Rating (out of 5): 3

Sugarcane fiber, also known as bagasse, is a byproduct of sugarcane processing and is rich in insoluble dietary fiber. There is scientific evidence that insoluble fibers, including those derived from sugarcane, can support large intestine (colon) health by promoting bowel regularity and increasing stool bulk. Several studies have shown that sugarcane fiber is well tolerated in humans and can help alleviate mild constipation by shortening transit time through the colon and increasing fecal output. For example, a few small clinical trials and animal studies have demonstrated that sugarcane bagasse supplementation can improve bowel function and stool consistency. The fiber is not significantly fermentable, so it does not contribute to gas or bloating as some soluble fibers do. However, while the general benefits of dietary fiber for colon health are well established, the specific evidence for sugarcane fiber is limited compared to more commonly studied fibers like wheat bran or psyllium. Thus, while the use of sugarcane fiber for colon support is scientifically plausible and partially validated, the depth and breadth of research are still moderate, justifying a mid-range evidence score.
