Rating (out of 5): 2

Fruit and vegetable blends have been traditionally used in various cultures to support digestive health, including the relief of indigestion. The underlying belief is that fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber, enzymes, and phytonutrients, all of which can help stimulate digestion, promote gut motility, and ease symptoms like bloating or discomfort. For example, traditional practices such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine have recommended certain fruit and vegetable combinations (like papaya, pineapple, or ginger) for centuries to aid digestion and reduce indigestion symptoms. However, while individual fruits and vegetables may have some evidence supporting their digestive benefits, blends—especially those labeled as “proprietary”—often contain a combination of ingredients whose specific effects, proportions, and interactions are not well studied.

From a scientific standpoint, the evidence supporting fruit and vegetable blends specifically for indigestion is limited. Most available research focuses on single ingredients or general fruit and vegetable intake, which has been associated with better gut health and reduced risk of digestive disorders. There are few, if any, rigorous clinical trials examining proprietary blends for indigestion. Thus, while the traditional use is clear and there is some plausible rationale based on the known effects of fiber and certain phytonutrients, scientific validation for proprietary blends as a treatment for indigestion remains weak.
