Rating (out of 5): 2

Proprietary blends of herbs and botanicals are commonly marketed for supporting adrenal gland function, especially in the context of stress reduction and combating "adrenal fatigue." The use of such blends is primarily justified by traditional herbal medicine. Throughout history, various herbs—such as ashwagandha, rhodiola, licorice root, ginseng, and others—have been used in different cultures to promote vitality, reduce fatigue, and manage stress. Traditional systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) often reference these herbs for supporting energy and resilience, which are attributes sometimes linked to adrenal health in modern supplement marketing.

However, while individual herbs within these blends may have some scientific studies suggesting adaptogenic effects (e.g., ashwagandha and rhodiola have limited evidence for reducing markers of stress), the actual concept of "adrenal support" via proprietary herbal blends lacks robust clinical validation. The term "proprietary blend" itself is non-specific and may contain varying proportions of ingredients, making it difficult to evaluate efficacy or safety. There is no strong scientific consensus that such blends directly support adrenal gland health or treat adrenal-related disorders. Most evidence remains anecdotal or rooted in traditional use, not in high-quality, peer-reviewed clinical trials. Thus, the evidence level for proprietary blends supporting the adrenal glands is modest and primarily traditional in nature.
