Pros and cons
Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies
- Pleasant apple taste, far easier than drinking vinegar
- Vegan, gelatin-free and gluten-free, made in a cGMP-certified U.S. facility
- The label lists 500 mg of ACV and 1.2 mcg of B12 per gummy
- Inexpensive per bottle, at about $15 for 60
- Weight-loss evidence for ACV is modest and comes from liquid vinegar; acetic acid content isn't disclosed
- 2 g of added sugar per gummy, or up to 12 g a day at the maximum dose
- A 60-count bottle lasts only 10 days at the full suggested dose
- No third-party testing certification
Hardcore
- The caffeine dose (265 mg per serving) is clearly stated
- A noticeable energy boost for training
- Inexpensive per bottle and widely available
- Up to 530 mg of caffeine a day at the label dose, above the FDA's 400 mg benchmark
- Green coffee extract evidence is limited to small, high-risk-of-bias trials
- Hydroxycut products were withdrawn in 2009 over liver injury, and case reports continue (NIH LiverTox)
- Three proprietary blends, in a gelatin capsule with artificial dyes
Our verdicts
Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies
Goli made apple cider vinegar easy and tasty to take, but there's little reason to expect meaningful weight change from these gummies. The vinegar trials used liquid doses, Goli doesn't disclose its acetic acid content, and the sugar adds up at the suggested intake. Buy them if you enjoy them as a B12 gummy, not as a weight-loss tool.

Hardcore
Hydroxycut Hardcore is essentially a high-dose caffeine pill with yohimbine and a weakly supported green coffee extract. Any extra weight loss is likely modest and depends on diet and exercise, while the stimulant load and the brand's liver-injury history are real concerns. We don't recommend it; if you want caffeine for training, a measured cup of coffee is cheaper and easier to control.
