London entrepreneur highlights little-known symptoms of sugar spikes

A sudden increase in blood sugar (glucose) levels can leave people experiencing low mood, brain fog, cravings and tiredness, yet millions of people are unaware of the consequences of having imbalanced blood sugar levels.

Salka Lavinia Rayne - founder of Apeal World ACV drinks - is urging people to pay more attention to their sugar consumption, and take steps to manage their blood sugar levels, to improve their wellbeing.

With the global shift towards healthier lifestyles and mindful consumption, Apeal World is leading the charge with its no sugars Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) drinks. Crafted for those seeking natural health benefits, balanced blood sugar levels, and an alcohol-free alternative, Apeal World’s innovative range is gaining momentum worldwide.

Apple Cider Vinegar has been widely studied for its role in blood sugar regulation, gut health, and appetite control.

Additionally, acetic acid, the active ingredient in ACV, has been shown to slow carbohydrate absorption, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce blood sugar spikes, making it an important dietary addition for those conscious of metabolic health. In addition, other ACV ingredients have shown promise in balancing blood sugar levels including lemon, cloves, cinnamon and ginger.

The ACV ingredients are also a powerful ally for gut health. ACV is naturally rich in acetic acid and probiotics, which help promote a balanced gut microbiome, aid digestion, and support overall gut function.

Studies suggest that acetic acid can enhance the growth of beneficial bacteria while reducing harmful pathogens, leading to improved digestion, reduced bloating, and better nutrient absorption. The presence of organic extracts like ginger, cinnamon, and lemon further supports gut health by reducing inflammation and stimulating digestive enzymes.

Research published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition also found that ACV consumption increases satiety, helping individuals eat fewer calories throughout the day.

Founder Salka Lavinia Rayne has shared her personal journey of balancing glucose levels to overcome low moods, chronic fatigue and cravings, which inspired her to develop a delicious, easy-to-drink ACV solution. She has combined her passion for organic living with scientific insights into glucose regulation.

What started as kitchen experiments soon turned into a full-scale wellness brand, thanks to her commitment to sourcing the finest organic ingredients and collaborating with The Soil Association to ensure sustainability and purity. Today, Apeal World is recognized for its commitment to health, great taste, and eco-friendly production.

Salka said: “With more than 4.3 million people in the UK living with diabetes and obesity rates rising at an alarming rate, there is an urgent need for functional beverages that support overall well-being.

“Many people don’t realise that the symptoms they might experience at times during a day – including low mood or tiredness - could be related to their blood sugar levels. I had no idea of the impact of fluctuating blood sugar levels until I started learning more about glucose regulation and wellness more widely.

“So I created Apeal World ACV to give myself, and others, another option when it comes to having a tasty, non-alcoholic, healthy drink that helps regulate blood sugar levels and it’s wonderful to see how many people have embraced the drinks as part of a commitment to their wellbeing. Health shouldn’t be boring.’’

Apeal World ACV is a London Fashion Week sponsor and Salka Lavinia Rayne will be appearing at the Wellnergy Festival this summer.
