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

Why is wasabi not gluten-free?
Wasabi itself is naturally gluten-free, as it is derived from a plant root. However, many commercial wasabi products are not gluten-free due to added ingredients or processing methods. Some manufacturers may include wheat-based fillers or thickeners in their wasabi paste or powder products. It's important for those with gluten sensitivities to carefully check labels or opt for pure, freshly grated wasabi root to ensure they are consuming a gluten-free product.
How much gluten is in wasabi?
Wasabi itself does not contain any gluten. It is made from the root of the wasabi plant, which is naturally gluten-free. However, some commercially prepared wasabi products may contain added ingredients that include gluten. It's important to check the label or contact the manufacturer if you have gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
Can celiacs eat sushi?
Celiacs can eat some types of sushi, but they need to be cautious. Traditional sushi rice is generally gluten-free, as are most fish and vegetables used in sushi. However, certain sauces, like soy sauce, usually contain gluten and should be avoided. It's important for celiacs to communicate their dietary needs to the sushi chef and ensure all ingredients and preparation methods are gluten-free.
Does wasabi have flour?
Wasabi typically does not contain flour. True wasabi is made from the grated rhizome of the wasabi plant. However, many imitation wasabi products do contain flour or other fillers. It's important to check ingredients lists, as some pre-made wasabi pastes may include flour or starch as a thickener.
