Ingredients explained
Apple cider vinegar
Acetic acid may influence enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism and support a balanced post-meal glycaemic response.
Caution: May cause stomach discomfort in some people; discontinue if irritation occurs.
Bromelain (1000 GDU)
This proteolytic enzyme from pineapple helps break down proteins and may influence inflammatory signalling in tissues.
Caution: May increase bleeding tendency when combined with anticoagulants; stop use if unusual bruising occurs.
Vitamin B12
Acts as a cofactor for energy-yielding metabolism and red blood cell formation through methylation and mitochondrial enzyme support.
Caution: High intakes are generally well tolerated, but those with B12-sensitive acne may notice breakouts.
Folate (as 5-MTHF L-methylfolate)
Provides the bioactive methylated form of folate used in one‑carbon metabolism to support methylation and red blood cell production.
Caution: Consult a healthcare professional if taking medicines that affect folate metabolism.
Kelp
Provides natural iodine that supports normal thyroid hormone synthesis, which influences metabolic activity.
Caution: Excess iodine may affect thyroid function; avoid combining with other high‑iodine products unless advised.
How they work together
Acetic acid from apple cider vinegar focuses on carbohydrate handling, while bromelain supports tissue comfort after activity. B vitamins contribute to energy metabolism and red blood cell formation, and iodine from kelp supports thyroid hormone synthesis, together covering metabolic and recovery pathways.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medications or have any medical condition, consult your doctor before use.
Who should be cautious: People with thyroid concerns due to kelp’s iodine content. Those with pineapple or bromelain sensitivity. Individuals on blood thinners or with bleeding concerns as bromelain may affect bleeding risk. Those with shellfish or seafood allergies may need caution with kelp. People with B12 or folate-related sensitivities or on high-dose biotin lab testing should discuss with a healthcare provider. As this product contains kelp (iodine), discuss with a healthcare provider before combining with medications that may interact.
