Vitabalance is a Virginia-based natural supplements' manufacturer. They are behind some relatively popular inventions like Folexin, Nootrogen, and Anti-Anxiety Plus.
Their ACV Pure product line is probably the most popular one they've created so far and it's easy to see why.
- It's in capsule form
- It contains potent levels of the active ingredient
- It's manufactured in a cGMP accredited facility
Basically, ACV Pure is made from fermented apples. The company, however, takes an extra step to create a light brown powder out of the liquid mixture. The powder is then put inside capsules, packaged in a nice bottle and shipped to you.
Why ACV?
There are different types of vinegar out there but the Apple Cider variety is probably the most popular one among natural health enthusiasts. ACV, as it's known by many, is believed to have a wide range of health benefits - a majority of which are scientifically backed.
The three most popular ones include:
-Improving Heart Health
Heart disease is one of the leading killers nowadays ( 1) and rising levels of cholesterol are to blame.
So, if you want just to be sure that everything is okay, you might want to take a bit of ACV as studies done so far indicate that it can help lower cholesterol levels ( 2).
-Protective Effects Against Cancer & Diabetes
We don't really want to hype this up too much. But all you need to know is that some studies have linked ACV to anti-cancer and anti-diabetes effects.
Some studies have even gone to the extent of claiming that this type of vinegar has the potential to shrink tumors ( 3 and 4).
We, however, still think that a lot more studies need to be done on human beings to confirm the extent of its anti-cancer effects.
Things look a little more promising on the type-2 diabetes management front, though. ACV has been confirmed to help in lowering blood sugar. You simply need to take 2 tablespoons of it every other day and it will help you lower your risk of diabetes quite significantly.
-Burns Fat & Reduces Belly Fat
Did you know that if you take ACV alongside a high-carb meal you can comfortably cut 275 calories from your diet every day ( 5)? Studies also show that apple cider vinegar can lower blood sugar level (we've already talked about that).
This particular study showed that vinegar consumption can help reduce belly fat and that 30mL of it led to an average of 3.7 pounds weight loss ( 6).
So, although it might not work any miracles on its own, this natural health product can act as a useful weight loss aid. And it achieves that by giving you more power over your cravings and also lowering the levels of sugar in your body.
+Claim your bottle >>Why Capsules?
Capsules are good because they are easy to swallow and also provide delayed-release. In other words, when you take ACV in capsules, it's like swallowing a friendly time bomb. The contents of the capsules are released gradually ensuring that your body can absorb them optimally.
That can be of major benefit especially if you have a delicate stomach.
Also, there's no denying that ACV has a disgusting taste. I mean, there's no way you're going to make me take undiluted liquid ACV. But a capsule? Hand it over.
Apple Cider Vinegar Pure capsules are tasteless and you simply need a glass of water to drink 'em down and move on your merry way!
Dosage Details
The good news is that you don't need a medical prescription to use ACV. Plus, it has a wide margin of safety. But even with that, there are some basic guidelines that you need to stick to.
In particular, you need to take 2 capsules of the product with a meal. Alternatively, you can swallow the pills with a glass of water after a heavy meal. I prefer to take them with my breakfast meal; others like to take it with their dinner.
Each bottle contains 60 capsules and that's equivalent to a whole month's supply.
Capsules vs Liquid ACV
Although it has numerous benefits, drinking liquid ACV on its own can damage your esophagus and taste buds. Most people avoid that by masking its taste - which typically involves mixing it with something else.
Unfortunately, that can be time-consuming plus you don't want to mix it with something that actually reduces its effectiveness.
For instance, it beats logic to dilute it with honey if you have type-2 diabetes. Mixing it with water doesn't help much either.
With pills, you get to experience the many benefits of ACV without having to bother with all that. Plus we noticed that the pills used by Vitabalance are tiny and easy to swallow as well.
Apple Cider Vinegar Pure Effects
Just like other forms of ACV, you need to give this product a few days as its effects tend to build up over time. Having taken this product for a period of 7 days, we'd like to sum up how we felt on each day.
Day 1: No subtle effect sat all
Day 2: Woke up feeling more energetic
Day 3: I stopped craving chocolate and cookies (damn, that was fast)
Day 4: I started to notice that my skin tone was improving
Day 5: More energy and better mood control throughout the day
Day 6: I felt lighter and could fit better into clothes I had been struggling to fit into
Day 7: Good news, I had managed to lose some 2lbs (not too bad)
From what I observed within those 7 days, this is for sure not a miracle pill but it certainly gets stuff done. As far as weight loss is concerned, I'd recommend combining it with other weight loss products especially if you want to burn fat fast.
I would recommend combining it with Intermittent Fasting. That way, it'd do magic for you.
But you can still take it on its own with a bit of exercise for a slow but sure approach to weight management.
Customer Reviews
The product has received some overwhelmingly positive reviews and scientists seem to agree on its benefits as well. Most of the testimonials we came across agree that this product made them more energetic and improved their digestion. See more reviews.
There are also those who think that these 1300mg pills are tiny and easy to swallow. And at 1300mg, there's no denying that this package is highly potent.
How Long Should I Take It?
Although the results aren't typical, if you take 2 ACV Pure capsules only, you can expect to lose twice as much weight in 3 months. That's to say if your current weight loss program helps you lose 10lbs in 3 months, if you take ACV, you can expect to lose 10 additional pounds.
That's a scientifically confirmed fact ( 7).
So, if you want the best results, shoot for the 90-day plan. Unfortunately, 1 bottle of ACV Pure will only last you for 30-days so if you want to get enough supplies to last you throughout the 90-day period, we'd recommend ordering in bulk.
Think of it this way, if you order 4 bottles, you get 1 free (you end up saving some $30 USD). I don't know about you but I am one of those people who bargain a lot before settling for any product. Every dollar counts!
But there's still no harm in starting the journey with a single bottle especially if all you want to do is confirm if this will work for you or not.
Potential Side Effects
This natural tonic is generally safe unless taken in abnormally high doses. So, if you stick to the recommended dosage of 2 pills per day, the chances of your experiencing any negative effects are next to none.
- Nausea - its unpleasant taste might make you want to throw up
- Weaker bones - only if you take 25 times beyond the recommended dose
- Tooth decay - if taken at 23 times the recommended dose
- Throat burn - only if taken in liquid form and in high quantities
