Rating (out of 5): 2

Fruit and vegetable blends are sometimes promoted for supporting healthy cholesterol levels, and there is a modest but growing body of scientific evidence to suggest that increased intake of fruits and vegetables can have a beneficial effect on cholesterol. Several epidemiological studies have shown that diets rich in fruits and vegetables are associated with lower total and LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels. This is likely due to the high fiber content, presence of plant sterols, and various phytonutrients which may help modulate lipid metabolism and reduce oxidative stress.

Some clinical trials have evaluated proprietary blends of fruit and vegetable extracts (often in capsule or powder form) for cholesterol management. These studies are generally small and sometimes industry-sponsored, but some report mild reductions in total and LDL cholesterol compared to placebo, especially when the blends are used alongside a healthy diet. However, the effect size is usually modest, and not all blends are alike—composition, dosage, and quality vary widely. There is insufficient data to recommend any specific proprietary blend over simply increasing whole fruit and vegetable consumption.

In summary, while eating more fruits and vegetables is strongly supported by scientific evidence for cardiovascular health, the specific benefits of proprietary fruit and vegetable blends for high cholesterol are less well-established. The overall evidence is low to moderate (rated 2/5); more high-quality, independent research is needed to confirm their efficacy.
