Synopsis

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

The use of proprietary blends containing herbs and botanicals to support the hepatic (liver) system is primarily rooted in traditional medicine. Many cultures, particularly in Asia and Europe, have long histories of utilizing herbal remedies such as milk thistle (Silybum marianum), dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), and artichoke (Cynara scolymus) for liver health. These herbs are often included in proprietary blends marketed for liver support. Traditional uses are typically based on empirical observations, anecdotal evidence, and historical texts rather than rigorous scientific studies.

Some individual herbs found in these blends, such as milk thistle, have limited clinical research suggesting potential benefits for liver function and protection against toxins. However, the evidence is often inconsistent, and for most proprietary blends, the specific combination and dosages of herbs are not standardized or clinically evaluated. Overall, while there is a rich tradition of using botanicals for hepatic support, the scientific validation for most proprietary blends is limited. Thus, their use is best characterized as traditional, with a modest evidence rating.
