We are designing a clinical trial with fibre supplementation for humans. Is there anyone with expertise in that area to be involved as a collaborator? Someone with a nutrition background and specific knowledge of fibre supplementation is ideal for contributing. I can share more information with the right person.
Thanks.
YES I AGREE WITH THIS TRIAL BECAUSE RUTINE LIFE STYLE FIBER CONSUMPTION TOO LOW SO ONCE A DAY SUPPLEMENTATION FIBER WILL USE AND TRY TO GUT HEALTHY
in children there are studies. Take a look at Stagi et al . studies.

Fibre supplementation in clinical trials?
Fibre supplementation has been studied extensively in clinical trials, particularly for its potential health benefits in improving digestive health, reducing cholesterol levels, and managing blood sugar levels. Clinical trials involving fibre supplementation typically involve giving participants either a fibre supplement or a placebo and measuring various outcomes over a specified period.
Some examples of clinical trials involving fibre supplementation include:
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 2012 found that adding soluble fibre to a diet could help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels in people with high cholesterol.
Another study published in the journal Nutrients in 2018 found that supplementing with resistant starch, a type of fibre, could improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
A 2019 study published in the journal Clinical Nutrition found that supplementing with psyllium husk, a type of soluble fibre, could improve symptoms of constipation in older adults.
Overall, the results of clinical trials suggest that fibre supplementation can have a range of health benefits, although the specific outcomes may depend on the type and amount of fibre consumed, as well as the individual's health status and other factors.
Great, this will be nice and more helpful for those relying much on processed foods.
Hi Thilini,
Please contact Vincent Ho (Gastroenterologist), Associate Professor at the School of Medicine, Western Sydney University. You can also contact Jerry Zhou (Clinical Scientist), Lecturer at the School of Medicine, Western Sydney University (He is currently on holiday, and will return after ANZAC day 2023).
Our group (the GI Motility Disorders Unit), including myself (recent PhD graduate) has some recent experience and ongoing research involving dietary fibre supplementation in human clinical studies. Check out our recently published papers (available on ResearchGate) for more information.
