Apple Cider Vinegar: Is the Trend Here to Stay? 

It seems as if apple cider vinegar — affectionately referred to as ACV — is everywhere these days. But there’s good, science-backed reasons for it being so omnipresent.

We took a closer look at this fan-favorite, tangy ingredient to discover why it’s such a mainstay in daily wellness routines — and how you can start adding it to your own regimen to start reaping its impressive health benefits. (Spoiler: It involves Bulletproof Apple Cider Vinegar Max Gummies.)

Why Is Apple Cider Vinegar So Popular?

A quick search on “apple cider vinegar” garners countless results on TikTok; related videos tout a total of 397.7 million views, cementing its popular status on the social media app. Despite it being content gold for influencers, apple cider vinegar has been at the center of the wellness conversation for decades.

Made from crushed apples, yeast, and sugar, apple cider vinegar is essentially fermented apple juice. It’s long been viewed as a way to curb cravings and maintain a healthy body weight. Some studies may support this, with one 2018 study^[1] concluding that ACV may reduce oxidative stress and the risk of obesity, as seen in their test group of high-fat-fed male wistar rats. The advent of social media merely gave the ingredient and its coveted health benefits a platform.

Ways to Take Apple Cider Vinegar

There are many forms of apple cider vinegar — the most well-known of the offerings is its purest liquid form. Since apple cider vinegar on its own is considered an acid due to its pH level of about 2 to 3, diluting your ACV with water prior to consumption is highly recommended.

While some prefer to stir a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar into a glass of water and drink this concoction every morning, others prefer to incorporate it in their meals. Prefer the latter? Try an apple cider vinegar salad vinaigrette by simply mixing ACV with olive oil and salt.

There are also ready-to-drink apple cider vinegar products (both of the sparkling and non-sparkling variety) for on-the-go usage, but these may be packed with sugar, thus potentially minimizing the efficacy of their known benefits. (More on that later.)

Not only are these gummies easy to take, but they also help preserve lean body mass, curb cravings, and support your metabolism.† This is due to the addition of two functional ingredients: Brain Octane Oil, which supports fat burning,† and Chromium Picolinate, which helps reduce body fat, control cravings, and improve lean body mass.†
