What Makes This Product Unique?
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) products are all the buzz and continue to skyrocket in popularity. The global market revenue of ACV products reached a total of $915 million USD in 2021 and by 2028 is expected to exceed $1,800 million USD.1 As a child, your mum may have given you a large spoonful of cod liver oil, castor oil or apple cider vinegar. However, while these traditional remedies were potentially beneficial, they often had an unpleasant taste and smell. Today, a growing number of products are being offered in gummy form, providing more convenience in our fast-paced world. Shopping Annuity Brand Premium Apple Cider Vinegar + Ginger Gummies are formulated with 500 mg of apple cider vinegar and a hint of ginger, offering a more subtle taste.
The history of apple cider and apple cider vinegar dates back to Johnny Appleseed, who was responsible for planting apple trees and dispersing apple seeds for others to plant.4,5 This led to the expansion of apple cider trees across the Midwest of the United States. These apples were used to make apple cider juice and apple cider vinegar and are likely the reason apple cider remains prominent today. ACV products come in various forms (tablets, capsules, gummies and liquid), each offering its own benefits. Liquid forms of apple cider vinegar, however, have been shown to be harsher on teeth enamel and may contribute to throat or esophagus irritation.6-8 Plus, the liquid form has—to be honest—a not-so-pleasant, potent smell and taste. Similarly, while capsules and tablets may be easier to take, the products are still notorious for having the unpleasant smell and taste of apple cider vinegar.
Alternatively, gummies are becoming more popular, not only for their convenience but also because gummies can be comprised of other flavours, which may help tame the unpleasant ACV taste. Although sugar is often included in gummies to offset the acidic taste, the sugar does not completely mask the flavour of the apple cider vinegar itself. In our gummies, the dash of ginger contributes to a more palatable, light and refreshing taste. You can thank Johnny Appleseed for his good deed! Shopping Annuity Brand Premium Apple Cider Vinegar + Ginger Gummies are gluten-free, non-GMO and vegetarian while containing only 20 calories/84 kilojoules per serving.
Hop on the ACV bandwagon… a way to get ACV with a more appealing taste!
Shopping Annuity® Brand Premium Apple Cider Vinegar + Ginger Gummies
Key Ingredients
Apple Cider Vinegar: 500 mg
Apple cider is produced from real apples as they are crushed and juiced. The apple cider then undergoes fermentation and apple cider vinegar is formed. Much like apple juice, it contains some pectin and B vitamins, as well as trace amounts of some minerals. Apple cider vinegar has been used as a food ingredient and a traditional folk ingredient for centuries.
Ginger: 2 mg
Ginger is a shoot-like plant with a single purple-green flower that contains a thick root. The root (ginger root) is the portion of the plant most commonly used and is the source of ginger's aroma and spice. Ginger has been used as a traditional ingredient for years, including in Asian culture. It is native to coastal India but is now grown and harvested commonly in Jamaica, China, Africa and the West Indies.
FAQs
- Who would benefit from Shopping Annuity Brand Premium Apple Cider Vinegar + Ginger Gummies?
This product would benefit those who have difficulties taking tablets or capsules. ACV gummies are easier to take than liquid ACV because they are often combined with other flavours to reduce the acidic taste and smell. It is important to note that even though gummies may be more convenient and taste-worthy, the gingerol does not compromise the benefits of ACV. - Who should avoid taking Shopping Annuity Brand Premium Apple Cider Vinegar + Ginger Gummies?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding or taking blood thinners (anticoagulants) consult your healthcare provider before taking this product to ensure this product is safe for you to consume. Do not take this product if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. - What are the benefits of gummies made with pectin vs. gelatin?
Shopping Annuity Brand Premium Apple Cider + Ginger Gummies are made with citrus pectin. Thus, this gummy is ideal for plant-based eaters as well as those concerned about their oral health. Pectin also provides a soft texture that is easy to bite into and contains a pleasant flavour. In contrast, gelatin is sourced from animals and provides a chewy texture which makes it more difficult to bite into and chew.2-3 - How is apple cider vinegar created?
Cider apples are first crushed up to create juice. Like in the process of making alcohol, the sugars in the apple juice turn to ethanol and then ferment into acetic acid, becoming vinegar. - Do I need to take these gummies with food?
These gummies may be taken with or without food at any time of the day.
