Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigational product used in this study is a soft drink containing an arabinoxylan-oligosaccharide (AXOS) preparation extracted from wheat bran (hereafter called Wheat Bran Extract, WBE).

The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of the intake of WBE on various parameters of gastrointestinal health in children (8-12 yrs). Additionally, safety was analyzed using treatment emergent Adverse Events (AEs).
