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.
