What are the benefits of organic pumpkin, apple cider vinegar, and cinnamon? The presence of apple cider vinegar lowers the pH of the formula and can be very helpful in lowering the glycemic index. Slightly acidic foods offer better glycemic control and can also improve protein digestion and metabolism. Pumpkin is an exceptionally great source of carotenoids that can be used by the body as a form of vitamin A. Additionally, pumpkin is rich in potassium and vegetable fiber. This type of fiber is most beneficial to gut health. The formula was designed to provide both maximum nourishment and a high level of antioxidants. Cinnamon offers Liquid Hope Peptide Berry Medley additional polyphenols that have significant antioxidant value and it tastes great when combined with the other ingredients.
