Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Rice bran, the outer layer of the rice grain, has been traditionally consumed in some cultures and is now also of scientific interest for its potential health benefits, including effects on the digestive system. Some animal and limited human studies suggest that rice bran may support gut health by acting as a source of dietary fiber and bioactive compounds. The fiber in rice bran can enhance stool bulk and promote regular bowel movements, which is beneficial for general digestive health. In addition, rice bran contains prebiotic components that may favorably influence gut microbiota composition, as evidenced by a few small-scale clinical studies and in vitro research. Research also indicates that rice bran oil and its components may reduce gastric inflammation in animal models. However, robust clinical evidence specifically linking rice bran consumption to improved "stomach" health (such as protection against ulcers, gastritis, or direct effects on the gastric mucosa in humans) is limited. Most of the evidence is indirect, relating to general digestive function rather than specific stomach disorders. Therefore, while there is a scientific basis for rice bran supporting aspects of digestive health, strong, targeted clinical validation for its use in supporting the stomach specifically is currently insufficient.
