Bragg True Energy Apple Cider Vinegar supplements

Bragg Live Food Products recently introduced Bragg True Energy Apple Cider Vinegar supplements, offering a daily dose of energy without caffeine. Made with Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar plus six essential B vitamins, each capsule supports a steady flow of energy at the cellular level. 

According to the company, the ACV formula contains 750 mg of acetic acid per dose, the same amount in one tablespoon of liquid ACV, and is the clinically proven amount to deliver powerful health benefits. Acetic acid helps reduce the absorption of carbohydrates, which in turn reduces blood sugar spikes. It also causes the body to burn more fat as fuel.

The supplements can be found at bragg.com​.

The people behind Oatly and FIJI Water joined forces to introduce Good Idea, which officially launched in the US market.
