ACV Gummies: Hype or Help? My Thoughts on the Science
Just read this article about ACV gummies. Seems like there's some potential benefits but also questions. Anyone tried them? What's your take?
I've been using them for a month now (the GOLI ones). As a sleep-deprived parent, I need all the help I can get with blood sugar spikes from all the coffee and carbs. Can't say I've noticed a huge difference, but I feel like they help with my post-meal energy crashes. Also they taste way better than drinking that vinegar stuff, lol.
Personally, I steer clear of anything with added sugar, even gummies. ACV has some evidence for blood sugar control, but you're better off with the liquid form or capsules if you're sugar-free. Plus, many gummies have a tiny amount of ACV anyway. But I get the convenience factor.
I use them while intermittent fasting. They don't break my fast (negligible calories) and they curb my appetite. I know the research is mixed, but for me, they help me stick to my window. Also, they might help with digestion? At least they don't upset my stomach like the vinegar does.
