Apple Cider Vinegar

About Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is produced through the fermentation of apple juice, creating acetic acid and beneficial compounds. Traditionally used for centuries as a digestive aid, it has gained renewed popularity as a wellness tonic for metabolic and digestive support. A landmark 2024 randomised controlled trial in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health found that daily consumption of 15 ml ACV over 12 weeks led to measurable weight loss in overweight participants. The active compound, acetic acid, slows gastric emptying (promoting fullness), improves insulin sensitivity, and may reduce fat storage. It works best as part of a structured eating pattern rather than a standalone 'miracle' solution.

Key benefits

How to use

Mix 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) raw, unfiltered ACV with 8 oz water. Drink before meals or in the morning. Add honey and lemon for taste. Always dilute to protect tooth enamel and esophageal tissue — never drink undiluted.
