Short answer: apple cider vinegar carries the formula's genuine evidence for satiety and blood sugar response, while BHB salts are included as a ketone source at a dose too small to meaningfully raise blood ketones — two very differently rated ingredients, honestly labeled.
Apple cider vinegar: the ingredient with the most to point to
Twice-fermented apple juice containing roughly 5% acetic acid — modest research supports a role in satiety and blunting the blood sugar rise after a carbohydrate meal, genuine if limited evidence.
BHB salts: included, but at a nominal dose
Beta-hydroxybutyrate bound to minerals to make it stable in a supplement — at research doses it reliably raises blood ketones, but BurnTide's entire blend sits at 525 mg versus the 6-12 grams research typically uses.
Why combining them still makes sense as a formula
Even with BHB's limited dose contribution, its stable mineral-bound form provides trace sodium, calcium and magnesium alongside the more evidence-backed vinegar component — a reasonable, if modest, combination.
