DietWorks Cider Trim Apple Cider Vinegar Capsules – 120 Count

Six-dimension breakdown

Why this scored 41/100

DietWorks Cider Trim combines apple cider vinegar with green tea, garcinia cambogia, green coffee extract, cayenne, and ginger in a multi-ingredient capsule marketed for weight support. Three failures compound to push this below 45. (1) 'Cider Trim' branding and the multi-ingredient thermogenic blend positioning invokes weight-loss benefit; the underlying evidence for these ingredients (garcinia hydroxycitric acid, green coffee chlorogenic acid, cayenne capsaicin) is either negative or weakly positive at doses higher than a shared capsule can practically deliver — a 2020 Cochrane review on garcinia (Onakpoya) concluded 'clinically relevant weight-loss effect cannot be confirmed.' (2) Per-ingredient milligrams for the six actives are not disclosed in the description reviewed, tripping the proprietary-blend concern. (3) Green tea extract at unspecified concentration has documented hepatotoxicity signals at high doses (FDA warned in 2022 on EGCG-heavy supplements). Rejected on evidence + disclosure gaps + safety flag on green tea extract.

Evidence & sources

The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.

Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.

How to read the Evidence dimension

• 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
• 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
• 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
• 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
• 0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.
