A "herbal blend (proprietary)" is a general term often used in dietary supplements to describe a mixture of herbs whose exact composition and dosages are not disclosed. The use of herbal blends to support the small intestines stems largely from traditional medicine systems such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, and various folk traditions. In these systems, combinations of herbs are believed to work synergistically to promote digestion, support gut health, and balance the body's internal environment. Commonly included herbs might be ginger, licorice root, peppermint, and others, each with a long history of use for digestive complaints.

While there is a substantial tradition of using herbal blends for digestive and intestinal support, scientific validation is limited, especially for proprietary blends where ingredients and dosages are not specified. Individual herbs within a blend may have some supporting evidence (e.g., peppermint for irritable bowel syndrome), but the effectiveness of unspecified combinations remains unproven in rigorous clinical trials. As such, the justification for the use of a proprietary herbal blend to support the small intestines is primarily rooted in traditional use rather than robust scientific validation.
