Overview

The effectiveness of this ACV gummy is moderate. While apple cider vinegar has shown some benefits for blood glucose and lipid profiles, the dose of 500mg per gummy is low compared to doses used in most robust studies (typically 15-30mL of liquid ACV, equivalent to significantly more acetic acid than 500mg of ACV powder). The inclusion of B vitamins and iodine is beneficial for those with deficiencies or increased needs. However, the doses of pomegranate and beet root juice powders are likely too low (40mcg each) to provide significant clinical benefits seen in studies which typically employ much higher milligram doses of extracts or grams of juice.

The Good

Convenient Gummy Format: Offers an appealing alternative for individuals who dislike the taste and acidity of liquid ACV.

Provides Key B Vitamins: Contains Vitamin B6, Folate (B9), and Vitamin B12, supporting energy metabolism and overall wellness.

Includes Iodine: Contributes to normal thyroid function, a crucial aspect of metabolic health.

The Bad

Suboptimal ACV Dose: The 500mg of Apple Cider Vinegar Complex is considerably lower than the 1-2 tablespoons (15-30mL) of liquid ACV often studied for significant metabolic benefits.

Low Doses of Pomegranate and Beet Root Powders: At 40mcg each, these ingredients are severely underdosed and unlikely to provide clinical benefits seen in research, which often uses gram-range quantities.

Contains Added Sugars: Each gummy has 2g of added sugar, which can accumulate if multiple gummies are consumed daily.
