Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
A "fruit blend (proprietary)" is a broad term and usually refers to a mixture of fruit extracts or powders, often including ingredients such as berries, citrus fruits, apples, grapes, or other fruits. These blends are sometimes marketed to support various body systems, including the lymphatic system, primarily based on the antioxidant and polyphenol content of fruits. Historically, fruits have been valued in traditional herbalism and folk medicine for their general health-promoting properties, including improving "circulation" or "cleansing" the body. However, there is no specific traditional or scientific consensus that fruit blends directly support lymphatic function.
While fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support overall health, direct scientific evidence that consuming a generic "fruit blend" has a measurable or targeted effect on the lymphatic system is lacking. Most claims are extrapolated from general health benefits rather than direct lymphatic support. Traditional uses might mention fruits for detoxification or cleansing, but these are not specifically linked to the lymphatic system in historic texts. Thus, use of fruit blends for lymphatic support is justified mainly by tradition and general health assumptions rather than robust scientific validation.
