It turns out that absolutely nothing can make ACV palatable.
Apple cider vinegar is supposed to be this amazing remedy for a whole host of health issues. Just one tiny thing: it tastes and smells absolutely vile. For years, people have managed to stomach the gag-inducing ACV for all of its promised benefits: better skin, better hair, better digestion, and so on. But it turns out that we may not have to suffer anymore, thanks to Goli ACV gummies, the first of its kind to introduce ACV in tasty gummy form.
Does it really mask the taste? We experimented with Goli gummies for a week to see what’s up.
First, what does apple cider vinegar do?
Apple cider vinegar, like most vinegars, is high in acetic acid, which helps to break down the irons and proteins in your food. Supposedly, a spoonful of ACV after a meal is supposed to aid digestion, keep insulin levels low, and promote speedy metabolism.
There’s huge division among health professionals and scientists on whether or not ACV actually does any of this, though, so don’t shoot the messenger. Some people say that it cured their GERD, and some people say that it made their GERD worse, so clearly, your mileage may vary.
I’ve only ever added ACV to smoothies, but even then, the vinegar scent is so overpowering that I basically chicken out and have never stuck to an ACV regiment for any meaningful length of time — certainly not enough to show any results.
Until now.
On to the review:
First of all, these gummies are insanely expensive. $30 for a pack of 60, and you’re meant to take four a day.
And to be blunt… the gummies don’t taste great. They’re very gelatinous, colorless, and flavorless, which is okay, considering that I don’t take vitamins for them to taste good. What I’m not crazy about is the sugar content — 12 grams per 10 gummies — because refined sugar will kill off healthy gut bacteria, ergo killing off any benefit of the ACV gummies.
I’ve been taking Goli gummies for three weeks and here’s what I’ve found.
I’ve heard that people take the Goli gummies right after a meal to help sate their sugar cravings and aid their digestion. I can tell you definitively that the Goli gummies did not sate my sugar cravings or aid my digestion.
They didn’t really do much of anything except make me feel good about the fact that I’m getting some acetic acid and magnesium in my diet. Is that worth the overpriced gummies? Heck no. Magnesium supplements are cheap as heck and do a lot more than Goli gummies.
It also didn’t do anything for my complexion or my circulation issues.
Also worth pointing out Goli gummies have no “mother” in them — the combination of yeast and bacteria that comes from fermentation. You know, the healthy enzymes that give ACV its mythical status in the health world. NONE. It’s a sugary placebo and I wish I’d spent the $30 on Amazon leggings, or boxes La Croix, or literally anything else.
