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

Does wheat protein contain gluten?
Yes, wheat protein contains gluten. Gluten is a protein naturally found in wheat, as well as other grains like barley and rye. In fact, gluten is the primary protein component in wheat. People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity need to avoid wheat protein and other gluten-containing foods.
Can celiacs use shampoo with wheat protein?
Celiacs generally do not need to worry about wheat protein in shampoo. Gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin, so topical products are usually safe. However, some celiacs may experience skin reactions or prefer to avoid wheat ingredients entirely out of caution. It's always best to consult with a doctor about individual sensitivities and concerns.
Are wheat protein and wheat gluten the same thing?
Wheat protein and wheat gluten are closely related but not exactly the same thing. Wheat gluten is a specific type of protein found in wheat, while wheat protein refers to all the proteins present in wheat. Gluten is the primary protein component in wheat, making up about 75-85% of the total protein content. Therefore, while all wheat gluten is wheat protein, not all wheat protein is gluten.
What is wheat protein made of?
Wheat protein, also known as wheat gluten or vital wheat gluten, is primarily composed of two proteins: gliadin and glutenin. These proteins are found in the endosperm of wheat kernels and make up about 80-85% of the total protein content in wheat. When mixed with water, gliadin and glutenin form a sticky, elastic network that gives wheat dough its characteristic texture and structure. Wheat protein is often extracted and used as a meat substitute or protein supplement in various food products.
