What Is Apple Cider Vinegar?
Apple Cider Vinegar, or ACV as it is commonly referred to, is simply fermented apple juice. It is made by crushing apples to release their juice before yeast is added to ferment the natural sugar from the apples and break them down into alcohol. The second part of the process is to add acetic acid bacteria which converts the alcohol to acetic acid.
The longer fermentation period of Apple Cider Vinegar allows for the accumulation of yeast and acetic acid bacteria, known as ‘The Mother’. This is the part of the mixture that gives ACV its distinctive tart flavour and odour and is most often credited as the source of the many health benefits associated with Apple Cider Vinegar.
When the production of Apple Cider Vinegar is complete, it’s full of health boosting nutrients, vitamins and minerals, including magnesium, iron, phosphorus, manganese, amino acids and antioxidants which all add up to a whole load of healthy goodness that we will now cover in more detail.

The Benefits Of Apple Cider Vinegar Explained
Apple Cider Vinegar not only offers plenty of health benefits, but it has a variety of uses. From medicinal, to food dressings, it is one versatile ingredient, so let's run through the main benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar one by one.
Apple Cider Vinegar Can Help To Improve Digestion
Proper digestion is important for our overall health and wellbeing but what does Apple Cider Vinegar have to do with it? Apple Cider Vinegar can help to improve digestion due to the useful probiotics found in ‘The Mother’ - the powerful ingredient at the heart of ACV.
The probiotics found in ACV’s powerful ingredient called ‘The Mother’ include healthy bacteria which can help to keep our digestive system working efficiently. These good bacteria keep bad bacteria at bay to maintain a healthy, balanced stomach environment and prevent us from getting sick by neutralising stomach acid and fighting harmful bacteria. The result is that Apple Cider Vinegar can aid conditions such as heartburn, bloating and overall digestive health.
The enzymes in ACV are essential for breaking down foods so that your body can make use of all the lovely nutrients that you consume. Adding ACV to your diet is a great way to top up these useful enzymes, because although they are found in many raw foods, they are often destroyed in the cooking process.
Adding Apple Cider Vinegar to your diet in a convenient way, like taking a couple of Goli Gummy supplements several times a day, is a great way to top up these helpful enzymes that you might otherwise be missing.
If you experience regular digestive issues or pain during or after eating, this could be a sign of a serious health condition, so always consult your doctor in the first instance before attempting any natural remedies.

Apple Cider Vinegar Can Support Healthy Weight Management
Studies have shown that Apple Cider Vinegar can help to support healthy weight management, but how does this work?
Most of us are guilty of reaching for a snack here and a nibble there throughout the day. Sometimes this is out of boredom and sometimes it is because we are generally hungry. Whatever the reason, it is human nature to go for convenience. So rather than reaching for a healthy snack that will keep you full for longer, it’s often something a bit less healthy that gets consumed. Cake and biscuits for elevenses anyone?
To combat these potentially weight gain causing snack attacks and mid-afternoon munchies, you can try incorporating foods that boost feelings of satiety (how full you feel). This is a great way to keep your weight on track with a healthy diet and is also where Apple Cider Vinegar comes in, as consuming Apple Cider Vinegar will help you to feel fuller for longer.
The next time you feel hungry between meals, try grabbing a Goli Gummy - a sweet tasting gummy that boasts the satiety benefit of Apple Cider Vinegar, without the vinegary taste. With only 15 calories a gummy, it is a great way to keep your healthy eating plan going and stay feeling fuller for longer.
Apple Cider Vinegar works to help you feel fuller for longer by stabilising blood sugar levels. The acetic acid found in ACV increases insulin sensitivity to ensure a slow steady release of sugar into the bloodstream - great for preventing sugar highs and lows that lead us reaching for the snack box. Stable blood sugar levels help the body to feel full, which over time can help you to maintain or lose weight depending on your goals.
------------
Apple Cider Vinegar Can Help To Reduce Appetite
As discussed above, the acetic acid found in ACV helps to reduce appetite and increase the feeling of fullness. When you’re feeling full, you’re much less likely to want to keep eating, so your appetite is reduced. You can avoid the dreaded 3pm slump or mid-morning hunger pangs by enjoying the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar in the convenient form of Goli Gummies, to ensure your appetite is suppressed until dinner time.
------------
Apple Cider Vinegar Can Support A Healthy Immune System
Do you regularly feel under the weather and constantly feel like you are fighting off colds? A healthy immune system is key to helping our bodies fight off infections and bugs, but how does Apple Cider Vinegar help this?
The helpful probiotics found in Apple Cider Vinegar could be just what you need to help boost your immune system, help you to ward off infections, or recover quicker if you do get struck down.
Prebiotics are essential for good gut health and, as the gut provides important support for your immune system, by enhancing the good gut bacteria with the Pectin and probiotics found in ACV, you’re also supporting a healthy immune system.

