Synopsis

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

Many "herbal blends" marketed as proprietary formulas for glandular system support are primarily rooted in traditional use rather than robust scientific validation. Historically, various cultures have used herbs believed to influence the glands (such as the thyroid, adrenal, or pituitary) to promote overall vitality or address specific symptoms. Common ingredients in such blends may include licorice root (used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda for adrenal support), ashwagandha (an adaptogen believed to support the endocrine system), and schisandra (used in traditional medicine for stress and fatigue). While these herbs have a long history of use for such purposes, modern scientific studies on the efficacy and safety of these blends as a whole are limited, and many studies available are either small, animal-based, or preliminary.

Most evidence supporting these blends is anecdotal or based on traditional practices rather than large-scale, placebo-controlled clinical trials. Furthermore, the proprietary nature of these blends means the exact formulation and dosage are often undisclosed, making it difficult to evaluate efficacy or safety conclusively. As a result, while there is a substantial tradition behind the use of herbal blends for glandular system support, scientific validation remains limited and inconclusive.
