Apple cider vinegar has long been celebrated for its natural benefits - from supporting gut health to balancing digestion and metabolism. But with the rise of ACV gummies, many people are wondering: is a sweet chewable really the same as the liquid? Let’s take a closer look.
What Are ACV Gummies?
Apple cider vinegar gummies are flavoured, chewable supplements that claim to offer the same benefits as traditional ACV. They’re often made with pectin, sugar, colourings, flavourings and a small amount of vinegar extract.
While they might be convenient, gummies often contain added sugars or sweeteners, which can undermine some of ACV’s natural health benefits. Some brands also include artificial colours - and studies have linked these to behavioural effects in sensitive individuals, particularly children.
Because they taste good, gummies are also easy to overconsume. This can lead to excessive intake of fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E and K - which the body stores rather than flushes out.
Why Liquid Apple Cider Vinegar Wins
Willy’s Organic Live Apple Cider Vinegar is raw, unfiltered and packed with live cultures - known as the Mother. These living enzymes and beneficial bacteria are what make ACV a true functional food, supporting gut health, immunity and natural energy balance.
Liquid ACV also contains the full spectrum of natural acids and nutrients found in fermented apples - something that’s often lost when ACV is processed into gummy form.
At Willy’s, we’ve made it easy to enjoy ACV in its purest form. Alongside our Original, we’ve created naturally flavoured options like Eureka Turmeric and Fire Cider - perfect for diluting with water, adding to smoothies or mixing into salad dressings.
We also offer pre-diluted ACV shots and dosing bottles in Beetroot, Turmeric and Apple & Ginger flavours - quick, easy, and ready to take on the go.
Simple Ways to Take ACV Daily
- Dilute 15–25ml of Willy’s ACV in warm water before meals.
- Add a splash to smoothies, soups or salad dressings.
- Try our pre-dosed shots for a quick wellness boost.
Skip the sugar - and let the live Mother do the work.
