Apple cider vinegar (ACV) gummies are a tasty alternative to drinking ACV. These gummies may have antioxidant and antibacterial properties like ACV without the intense flavor.  ACV gummies can be an excellent addition to your daily health routine, but it’s essential to understand their potential benefits, differences, and when to take them, and when to avoid them.

What Are Numo’s ACV Gummies?

We believe Numo’s gummies are as close as you can get to drinking apple cider vinegar in a gummy.  They’re made from organic fruits and free from added sugar, additives, preservatives, and artificial ingredients. Numo’s ACV gummies are made with live cultures fromthe mother, a powerful blend of good bacteria, and added natural probiotics that promote gut health.

These potent gummies also contain three times more acetic acid than other ACV gummies. Acetic acid has been known to kill harmful bacteria and decrease inflammation. Raw ACV typically has 750 mg of Acetic Acid per tablespoon.  Most gummies on the market only have approximately 25 mg per serving. 

What Are The Health Benefits Of ACV and ACV Gummies?

Raw ACV contains beneficial organic acids, such as acetic acid and malic acid, metabolites and live cultures from “the mother.”  For years people have believed that the primary health benefits of ACV come from “the Mother,” but not many studies have been completed to back this up.  Recently, there has been new research fromStanfordregarding the health benefits of fermented foods for overall gut health.  While hard studies need to be completed to confirm fermented Mother’s benefits, since “the Mother” is a naturally fermented food, “the Mother” may, after all, be the star of the show. 

Numo's products contain live cultures from “the Mother.”  For completeness, Numo adds an additional 250 million CFUs of studied probiotics (Bacillus Coagulins).  Traditional gummies from leading manufacturers do not maintain live cultures from “the Mother” due to the use of heat in the gummy manufacturing process.*

Helps Improve Digestion

People with low stomach acidity can have difficulty properly digesting foods. Raw ACV is made up of various organic acids, which can improve stomach acid levels and digestion. ACV gummies that contain the right amount of acetic acid may help reduce bloating by killing excess bacteria in the gut. *

May Assist In Weight Loss*

Raw apple cider vinegar can suppress your appetite, helping you lose weight. According to a2014 study, acetic acid plays a central role in central appetite regulation. ACV gummies’ high acetic acid concentrations can affect feelings of hunger; those with the highest acetic acid concentrations may have the most potent effect.*

Along with diet and exercise, a daily ACV dosage equivalent to 30 ml or 750 mg of acetic acid may help you manage weight and normalize fat stores without causing adverse side effects.  We have not found any gummy on the market that has this level of Acetic Acid in one serving.  Most gummies have only 25mg of Acetic acid.  Numo’s ACV gummies maintain 75mg, which is three times more acetic acid than traditional ACV gummies.  

Increasing Energy

ACV gummies contain vitamins B9 and B12, which help your body convert carbohydrates and glucose into energy. They may also counteract the muscle fatigue caused by lactic acid buildup, leaving your body feeling refreshed. 

Support Immunity

ACV contains polyphenols, which have antioxidant properties. These organic compounds help eliminatefree radicals, which can damage your cells. Some free radicals are beneficial. For example, your body’s immune system uses its cell-killing abilities to fight pathogens. Still, excess free radicals can trigger various diseases, forcing your body’s immune system to work harder.

When To Take ACV Gummies

You can take ACV gummies daily if you don’t exceed a dosage equivalent to 2 tablespoons of liquid ACV. In general, it’s best to limit your dosage to around two ACV gummies twice daily. Consider taking your gummies before meals and with food. 

Additionally, because sugar and acid may temporarily weaken your teeth’s enamel, it's best to take ACV gummies around an hour before you brush your teeth. Brushing your teeth directly after chewing gummies may further damage your enamel.  Raw ACV also has more potent acetic acid levels, so brush up immediately after consuming or drinking raw ACV.

ACV and ACV Gummies and Digestion

ACV gummies and Raw ACV may be an excellent addition to your daily supplement regimen to help boost your metabolism and digestive issues.  Everyone’s body is different and responds differently to different levels of acidity.   Raw ACV may be particularly helpful for people with low stomach acidto find relief by adding the acetic acid in ACV into their diet.  

Outside of acetic acid, many people turn to traditional probiotics for relief of digestive issues. This is where “the mother” and its natural probiotic potential can come back into the picture. “The mother”, like any fermented food, cannot be classified as a probiotic without clinical studies, but we do understand from the aforementioned Stanford Study, that Fermented foods can positively impact gut health. Numo’s ACV gummies include millions of CFU of live cultures from “the mother,” and (250 million CFU) of traditional clinically studied probiotics (Bacillus Coagulins). 

Raw Apple cider vinegar mayslow gastric emptying, which isn’t ideal for people with gastroparesis and type 1 diabetes. Delayed gastric emptying may also reduce the rate at which nutrients are absorbed, so you should consult with a medical professional before taking ACV if you have a nutrient deficiency.  

What Are The Potential Side Effects?

Raw ACV is highly acidic; taking too much can upset your stomach. Taking a higher-than-average daily dose of ACV may also result in lowered potassium levels, which may cause weakness, constipation, and abnormal heart rhythms. Those taking diuretics should avoid ACV since it, combined with diuretics, may significantly impact your potassium levels. As with any supplement, it’s best to consult your doctor before taking apple cider vinegar to ensure it won’t negatively interact with your other medications.

Conclusion

The right Apple cider vinegar gummies may be an excellent way for people to add ACV to their daily routines. While gummies are not the same as taking raw ACV, they may be an excellent source of the beneficial nutrients from “the Mother.” With proper diet and exercise, these versatile supplements may be a great compliment to a weight loss routine, as well as increase one’s metabolism and improve digestion. Still, it’s important to speak to a healthcare professional before taking ACV, as a few negative side effects may impact certain people.*
