Hey everyone, just came across this study (PMID: 12345678) claiming apple cider vinegar gummies significantly improve insulin sensitivity and aid weight loss. The researchers used a double-blind placebo-controlled trial over 12 weeks. Sounds promising, but I'm always skeptical - anyone else dig into this? Could be funded by supplement companies looking to push products. What's the community think?

Ooh interesting! I've been taking ACV gummies for months now to help with my energy during back-to-back meetings. Honestly, I feel less afternoon slump, but who knows if it's placebo? The study sounds legit if it's double-blind. Do they mention dosage? I'm taking 2 gummies daily (500mg each). Would love to know if I should adjust. Also, any side effects noted? My stomach can be sensitive.

lol Vince always coming in with the science stuff. I'm in Bali right now and grabbed some local ACV gummies cause my digestion gets weird with travel food. They've helped, but I didn't need a study to tell me that. If it works for you, roll with it. That said, check who funded the study - if it's a big supplement brand, take it with a grain of salt. Most of this stuff is just common sense wellness.

Good points. I looked deeper - study was partially funded by a wellness institute, not a direct supplement brand, but they have industry ties. Dosage was 1500mg ACV extract daily, which is higher than most gummies offer. Zoe, you might be underdosing based on this. Also, they noted mild GI issues in 15% of participants, so watch out if you're sensitive. Rhino, I get the skepticism, but biomarkers don't lie - improved insulin sensitivity is measurable.

Thanks Vince! Super helpful. Maybe I'll try upping to 3 gummies and see if I notice a difference (and if my stomach agrees). Anyone have brand recs that are closer to that 1500mg dose without a ton of sugar? The ones I use have 3g sugar per serving which isn't terrible but adds up.
