Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Fruit and vegetable blends, often marketed as "proprietary blends," are used as dietary supplements to support cardiovascular health, including the management of high triglycerides. There is some scientific basis for their use, but the evidence is limited and varies depending on the specific formulation and ingredients included in the blend. Epidemiological studies have shown that diets rich in fruits and vegetables are associated with lower triglyceride levels and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. This is thought to be due to the high content of dietary fiber, antioxidants, polyphenols, and other bioactive compounds found in fruits and vegetables, which may improve lipid metabolism and reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. However, direct evidence supporting the use of fruit and vegetable powder blends or proprietary mixtures specifically for lowering triglycerides is modest. Some small clinical trials have demonstrated modest reductions in triglycerides with supplementation, but results are inconsistent, and many studies are limited by small sample sizes, short durations, and lack of standardization in blend composition. Furthermore, the health benefits observed from whole fruit and vegetable consumption may not fully translate to powdered or extract forms. In summary, while there is some scientific rationale based on the known benefits of whole fruits and vegetables, the evidence for proprietary fruit and vegetable blends in the treatment or support of high triglycerides is limited and not robust. More high-quality, large-scale studies are needed to confirm their efficacy for this specific purpose.
