ACV Gummies

The ACV gummy is one of six gummies in the daily GUUDIES pouch. It carries 600mg of apple cider vinegar with the mother, in a chewable format rather than a liquid shot. Tangy apple flavour, pectin based, vegan, one gummy a day.

What is in the ACV gummy

What “with the mother” means

The mother is the cloudy, stringy sediment that forms in apple cider vinegar during fermentation. It is a colony of acetic acid bacteria along with the enzymes and proteins they produce. Filtered, pasteurised supermarket vinegar has it removed, which is why it looks clear. Raw unfiltered vinegar keeps it, and that is what we use.

The main compound in any vinegar is acetic acid. It is what makes vinegar sharp, and it is the reason vinegar has been used as a preservative for thousands of years.

Why a gummy rather than a shot

Liquid apple cider vinegar is acidic. Dentists advise against drinking it neat because repeated exposure is hard on tooth enamel, and most people find the taste unpleasant enough that the habit does not last. The gummy delivers the same 600mg without pouring acid over your teeth, and it is easier to keep doing.

How to take it

One ACV gummy a day, taken together with the other five gummies in your mini pouch, with or after food. Each pouch holds 28 daily servings. Designed for consistent daily use as part of your GUUDIES routine.

Format, allergens and suitability

Pectin based, so no gelatine, and vegan. Around 0.3 calories and 0.4g of sugar per gummy, sweetened with tapioca syrup rather than the sugar alcohols common in UK gummies. No synthetic dyes, no artificial sweeteners, no gluten, dairy, nuts, GMOs or fillers. Halal.

Formulated for adults aged 18 and over. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking prescription medication, check with your GP before starting any new supplement. The NHS guidance on vitamins and minerals is a sensible starting point if you are unsure what you actually need.

One of six gummies in the routine

Each GUUDIES mini pouch holds six gummies, every one targeting a different system so they work together rather than overlapping:

• Daily Greens+ Multivitamin, the core vitamin, mineral and greens base, tropical flavour
• Marine Collagen, with biotin, peach flavour
• Mushroom Mix, five functional mushrooms, mixed berries flavour
• Sea Moss, Irish sea moss, raspberry flavour
• Metabolic, saffron, lemon and blood orange, strawberry jam flavour
• ACV, the one on this page, tangy apple flavour

All six are pectin based and gelatine free. Five are vegan. Marine Collagen is the one exception, since it contains collagen from fish.

Common questions

How much apple cider vinegar is in each gummy?

600mg of apple cider vinegar with the mother, per daily serving.

Does it taste of vinegar?

No. It is tangy apple flavoured. The vinegar is carried in a pectin gummy rather than served as a liquid.

Is the ACV gummy vegan?

Yes. It is plant based and pectin based, with no gelatine.

What does “with the mother” actually mean?

The mother is the cloudy sediment that forms during fermentation, made up of acetic acid bacteria and the enzymes and proteins they produce. Filtered, pasteurised vinegar has it removed. Raw unfiltered vinegar keeps it.

Is a gummy better for my teeth than liquid vinegar?

Liquid vinegar is acidic and dentists advise against drinking it neat, since repeated exposure is hard on enamel. A gummy avoids that exposure.

Can I buy the ACV gummy on its own?

Not as a standalone. It is one of six gummies in every GUUDIES daily mini pouch.

Can I take it on an empty stomach?

You can, though the simplest routine is to take the whole pouch with or after food, since some of the nutrients in Daily Greens+ are fat soluble.

Can I take it alongside prescription medication?

Check with your GP or pharmacist first. That applies to any new supplement, particularly if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or on regular medication.
