New study on ACV gummies - legit or just snake oil?
Just read this study (PMID: 38765432) about apple cider vinegar gummies. It says they can help with blood sugar control and weight loss, but the sample size was small and it was funded by a supplement company. Do you guys think this is legit or just biased marketing? I'm a skeptic but also desperate for something to help with my sweet cravings while on keto. Thoughts?
I've been taking ACV gummies for a few months now and I feel like they help with my digestion and energy. But honestly, I'm not sure if it's real or just placebo. My doctor says they're safe but not a miracle. That study funding is a red flag though. Maybe look for independent studies?
Honestly, those gummies are overpriced when you can just make your own. I mix raw ACV with honey and a bit of cayenne, and I feel the same benefits. The study probably has some truth but the dosages are way lower in gummies. I'd say it's mostly hype. Save your money and DIY it!
From a fitness perspective, ACV can aid with blood sugar spikes, but don't expect miracles. I use the gummies occasionally for convenience, but the study's funding is indeed suspect. Also, check the actual amount of acetic acid – many brands don't have enough to be effective. Look for one with a high % and no added sugar.
