Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies, 60

Apple cider vinegar in a gummy, from Pure Limitless. The jar holds 60 vegan gummies with a natural apple flavour, made in the UK with a pre-mix of apple cider vinegar and ginger extract. It is a way to have apple cider vinegar without drinking it neat or diluting it in water.

The UK back label gives a recommended daily intake of one gummy, so a jar is 60 days at £5.99, about 10p a day. If you have been searching for apple cider vinegar gummies or ACV gummies in the UK, this is a straightforward, vegan, made-in-Britain option.

What it is

Apple cider vinegar is made by fermenting apple juice twice: first yeast turns the sugar into alcohol (cider), then acetic acid bacteria turn the alcohol into vinegar. Unfiltered vinegar keeps a cloudy sediment of yeast and bacteria known as "the mother". Taken as a drink it is sharp and acidic, which is why gummies and capsules have become a popular format. We describe what it is and how it is taken; we make no claims about what it does.

In these gummies the apple cider vinegar comes in a pre-mix with ginger extract, which comes after glucose syrup, sugar and water in the ingredient list. The label does not state how much apple cider vinegar or ginger is in each gummy, so we do not give a figure. The colour comes from anthocyanins and copper chlorophyll.

The jar is labelled vegan, made in the UK, and free from GMOs under the GB regulation on genetically modified food. Another panel of the brand's packaging says the product is free from allergens as defined in food labelling law. The label carries an 18+ symbol, so the gummies are for adults.

Pure Limitless is a UK supplement brand. Herbastore stocks its gummies alongside its NAD+ sublingual drops, as one of our third-party brands with Mushroom Dispensary, Somniveve and Easy Green CBD.

How to take it

The UK back label gives a recommended daily intake of one gummy a day. An earlier panel of the brand's packaging and its former listing said two a day, so follow the directions on the jar you receive and do not exceed them. Chew the gummy; no water is needed, although the brand's former listing suggested taking them with food.

Frequently asked questions

How many apple cider vinegar gummies a day?

One, according to the UK back label's recommended daily intake. Follow the directions on your jar and do not exceed them.

When should I take apple cider vinegar gummies?

The label does not set a time. Many people take them with a meal, which the brand's former listing suggested; choose a fixed point in the day so you remember.

What is the mother in apple cider vinegar?

The cloudy sediment of yeast and acetic acid bacteria left in unfiltered vinegar after fermentation. The brand's former listing described these gummies as made with the mother; the UK back label lists apple cider vinegar without saying so.

Are these apple cider vinegar gummies vegan?

Yes. They are set with pectin rather than gelatine and the jar is labelled vegan formula.

Do they contain probiotics?

The UK back label does not list a probiotic culture, so we do not describe them as probiotic gummies.
