Apple Cider Vinegar 500 mg
This Sports Research product is a botanical supplement primarily featuring Apple Cider Vinegar Powder at 500 mg per serving, alongside 20 mg of Cayenne Pepper. While Apple Cider Vinegar is commonly used for various wellness goals, the 500 mg dosage is considerably lower than the amounts typically explored in research for potential benefits, which often range from 750 mg to 30 mL (equivalent to 750-30,000 mg). Consequently, both listed ingredients are underdosed relative to clinical research. The product received an N+ Score of 46, earning an 'F' grade, indicating a below-average formulation with limited ingredient adequacy. With only two ingredients and full label transparency, this product may appeal to individuals seeking a low-dose Apple Cider Vinegar option, though its efficacy at this dosage is not strongly supported by current research.
