Brief history of wheat bran
Wheat bran is the outer layer of the wheat kernel that has been used for centuries as a natural source of dietary fibre. Historically, it was included in breads and porridges to aid digestion and promote satiety. In the 19th century, bran gained recognition in Western medicine and nutrition for its role in relieving constipation and supporting digestive health. Today, wheat bran products like Health Connection Digestive Bran continue this tradition as a convenient, fibre-rich addition to modern diets.
