RDA Cereal Fiber Clinical
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The importance of the gut microbiota for general health has been recently elucidated, but little is known about the impact of different types of nutrients on the gut microbiota. The soluble fiber in cereal by-products, arabinoxylan (AX), is known to be beneficial for generally promoting gut health. However, it is unclear whether consuming rice bran (RB), the source of AX, is equally helpful or better than consuming the extracted form of AX. This study aims to reveal the potential benefit of insoluble cereal bran fiber ingredients by comparing the effect of soluble arabinoxylan fiber alone and the mostly insoluble rice bran fiber, containing arabinoxylan, on intestinal health and gut microbiota. A placebo (maltodextrin) will be used as a control, with no significant changes expected in this group for the evaluated outcomes. Participants will: * Consume two different fiber supplements (soluble arabinoxylan or stabilized rice bran) as well as a placebo (maltodextrin) for 3 weeks each, separated by a 2-week washout period. * Provide blood and stool samples at six different time points. * Complete a food and gastrointestinal symptom diary during the intervention periods.
