Scientists trace special fiber through the body to unlock gut health clues

NCT ID NCT03717311

Summary

This small pilot study aimed to better understand how the body digests and uses fiber from wheat bran. Six healthy women ate biscuits containing a special, traceable form of wheat bran. Researchers then collected breath, blood, urine, and stool samples over 24 hours to track how the fiber was broken down, hoping to find new markers that could help assess the health benefits of eating fiber.
