Horbäach Apple Cider Vinegar Capsules – 2,400 mg, 150 Count

Horbäach Apple Cider Vinegar Capsules – 2,400 mg, 150 Count is a product from Apple Cider Vinegar, categorized under Weight management & metabolic health in the Supplements vertical. It is scored on the Vyvata Scoring Framework — an independent 6-dimension rubric applied uniformly to every product Vyvata lists.

52/100 overall — Rejected tier (0–49 band). Per-dimension breakdown: Safety 62, Manufacturing 58, Transparency 55, Sustainability 50, Formulation 48, Evidence 42. Scored as of 2026-08-24.

Higher-dose ACV capsule (2,400 mg per serving) from Horbäach, a budget mass-market house brand. Capsule format is a step above gummies — no sugar-alcohol GI load and a cleaner acetic acid delivery — but still misses the Johnston 2004 mechanism, which depends on oral acid contact plus liquid volume slowing gastric emptying; a capsule bypasses both by design. No mother mentioned in the title, no organic sourcing, no third-party testing disclosed, and Horbäach's overall manufacturing reputation is functional rather than premium. Would move to Standard 55-58 with 'with the Mother' + acetic acid percentage disclosure; only a liquid reformulation would legitimately reach Verified.

Strongest: Safety at 62/100 (adverse-event profile, interaction risk, and dose ceiling) and Manufacturing at 58/100 (third-party testing, GMP compliance, and facility audit status). Weakest: Formulation at 48/100 (dose adequacy, bioavailability form, and ingredient redundancy) and Evidence at 42/100 (quality of published RCT support for the active ingredients at the label dose). All six dimensions feed the overall Vyvata score; a weakness on any one dimension pulls the overall down proportionally.

No third-party certifications (NSF, USP, ConsumerLab, or equivalent) were on record at the time of scoring. This affects the Manufacturing dimension score. The manufacturer may test internally or have obtained certification more recently — check the current product label for the most up-to-date information.

Would move to Standard 55-58 with 'with the Mother' + acetic acid percentage disclosure; only a liquid reformulation would legitimately reach Verified.
