Fruit blend (proprietary)
Synopsis of fruit blend (proprietary)
A fruit blend (proprietary) is a formulation composed of multiple fruit powders, extracts, or concentrates, typically standardized for their vitamin, mineral, polyphenol, and antioxidant content. While the exact components vary by manufacturer, these blends often include fruits like blueberry, pomegranate, acai, goji, cranberry, grape, cherry, pineapple, mango, strawberry, and citrus fruits, selected for their nutrient density and diverse phytochemical profiles.
The primary role of a proprietary fruit blend is to deliver broad-spectrum antioxidant support, neutralizing free radicals and reducing oxidative stress throughout the body. These blends are frequently included in multivitamins, greens powders, energy drinks, immune boosters, and anti-aging formulas. Common bioactives include vitamin C, anthocyanins, flavonoids, resveratrol, carotenoids, and ellagic acid, which contribute to cellular protection, cardiovascular health, immune modulation, and skin vitality.
Modern applications of proprietary fruit blends often target inflammation, detoxification, metabolic health, cognitive support, and energy levels. Some formulations are designed to preserve enzyme activity and nutrient integrity through low-heat drying, freeze-drying, or cold processing. Because of the proprietary nature, manufacturers do not always disclose exact ingredient ratios, but may highlight signature fruits or standardized antioxidant levels (e.g., ORAC values).
Historical Use
Though the concept of a proprietary fruit blend is a modern innovation, the use of fruits for therapeutic and nutritional purposes spans thousands of years across all major traditional systems of medicine. In Ayurveda, fruits such as amla (Indian gooseberry), pomegranate, and mango were key ingredients in rejuvenative formulas and digestive tonics. Amla, for instance, was central to the classical formula Triphala, revered for its detoxifying and antioxidant effects.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), fruits like lychee, hawthorn, and citrus peels were used to harmonize digestion, promote Qi flow, and nourish fluids. Dried berries and fruit peels were commonly brewed into teas or decoctions to address fatigue, internal heat, and inflammation.
Across ancient Mediterranean cultures, grapes, figs, olives, and dates were not only dietary staples but also used medicinally for their laxative, immune-boosting, and energy-restoring properties. Fermented fruit preparations (e.g., vinegars, wines) also served as delivery systems for botanical medicines.
The modern idea of combining multiple fruits into a single concentrated blend evolved with advances in nutraceutical processing and standardization. As researchers began quantifying the antioxidant and phytonutrient values of different fruits, formulations were developed to harness their synergistic effects. Today’s proprietary fruit blends reflect the convergence of traditional dietary wisdom and modern clinical nutrition, offering a convenient way to access the health benefits of multiple fruits in a single serving.
