Advertiser Disclosure
If you're on a diet with the goal of managing your weight, you know how hard it can be to not "cheat." Most people break their diets before they reach their goals, and the culprit is usually mid-afternoon snacking.
However, you can help stave off cravings and stick to your health goals with the help of a high-quality appetite suppressant.
Though not widely known, the best appetite suppressants are typically made from apple cider vinegar, which can help curb cravings in between meals.
But with so many options on the market, it's important to be cautious when choosing the one that's right for you. After all, a lot of brands skimp out on quality ingredients or flat out don't work.
That's why we compiled months of research about appetite suppressants and narrowed them down to the top 5.
How ACV Supports A Balanced Appetite
- Diminishes cravings
- Promotes the feeling of fullness
- Supports healthy metabolism
- Helps with smooth digestion
- Maintains healthy muscle to fat ratio
Obviously, not everyone likes the flavor of apple cider vinegar which is why many prefer the taste and convenience of ACV gummies.
The most potent ACV gummies are made with the "mother" which contains acetic acid — a healthy bacteria that helps promote fullness and keep cravings at bay.
ACV Gummies VS. Traditional ACV
- Gummies taste and smell better than traditional ACV
- Gummies are easier to take
- Gummies are infused with superfoods
- Gummies are enriched with B-vitamins
- Gummies are safer for your tooth enamel
Ingredients To Look For In An Appetite Suppressant
ACV From The "Mother"
The " Mother" contains all of the vinegar's beneficial ingredients. Acetic acid promote satiety and can help curb cravings.
Vitamin B12
B12's main role is to help your body create red blood cells to prevent you from becoming B12 anemic but it also helps support metabolism.
What To Avoid
Stimulants
Caffeine and other stronger substances can usually be found in appetite suppressants, however, they do carry a high risk of dependence with potential for abuse. Short-term effects may include increased blood pressure and heart rate, flushed skin, dizziness, and dry mouth.
Too Much Sugar
While sugar can help mask the ACV's bitter taste, having too much of it in a gummy may sabotage weight management efforts because eating sugar makes you crave more of it. We recommend choosing an appetite suppressant with 1g of sugar or less.
Gelatin
A gelling agent derived from pig skin, gelatin can cause bloating, upset stomach, and burping in some people. Instead, we recommend you look for a product that includes the ingredient pectin for its high fiber content.
Your Appetite Suppressant Checklist
Now that you know what ingredients to look for and what to avoid, it’s also important to keep these additional tips in mind.
Recommended Doses
Some brands will use quality ingredients, but skimp out on the dose in order to save money. So even if you’re getting the right ingredients, if they’re not in their recommended doses, you won’t experience the full benefits. Look for at least 500 mg of apple cider vinegar.
Money-Back Guarantee
It’s always a good idea to invest in a supplement that offers a 100% money-back guarantee that shows the company's faith in its product. Look for brands that offer at least a 90-day money-back guarantee.

The general consensus among users is that these gummies are effective but have a poor aftertaste. They also come in a 2-pack, giving you a 60-day supply.

PROS
- Decent ingredients
- Name-brand recognition
1 g of sugar
CONS
- 30-day return policy
- Missing B6 & Iodine
The Bottom Line
Goli formulated its product with 500 mg of mother-derived apple cider vinegar powder, plus 320 mcg of B9 Folic and 1.2 mcg of B12. They fall just shy of being great, however, because they don't include B6 and Iodine — 2 of the building blocks required to deliver the most effective results.
We did like that they included only 1 g of sugar and Beet & Pomegranate juice.
Beyond that, Goli only has a 30-Day return policy, so it may be difficult to try their products completely risk-free.
For all these reasons, Goli's Apple Cider Gummies fall to #3 on our list.

The Bottom Line
WellPath included 500 mg of mother-derived apple cider vinegar in their gummies. They also included 2 mg of Ginger extract to assist with burning fat.
But we had to knock it down in the rankings because it's missing several key ingredients and contains a whopping 5g of sugar.
It should be noted that they only have a 30-day return policy, but feedback indicated that most customers were satisfied with their purchase.

The Bottom Line
BeLive only included 400 mg of mother-derived apple cider vinegar, but it made our list because it was made completely without sugar.
It does raise some questions with one of the ingredients being "Natural Strawberry Flavor."
Potential customers should also take into consideration that BeLive has no return policy listed on their website, and returns fall on Amazon's return policy which tends to fluctuate but is normally 30 days.
