Nutritionist backs Apple Cider Vinegar gummies as 'fantastic choice' for boosting diets

Apple cider vinegar, often hailed as a 'miracle-making elixir' in the wellness world due to its numerous benefits such as reducing fatigue, balancing blood sugar levels and aiding weight loss, has been given a new twist.
For many, the idea of consuming 1-2 tablespoons of cloudy, 'unfiltered' apple cider vinegar - rich in the 'mother', a cloudy substance believed to be packed with beneficial bacteria, proteins and enzymes - is rather unpalatable. However, Protein Works has devised a more palatable solution that offers all the same purported benefits but in a gummy-sweet form.
Discussing the appeal of these gummies, Georgina Kelly, a nutritionist at Protein Works, commented: "Apple cider vinegar has long been celebrated for its potential health benefits, but the strong taste and acidity of the liquid form can make it challenging to incorporate into a daily routine. That's where Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies come in - delivering all the benefits in a great-tasting and convenient format."
Kelly further explained the added value of their product: "These gummies go beyond traditional apple cider vinegar by including additional nutrients like Chromium, which plays a key role in regulating blood sugar levels and supporting macronutrient metabolism. This makes them a fantastic choice for those managing energy levels or following an energy-restricted diet."
Currently on offer for £9.99, down from the usual price of £14.99, the Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies are loaded with six active ingredients including vitamin C, B6, B12, chromium, folate and 1000mg of ACV. The apple cider vinegar component consists of 500mg of unfiltered apple cider vinegar, complete with "the Mother:" a natural, cloudy substance formed during fermentation.
Moreover, Reach readers can enjoy an extra 10% discount with the code PW10, bringing the price down to £8.99.
Boasting a 'refreshing' red apple flavour, these 100% vegan and GMO-free gummies are packed with nutrients designed to 'maintain energy, support metabolism, and regulate blood sugar levels'. It's recommended to pop two of these treats daily, either in one go or spaced out, potentially giving you a boost during the midday lull, reports the Daily Record.
Available in batches of 60, 120, or 180, snagging a 60-pack at £9.99 means each gummy is just 16p. Protein Works sheds light on the benefits of apple cider vinegar for blood sugar management: "One of the best researched benefits of apple cider vinegar is its effect on blood sugar control. Various studies have shown that it can level out insulin and glucose levels after eating a carbohydrate-heavy meal."
The company further explains how this works: "It does this by slowing the rate of stomach emptying, and only a small amount of vinegar is needed to have this effect. In fact, just 20ml before meals has been shown to make a difference. This could be especially handy for those with diabetes or PCOS, for whom insulin resistance causes a range of other health problems."
Incorporating apple cider vinegar into your routine is also touted by Protein Works as a way to combat bloating, particularly beneficial for those with digestive issues, and it may even help keep cravings at bay when consumed with food.
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is touted for its health benefits, but its strong taste can be off-putting. To make it more palatable, brands like Holland and Barrett have created ACV gummies, offering a 60-pack with 'Mother' for £13.99.
MyVitamins also provides a choice of 30 or 60 gummies, costing £7.99 and £10.49 respectively.
Although there's only one review on the Protein Works' website for their gummies, it's a five-star rave: "I'm loving these gummies, they taste so good. I'm a big believer in supplementing with apple cider vinegar and these are a much nicer way to consume than a tablet."
The brand has garnered impressive feedback, boasting an 'excellent' 4.7-star rating on Trustpilot. A delighted customer shared their experience: "From the fantastic customer service to the prompt same day dispatch and next day delivery (on weekends, might I add), to the array of products and sheer quality," they added.
Echoing this sentiment, another customer remarked, "Outstanding products, I cannot recommend them highly enough."
While there have been no negative comments about the gummies from customers so far, it's worth noting that, according to Protein Works, excessive consumption of apple cider vinegar could lead to sensitive teeth, stomach irritation, or low potassium levels. Those with concerns should consult a healthcare professional or GP.
Apple Cider Vinegar gummies are available to purchase from Protein Works.

Scottish man who collapsed in Florida 'may never walk again' as family make desperate plea

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A carpenter who collapsed in Florida faces the possibility of never walking again and being 'bedridden for life' unless he can return to Scotland. Gordon Milloy, originally from Kilmarnock, experienced heart and kidney failure which led to several strokes on Tuesday, March 4, confining him to the HCA Florida JFK Hospital as his family fights to get him back home for medical care. Although covered by health insurance policy with Florida Blue, who suggested placing him in a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF), Gordon's brother Brian Milloy, 57, is pushing for an Acute Rehabilitation Facility (IRF), believing it offers better chances for rehabilitation. While SNFs are generally designated for patients not yet capable of handling intensive therapy, Gordon's family aims for IRF-based treatment, which is more comprehensive than an intermediate SNF option. Brian expressed frustration at the insurance company's stance: "The insurance company is denying him access to acute rehabilitation claiming he's not fit enough to complete it - despite doctors saying he's ready to be discharged.", reports the Daily Record. (Image: GoFundMe) He further highlighted the challenge in finding an appropriate SNF equipped with required dialysis services, given that Gordon requires it three times per week due to precarious liver function. Back in Scotland, Brian is confident that Gordon would have access to IRF: "In Scotland, Gordon will be offered IRF. We need to get him back home." Without urgent rehabilitation and specialist equipment, Brian warns that his brother may end up condemned to a life confined to bed: "Without acute rehab and specialised equipment, he'll likely remain bedridden for the rest of his life. He will basically have no life at all." (Image: Supplied) Brian discovered his brother Gordon in a dire state at his home in Florida early March, collapsed on the bathroom floor suffering from heart and kidney failure that led to multiple strokes. He explained: "Gordon was lying collapsed on the bathroom floor. He had heart and kidney failure which had caused multiple strokes. The doctors reckon his heart was only functioning at 20 per cent at one point." The family is now eager to bring Gordon back to Scotland for NHS treatment and the necessary care. (Image: Supplied) Brian elaborated: "For him to have any sort of life, he needs to be home in Scotland where he has access to the NHS. It is very doubtful that he'll ever be able to work again either. He won't be able to support himself financially in the US. "We need to get him back to Scotland where he'll receive dialysis, post-stroke care and acute rehabilitation. It would be better all round." Transporting Gordon via a US medical flight is estimated to cost around £300,000, while UK companies have quoted between £100,000 and £150,000. However, the family has secured an offer from a German company partnered with Lufthansa, AirAmbulance24, who can provide the service for just under £50,000, including a stretcher, medical team, and ground transport. In response, Brian has set up a GoFundMe page which has already garnered close to £21,000, as he seeks to gather the necessary funds. "I'm reaching out to anyone who can help get my brother Gordy back to Scotland for the proper care required to hopefully live a somewhat normal life again," he appealed.

He deserves a chance. He's a gentle giant who's been through hell." Those wishing to support the Milloy family's efforts to bring Gordon home can visit their GoFundMe page at Florida Blue was contacted for a statement but declined to comment on individual cases.
