Weird side effect from Goli gummies? Anyone else get super vivid dreams??
So I started taking Goli apple cider vinegar gummies about a week ago (2 in the morning, 2 at night). Didn't expect much, just wanted to see if it helped with my energy. But OMG, my dreams have been CRAZY vivid. Like, I'm talking full-on movies every night. Last night I dreamed I was a contestant on a baking show but all the ingredients were gummy vitamins. Woke up genuinely stressed about my soggy bottom. 😂 Has anyone else experienced this? It's not unpleasant, just... weird? I'm a retired nurse so I've seen my share of odd side effects, but this one is new to me. Could it be the ACV? Or maybe the B12? I know B vitamins can mess with sleep. Anyway, just curious if I'm alone here.
Med student here (not a doctor yet, so take with a grain of salt). Vivid dreams aren't a super common side effect of ACV gummies specifically, but B6 and B12 can definitely affect sleep and dream recall. Some people report more vivid dreams when they take B vitamins, especially if they're deficient or take them close to bedtime. Also, ACV can lower blood sugar a bit, and low blood sugar at night can cause weird dreams. Maybe try taking your evening dose earlier? Like with dinner instead of right before bed. Just a thought! Also, that baking show dream sounds hilarious. Did you win?
I haven't tried Goli specifically (trying to cut down on plastic waste, and those little bottles are a lot of packaging), but I did try another brand of ACV gummies last year and had the same thing! Super vivid dreams for like two weeks. I thought maybe it was because I was also taking magnesium at the time. But maybe there's something to the ACV. I ended up switching to just plain ACV in water with a straw (to protect my teeth) and the dreams stopped. Not sure if it's related, but you're not alone! Also, have you noticed any change in taste? I swear the gummies made everything taste a little sweeter for a while. Or maybe that was just the sugar in them, lol.
Oh man, I've been taking Goli for about a month now and I haven't had vivid dreams, but I have noticed my urine is like... neon yellow? I know that's probably the B vitamins (riboflavin, right?), but it's still startling every time. 😅 As for dreams, I did have one where I was back in high school and couldn't remember my locker combination. Does that count? Probably just anxiety, not the gummies. Nina, your baking show dream is a riot. I think you should write a blog post about it. Seriously, I'd read that.
Thanks for the replies, everyone! Good to know I'm not losing my mind. Yuri, I'll try taking the evening dose with dinner instead of before bed. And no, I didn't win the baking show—my gummy cake collapsed. Tragic. Ellen, I haven't noticed a taste change, but I'll keep an eye out. And Jack, the neon urine is definitely a thing! I forgot to mention that. It's like highlighter yellow. I guess that's just the B2 doing its job. Anyway, I'll report back if the dreams chill out. Or if I dream about being a contestant on Survivor next. 😂
