A "vegetable blend (proprietary)" typically refers to a mixture of powdered or extracted vegetables, such as spinach, kale, broccoli, carrot, and similar plant foods. The justification for using these blends to support large intestine (colon) health is primarily grounded in scientific understanding of dietary fiber, phytochemicals, and micronutrients present in vegetables. Numerous epidemiological and clinical studies indicate that higher intake of vegetables is associated with improved bowel regularity, reduced risk of colorectal cancer, and overall enhanced gut health. This is largely due to the fiber content, which increases stool bulk and promotes regularity, as well as the presence of polyphenols and antioxidants that may support a healthy gut microbiome and reduce inflammation in the colon.

However, specific evidence for "proprietary blends" as formulated in supplements is less robust than for whole vegetables in the diet. The health benefits observed in scientific literature are most often linked to the consumption of intact vegetables rather than processed powders or extracts. Some studies suggest that vegetable powders can retain beneficial compounds and contribute to fiber intake, but the effects might be attenuated compared to whole foods. In summary, while there is scientific rationale and moderate evidence (rated 3/5) that vegetable blends may support colon health, most of the strongest data pertain to whole vegetable consumption rather than supplement forms.