Apple Cider Vinegar Can Support A Healthy Heart
It is fair to say that the heart is a pretty important organ when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle. This vital organ is responsible for pumping blood around your body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to every cell in your body and removing waste products, but how does Apple Cider Vinegar help these essential heart processes along?
Apple Cider Vinegar supports a healthy heart and cardiovascular system by working to help maintain good cholesterol levels and controlling the hormones responsible for blood pressure levels. See the studies and science here.
ACV helps to control renin (a hormone that is produced by your kidneys and is responsible for constricting and dilating blood vessels). During normal bodily functions, blood pressure rises when blood vessels constrict.
By consuming Apple Cider Vinegar, the levels of blood vessel contraction are reduced, meaning blood pressure doesn’t rise. In regards to Apple Cider Vinegar’s effect on Cholesterol, studies have shown it can reduce the bad cholesterol in your blood and increase the good cholesterol with its natural antioxidants.

Apple Cider Vinegar Can Boost Energy Levels
Who hasn’t felt exhausted and in need of an energy boost from time to time? If you’re looking for ways to keep your energy levels stable, then Apple Cider Vinegar may be able to help you.
The amino acids found in Apple Cider Vinegar, along with the potassium and vital enzymes, may help relieve fatigue, especially when exercising. In addition, Apple Cider Vinegar helps support a healthy gut, which in turn contributes to the regulation of the body’s energy. The result is more energy available to hit the gym or just stay awake longer to enjoy your favourite film before bed - bonus!
When consuming Apple Cider Vinegar in convenient forms such as Goli Gummies, you can enjoy even more energy boosting properties from the additional Vitamin B12 that is included. As Vitamin B12 is used in many essential processes in the body, including energy production, you may experience an increase in energy and reduction in fatigue when taking Goli Gummies, for those who are deficient in this vital nutrient. See the studies and science here.

Apple Cider Vinegar Is Versatile
One of the biggest benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar is its versatility. ACV can be used for boosting many body functions and processes along, as well as being able to be adapted to suit lots of other functions too. From being used as a preservative, food dressing, flavouring, bacteria control, treatment for all manner of skin conditions and illnesses - it’s a pretty all-round awesome ingredient.
Historically, Apple Cider Vinegar was used to prevent infection due to its ability to kill or inhibit bacteria easily. In fact, due to these properties, Hippocrates (460-377 BC), often referred to as the father of modern medicine, recommended its properties for cleaning, disinfecting wounds and treating fungus back in the days before modern medicine.

Further Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar
If we haven’t given you enough benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar already, we have a few more up our sleeve. As well as the impressive list of health benefits above, this super ingredient has also been shown to provide hair, skin and nail boosting properties too.
ACV and Hair
Sadly, we are not all blessed with luscious locks, but the good news is that Apple Cider Vinegar may be able to give your natural hair a boost thanks to that wonderful ingredient, ‘The Mother’.
The acetic acid in ‘The Mother’ is thought to help lower the PH of our hair to combat dry frizziness and may also help to control the bacteria that can lead to an itchy scalp and cause dandruff.
------------
ACV, Skin and Nails
The natural antibacterial and antifungal properties found in ACV have some brilliant benefits for our skin. Apple Cider Vinegar can be used as a natural treatment for skin and nails as it works to help balance PH levels to ensure smooth and soft skin and improve the appearance of blemishes, such as scars.
If you suffer from acne, you may be interested to hear that the bacteria found in the excess oils in our pores, that cause acne, is killed by the acetic, citric, lactic and succinic acid found in Apple Cider Vinegar. Find out more about ACV and its effects on acne in our article here.
As a result, if you incorporate Apple Cider Vinegar into your diet, you are reducing the amount of bacteria in the pores that can lead to poor skin health, and can rely on the naturally occurring acids in ACV to improve the texture, pigmentation and appearance of the skin - something that I’m sure most of us would enjoy.

Medical Conditions That May Benefit From ACV
Apple Cider Vinegar Can Help Diabetics
Diabetes is a medical condition related to the regulation of sugar in blood and one that causes blood sugar levels to become too high. Apple Cider Vinegar might help lower blood sugar levels in people with diabetes, by changing how foods get absorbed from the gut and preventing the breakdown of certain foods into sugars that are released into the bloodstream.
Diabetes needs careful management, so you should always seek advice from a doctor before taking natural blood sugar regulators like ACV. If you are already on medication to manage your diabetes, combining this with ACV may cause your blood sugar levels to drop too far, so always consult a doctor first and monitor blood sugar levels closely to prevent it from dropping too low.
If you feel very thirsty, very tired, or suffer from blurred vision or any other classic symptoms of Diabetes, see a doctor as soon as you can.
How Does Apple Cider Vinegar Provide So Many Benefits?
The secret to most of the benefits attributed to Apple Cider Vinegar is found in the ‘The Mother’ - a health boosting natural protein, healthy bacteria and acetic acid that is found in ACV.
If you have a jar of Apple Cider Vinegar at home, the cloudy substance that you can see within it is ‘The Mother’. If your bottle of ACV looks crystal clear, then it’s been filtered and pasteurised to remove ‘The Mother’ and most of its nutrients. The bacteria known as ‘The Mother’, gets its name because it is the catalyst that creates (or gives life to) the vinegar itself.
To enjoy all the benefits associated with ‘The Mother’ without having to endure the somewhat unpleasant taste of raw Apple Cider Vinegar, you can simply stock up on Goli Gummies! As you do not need much of this super ingredient to make a difference, 1-2 Goli Gummies a few times a day are an easy, nutritious and delicious way for everyone to incorporate ‘The Mother’ into their daily routine.
