Although most people would flinch at the ‘vinegar’ part, apple cider vinegar gummies are actually really tasty and super convenient to eat.
But what are they? What do they do?
If you want to try out some apple cider vinegar gummies but you’re wary about the effects they will have on your body, then look no further.
This guide will go through all the benefits and side effects related to apple cider vinegar.
So, check out the information below to see if apple cider vinegar gummies are the right supplements for you!
What Are Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies?
Apple cider vinegar gummies are a type of dietary supplement which contain ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) but without the really strong, sharp taste.
ACV is used in everything from cleaning to cooking.
However, its harsh taste makes it super hard to drink straight due to its high acidity – so apple cider vinegar gummies were made so people could get all the benefits of ACV with ease.
Typical apple cider vinegar contains ACV concentrate but water down the taste (see also: How To Make Apple Cider Vinegar Taste Good)by using sugar, fruit extracts, and additional vitamins.
What Are The Effects Of Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies?
So, now you know what apple cider vinegar gummies are and what they contain, it’s time to look at what people claim apple cider vinegar gummies can do for your body.
This will help explain why so many people eat apple cider vinegar gummies – and warn you of any effects you wish to avoid!
Helps With Dieting And Weight Loss
Everyone knows that certain supplement fads can come and go but apple cider vinegar gummies have stuck around due to their benefits.
One such benefit is how apple cider vinegar gummies help with weight loss. ACV itself is used as a weight loss agent, with some studies pointing to ACV helping reduce body weight and lower BMI.
Some studies, however, remain skeptical and instead claim that the reason why apple cider vinegar gummies help with dieting and weight loss is because they help thwart hunger and reduce snacking.
Others say that it’s ACV itself which promotes weight loss and the small concentrated amount used in apple cider vinegar gummies is not enough to make a huge difference with your weight.
Whichever you believe, apple cider vinegar gummies are definitely common supplements used to help with weight loss and their effectiveness has helped them remain constant favorites in the supplement market.
Increase Blood Sugar And Cholesterol
This claim that apple cider vinegar gummies can help reduce your blood sugar and cholesterol is founded on studies which show that ACV consumption is linked to such effects.
However, it’s important to know that studies researching similar effects in apple cider vinegar gummies have not found similar results.
This means that there’s no evidence to suggest that apple cider vinegar gummies help reduce cholesterol and fasting blood sugar – in fact, it can have the opposite effect because so many apple cider vinegar gummies use sugar to help water down the acidic taste of ACV.
So, a lot of apple cider vinegar gummies are marketed as good for helping to reduce cholesterol and blood sugar due to results from studies into ACV – not apple cider vinegar gummies themselves.
Instead, eating apple cider vinegar gummies regularly can instead give your body a regular feed of sugar which can have a serious effect on your blood sugar levels.
Boosts From Additional Vitamins
A lot of apple cider vinegar gummies include added vitamins and minerals to help provide more health benefits.
While it’s true that such added vitamins can help you out in lots of different ways, they are usually added to apple cider vinegar gummies in such small amounts that they have a very little impact on your body (see also: How Does Apple Cider Vinegar Detox Your Body?).
For example, take vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is a well known vitamin that best helps combat fatigue and keep you energized.
When used in apple cider vinegar gummies, B12 is added in such small amounts that you will not feel the kind of boost you expect from other serious supplements.
However, frequent consumption perhaps can but this again depends on how much B12 is used in your specific brand of apple cider vinegar gummies.
Overall, apple cider vinegar gummies don’t really offer much help with its additional ingredients. Each portion is too small, and the amount of vitamins contained in each gummy is not enough to feel an effect.
As a result, you would be better off getting a vitamin supplement specifically designed for that ‘additional’ ingredient in the apple cider vinegar gummy.
Tooth Decay
To help hide the acidic taste of ACV, a lot of apple cider vinegar gummies are made with a lot of sugar.
This itself can be problematic for your health as high sugar consumption can lead to tooth decay and enamel problems in your mouth.
As a result, many dentists would recommend that you avoid eating apple cider vinegar gummies due to these effects on your teeth and oral health.
Final Thoughts
So, do apple cider vinegar gummies offer any benefits at all?
In short, no.
Most of the benefits people think are linked to apple cider vinegar gummies actually come from ACV, which is much stronger and consumed in higher doses than what is found in apple cider vinegar gummies.
Although snacking on apple cider vinegar gummies can help avoid you snacking on larger amounts of food, helping with weight loss, there’s little else apple cider vinegar gummies can provide.
If you want the health benefits often associated with ACV (such as cholesterol benefits, detoxation, blood sugar reduction), then you are better off consuming ACV as it is or diluted down with some water.
Gummies do not contain the same benefits because the ACV present in them is way too small in portion to actually offer any serious benefits you will see – only the negative effects of too much sugar.
So, it might be better for you to avoid apple cider vinegar gummies altogether.
