General Information:

Apple Cider Vinegar has been used for centuries as a health tonic for a wide range of benefits. It is made in a two-step process, by first exposing apples to yeast in order to ferment sugars and turn it into alcohol, and then adding bacteria to the solution, turning the alcohol into acetic acid, an active compound in vinegar. Apple cider vinegar contains vitamins B1, B2, and B6, biotin, folic acid, niacin, pantothenic acid, and vitamin C. Its minerals include sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, and magnesium. Apple cider vinegar also has proteins, enzymes, and “good” bacteria. Its wide range of benefits includes cardiovascular, joint, skin, and digestive health improvements.

Vinegar can be used to kill pathogens, and thus has also been used as a food preservative for killing bacteria that spoils food. It also offers cardiovascular benefits by improving insulin sensitivity, regulating blood glucose levels, and helping to prevent cardiovascular diseases and conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Apple cider vinegar contains chlorogenic acid, which protects LDL cholesterol from being oxidized, helping to prevent heart disease. By lowering blood sugar and insulin levels, it also helps to lose weight. Other benefits of apple cider vinegar include treating vaginitis, general detoxification, and skin health. It can help with stomach problems, specifically gastroparesis, slow digestion, and an unsettled stomach. It has been associated with joint benefits by improving osteoporosis (weak bones) and treating arthritis.

Apple cider vinegar seems safe to consume; there are no side effects associated with regular consumption. Those with osteoporosis, diabetes, or taking laxatives, diuretics, or heart disease medication should consult a doctor prior to use of apple cider vinegar supplements. Overconsumption of supplements may lead to ulcers, tooth enamel erosion, and throat irritation; take in moderation. Consuming large amounts over the long run may lead to low potassium.
