From drinking vinegar and old-fashioned shrubs to apple cider vinegar shots, consumers are becoming increasingly interested in vinegar-based beverages for the health benefits that they offer, particularly for the digestive system. To introduce apple cider vinegar drinks to consumers in the UK, Lost Coast combines ACV with various juices.
The all-natural, low-sugar drinks are offered in flavors like 'Blueberry, Elderberry & Lemon,' 'Mango Turmeric & Ginger' and 'Strawberry, Hibiscus & Rose,' which balance out the naturally tart and acidic taste of apple cider vinegar.
The vegan-friendly drinks are sweetened with agave nectar and have been shown to lower blood sugar and fight diabetes, according to the brand. The vinegar-based beverages are also said to be popular for weight loss, as they promote satiety by boosting the gut's levels of acetate.
