Synopsis

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

Proprietary blends of herbs and botanicals have been used in traditional medicine systems across many cultures to support the health of the uterus and the female reproductive system. Common botanicals included in these blends are raspberry leaf, dong quai, black cohosh, and chasteberry, among others. Traditional uses often focus on supporting menstrual health, toning uterine muscles, and aiding in post-partum recovery. For example, raspberry leaf tea has been consumed as a uterine tonic, while dong quai is a staple in Traditional Chinese Medicine for female reproductive health.

However, while there is a lengthy history of use, robust scientific validation of the efficacy and safety of most proprietary blends is lacking. Many studies focus on individual herbs rather than the exact proprietary mixtures used in supplements. Systematic reviews generally find insufficient high-quality evidence to conclusively support most health claims related to uterine support. Some individual ingredients may show promise in limited studies, but the effects of combined proprietary blends are not well studied. Thus, the primary justification for their use is tradition, and the overall evidence rating is moderate to low.
