Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a type of vinegar made from fermented apple juice. It has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for a variety of ailments. Some people believe that it has health benefits, although these have not been extensively researched or proven.

Here are a few potential health benefits of apple cider vinegar:

1. Weight loss: some people believe that apple cider vinegar can help with weight loss. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support this claim.
2. Lowering blood sugar levels: apple cider vinegar may help lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. However, more research is needed to confirm this.
3. Reducing cholesterol levels: there is some evidence that apple cider vinegar may help reduce cholesterol levels.
4. Improving symptoms of diabetes: some people with diabetes use apple cider vinegar to help improve their symptoms. However, more research is needed to confirm this.
5. Reducing the risk of heart disease: some people believe that apple cider vinegar may help reduce the risk of heart disease. However, more research is needed to confirm this.

It is important to note that the above health benefits of apple cider vinegar are not proven and more research is needed to confirm them. As with any natural remedy, it is always a good idea to speak with a healthcare professional before adding it to your diet.

2. Add the apple cider vinegar and whisk to combine.
3. Add the gelatin and whisk until fully dissolved.
4. Add the honey, if using, and whisk to combine.
5. Pour the mixture into a silicone gummy mold or a small glass dish lined with parchment paper.
