-containing grains, leading to potential cross-contamination. Additionally, some soy-based products may contain added gluten or wheat-derived ingredients. To ensure a soy product is truly gluten-free, it's important to check labels and look for certified gluten-free options.
Can celiacs eat soya?
Yes, celiacs can generally eat soya. Soya is naturally gluten-free and considered safe for people with celiac disease. However, it's important to check labels carefully, as some soy products may contain gluten or be processed in facilities that also handle wheat. As with any food, if a celiac individual experiences adverse reactions to soya, they should consult their doctor.
Is Extra Firm tofu gluten-free?
Extra firm tofu is generally gluten-free. Tofu is made from soybeans, water, and a coagulant, which do not contain gluten. However, it's always important to check the label for any added ingredients or potential cross-contamination. If you have celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity, look for tofu brands that are specifically labeled as gluten-free for added assurance.
