This type of vinegar is made from fermented apples and is sold in addition to its liquid form, as pills, gum, or powder.
There is also an unfiltered liquid form of apple cider vinegar, which contains a thick layer of probiotic bacteria, which contain microbes that enhance beneficial bacteria in the body, especially those that are good for gut health.
Acetic acid is the main active ingredient in apple cider vinegar and has been linked to positive health outcomes, such as reducing certain risk factors associated with heart disease.
According to natural medicine specialist Josh Reid, consuming apple cider vinegar may also help lower cholesterol, especially in people with type 2 diabetes.
USA Today quoted Reid as saying, “Vinegar is also high in magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and calcium, which are minerals essential for healthy and functioning organs.
Reed added, “Apple cider vinegar stands out for its antioxidants that scavenge free radicals from blood cells to prevent or reduce the risk of disease.”
Does apple cider vinegar make you lose weight?
Studies show that apple cider vinegar improves metabolism, thus preventing obesity.
According to Lisa Young, assistant professor of nutritional sciences at New York University, vinegar “increases feelings of fullness, which in turn can reduce appetite.”
Young recommends that the amount of vinegar consumed per day be no more than two tablespoons.
And Reid confirms that taking apple cider vinegar with meals “may also help reduce high blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity, which may aid weight loss.”
“Due to its high acidity, apple cider vinegar can erode tooth enamel over time, so it’s necessary to dilute it with water,” advises Reed.
