Goli Zero Sugar ACV+ Gummies review: 1,000 mg of vinegar, 5% acetic acid, no sugar

Goli Zero Sugar ACV+ Gummies reviewed the way we review everything: we read the label, do the arithmetic and tell you who it fits. Amounts below come from the Supplement Facts panel on Goli’s own page for the product.

What is in it

Apple cider vinegar (5% acetic acid), SNZ TriBac probiotic blend (Bacillus coagulans SNZ 1969, Bacillus clausii SNZ 1971, Bacillus subtilis SNZ 1972) and vitamin B12 as cyanocobalamin. Other ingredients: soluble tapioca fiber, fructooligosaccharides, water, pectin, natural flavors, citric acid, sodium citrate, malic acid, fruit and vegetable juice for color, stevia extract, beet root powder and pomegranate powder.

The vinegar, with the number most labels leave out

Research on vinegar measured acetic acid. Trials typically used 15 mL to 30 mL of liquid vinegar a day, which is about 750 mg to 1,500 mg of acetic acid. Most gummy labels list a weight of vinegar powder and stop there.

This label goes further and states the strength: 5% acetic acid. That lets you do the arithmetic. One serving provides 50 mg, so it would take about fifteen servings to equal one tablespoon of vinegar. Being told that is better than not being told, and it is the reason to judge this gummy on its other ingredients as well.

The probiotic blend

SNZ TriBac is a blend of three spore-forming Bacillus strains, each named with its strain code. A 2019 placebo-controlled trial in 60 adults with digestive discomfort reported better scores for bloating, belching and overall symptoms after 30 days with the blend than with placebo. That is one small trial.

The panel gives the blend as 8 mg and does not state a live cell count, so we cannot tell how the amount compares with the trial. Statements about bloating on the bottle are Goli’s.

What replaces the sugar

The gummy is built on soluble tapioca fiber and fructooligosaccharides and sweetened with stevia. Goli states that it contains no sugar alcohols. The result is 3 g of fiber per serving and 10 calories.

Fructooligosaccharides are a prebiotic fiber. In some people they cause gas, especially at first, which is worth knowing in a product sold for bloating. Start with one serving and see how you respond.

The vitamin B12

Two gummies supply 2.4 mcg, the full Daily Value. As with the original Goli vinegar gummy, the energy metabolism wording on the label rests on the B12.

What we did not test

This is a label review. We did not taste the gummies or send them to a lab, and we have no data on how they hold up in heat. Flavor descriptions and benefit claims on this page are the brand’s. If we test anything later, this page will say so, with the date.

Bottom line

If you want an apple cider vinegar gummy without sugar, with a full day of B12 and a named probiotic blend, the label is unusually open about what is inside.

The verdict is “depends” because the vinegar itself supplies a small fraction of the acetic acid used in studies. It suits someone who wants the B12, the fiber and the convenience. It does not replace liquid vinegar if the vinegar is your reason for buying.
