In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: the anti-gluten pills from Little Helpers 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 ) . Additionally, 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's toxicity ( 2 ) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.
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 approximately 13% of the world's population is sensitive to gluten in the diet (1).
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 a pH of 2 and is completely resistant to digestion with pepsin ( 2 ). Additionally, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that hardly any gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This implies that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity. This gives people the opportunity to (occasionally) give up their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
