    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

    Is wholegrain oat flour gluten-free?
    Wholegrain oat flour is not inherently gluten-free. While oats themselves do not contain gluten, they are often processed in facilities that also handle wheat, barley, or rye, leading to cross-contamination. However, some manufacturers produce certified gluten-free oat flour by ensuring strict separation throughout the growing and processing stages. If you require gluten-free oat flour, look for products specifically labeled as "gluten-free" to ensure they meet the necessary standards.
    Why is oat flour not gluten-free?
    Oat flour itself is naturally gluten-free. However, oats are often processed in facilities that also handle wheat, barley, and rye, which contain gluten. This can lead to cross-contamination, making the oat flour no longer gluten-free. For those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it's important to choose certified gluten-free oat flour to ensure it's safe for consumption.
    Why are whole grain oats not gluten-free?
    Whole grain oats are naturally gluten-free. However, they are often contaminated with gluten during farming, transportation, or processing. This contamination typically occurs when oats are grown near wheat fields or processed in facilities that also handle wheat products. For this reason, only oats that are specifically labeled as gluten-free can be considered safe for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
    Which oat flour is gluten-free?
    All pure oat flour is naturally gluten-free. However, oats are often cross-contaminated with gluten-containing grains during growing or processing. To ensure gluten-free status, look for oat flour specifically labeled as "gluten-free" or "certified gluten-free." These products are processed in dedicated gluten-free facilities and tested to meet gluten-free standards.
