Rating (out of 5): 4

A proprietary fiber blend is commonly used to support or treat hemorrhoids, and this application is primarily justified by scientific evidence. Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the lower rectum or anus, often associated with straining during bowel movements, constipation, or prolonged sitting. Increasing dietary fiber intake—whether through a proprietary blend or individual sources—has been shown to improve stool consistency, increase stool bulk, and decrease straining during defecation. Multiple randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses have demonstrated that fiber supplementation reduces the frequency of bleeding and the severity of symptoms in individuals with hemorrhoids. For example, a 2006 Cochrane review found that fiber supplementation led to a significant reduction in the risk of persisting symptoms and bleeding in hemorrhoidal disease.

Fiber works by softening stool and increasing its bulk, which facilitates easier passage and reduces the need for excessive straining—a major risk factor for hemorrhoid formation and aggravation. While a "proprietary blend" may vary in its specific fiber sources (such as psyllium, inulin, or methylcellulose), the core principle remains consistent: adequate fiber intake supports digestive health and alleviates some of the main causes of hemorrhoidal symptoms. Thus, the use of fiber blends for hemorrhoids is well-supported by scientific literature.
