Most people who try liquid apple cider vinegar stop within a fortnight — the taste and the acidity make a daily habit hard to keep. An Apple a Day delivers 400mg of apple cider vinegar powder per capsule — no acidity, no taste — alongside green tea, cayenne, ginger, turmeric and chromium, the one ingredient here carrying EU-authorised health claims.
Why Capsules Rather Than Liquid
Liquid apple cider vinegar is acidic, sitting at a pH of roughly 2 to 3, with a sharp taste many people find hard to tolerate neat and inconvenient to dilute several times a day. The powdered form in a capsule has neither the taste nor the acidity, which makes a daily routine realistic rather than aspirational.
The formula is also more than apple cider vinegar alone: green tea leaf, cayenne pepper, ginger root, turmeric root and organic black pepper are included alongside it, with chromium picolinate as the nutrient carrying authorised claims.
How Other UK ACV Supplements Compare
Holland & Barrett ACV capsules — single ingredient. Plain apple cider vinegar capsules with no botanical complex and no chromium, and no halal approval.
Goli ACV gummies — popular, but gummies. Heavily marketed and pleasant to take, but the gummy format limits active dose per serving, they contain added sugars, and they carry no halal approval.
Bragg liquid ACV — the classic, with the classic drawbacks. The reference product for ACV with the mother, but liquid means acidity and taste, and there is no chromium or botanical content.

Is This You?
- You want apple cider vinegar without the taste or acidity of drinking it
- You want the botanical blend too — green tea, cayenne, ginger and turmeric — rather than ACV alone
- You want a regulator-approved claim behind the product: chromium for macronutrient metabolism and normal blood glucose
- You need halal approved ACV — H&B, Goli and Bragg carry none
- You'd rather know the exact dose of every ingredient than trust a proprietary blend

Questions We Get Asked
Is this easier than drinking liquid apple cider vinegar?
For most people, yes. Liquid apple cider vinegar sits at a pH of roughly 2 to 3 and has a sharp taste that is hard to tolerate neat and inconvenient to dilute two or three times a day. The powdered form in these capsules has no taste and no acidity — which is usually the difference between taking it for a fortnight and taking it for a year.
What does the chromium actually do?
Chromium is the only ingredient in this formula with EU-authorised health claims behind it: it contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism and to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. Each capsule provides 10µg, which is 25% of the Nutrient Reference Value. Apple cider vinegar and the five botanicals carry no authorised claims of their own, so we name them and give you the dose rather than telling you what they do.
Will the cayenne upset my stomach?
At 25mg equivalent per capsule the cayenne extract is a modest dose, and most people take it without issue — particularly with food. If you have a sensitive stomach, reflux or a known intolerance to spicy foods, start with one capsule a day with a meal and see how you get on before increasing.
Where does the apple cider vinegar come from?
The apple cider vinegar does not originate from the UK — the supplier states this openly. The product is manufactured and packed in the United Kingdom.
