Over the centuries, apple cider vinegar (ACV) has been all over the map for its multifarious uses in killing weeds, cleaning coffee makers, polishing armor, making pickles, and dressing salads.

A recent health trend, ACV is being acknowledged by fitness enthusiasts, wellness coaches, and celebrities for its goodness.

ACV is being consumed religiously to purportedly resolve everything from digestive issues, and losing weight, to giving your tresses a long-lasting gloss.

Let us take a closer look at ACV to decipher the reasons behind its recent upsurge in popularity.

Nutritional Content of ACV

Aside from being one of the most popular go-to ingredients in your kitchen, ACV is extolled for its health benefits owing to its rich composition. It hosts plenty of antioxidant compounds such as acetic acid; vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, C, and E, probiotics, and a small number of minerals such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

Raw, unfiltered ACV is abundant in the fiber pectin and other enzymes as a contribution of the residing “mother.”[1]

Moreover, due to its acetic acid content, ACV helps your body absorb essential minerals from the foods you eat.[2]

Advantages of Apple Cider Vinegar

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, and so does a daily gulp of ACV. A regular intake of organic, raw, and unfiltered ACV can bestow your health with the following benefits that have been vouched for by many.

1. Controls Blood Sugar

Your body produces insulin to manage the level of sugar in your blood. The antiglycemic effects of ACV help improve insulin sensitivity.[3][4]

People who have insulin resistance may benefit from 1-2 tablespoons of ACV with each meal. Especially with high-carbohydrate meals, ACV can slow down your stomach’s digestion rate, which in turn increases the time your body has to process new sugars and keeps your blood sugar levels more stable.

  • Mix 1 tablespoon of ACV with 1 glass of filtered water. Drink this up to three times a day.

2. Promotes Weight Loss

ACV is a good source of acetic acid that can contribute to a reduction in body weight. Regular consumption of raw, unfiltered ACV can also help in weight loss.

One study found that obese people who consumed acetic acid daily for 12 weeks enjoyed a significant decrease in body weight, abdominal fat, waist circumference, and triglycerides.[8] It was thought to suppress appetite. The acetic acid may also help prevent the buildup of body fat and certain liver fats.[9]

  • To 16 ounces of water, mix 2 teaspoons of ACV and drink it every day. Couple this drink with your diet and exercise regimen to manage your weight woes.

3. Aids in Digestion

ACV contains prebiotics and a small amount of pectin, a water-soluble fiber, that can encourage regular bowel movements.[7] This makes it a natural aid for constipation and diarrhea or to promote general gut health.

  • Add 2 tablespoons of ACV to 1 glass of water and drink it 3 times a day. You can add apple or grape juice to the mix to make it more palatable.

4. Fights Infection

ACV’s antiseptic properties make it effective against bacterial and fungal infections.[7] It is useful in treating infections such as bacterial ear infections and candidiasis.[13]

ACV can also be used on surfaces, such as countertops or toilets, to prevent bacterial growth. It has been shown to kill yeast growth on dentures as well.[11]

  • For an ear infection, rinse the ear with a 50% solution of ACV.
  • For candidiasis, soak the area in 50% solution of ACV for 30 minutes per day until symptoms improve.

5. Lowers Blood Cholesterol

Scientific research indicates that ACV can help improve your blood’s lipid profile by plummeting the levels of triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL or “bad” cholesterol).

It may also bring a spike in the levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL or “good” cholesterol),[8] which is essential to manage or prevent diseases of the heart.

  • Drink 2 ounces of ACV twice a day to obtain its lipid-lowering effect of ACV.[12]

6. Nourishes Hair

Fashion enthusiasts swear by the efficacy of ACV on hair. It can have wonderful effects on hair by making them glossy and lustrous.

ACV has a soothing effect on the scalp as it restores the pH balance of the hair and scalp. This may inhibit the growth of the yeast that causes dandruff.[10]

  • A solution of ACV and water, mixed in equal proportions, makes for a fantastic natural hair conditioner.
  • To address your dandruff-ridden scalp, apply a 50/50 mixture of water and ACV to the scalp, leave it on for 30 minutes, and then rinse it off. Do this remedy once or twice a week.

7. Gives Glowing Skin

ACV has been praised immensely for its benefits on the skin. It can even out your skin tone by bringing it back to an acidic pH after use.

The manganese content in ACV encourages collagen synthesis and contributes to healthy skin. The ability of ACV to maintain the pH balance in your skin can help prevent various types of skin infections.[6]

  • To use it as a toner, mix ½ a cup of ACV with 1 cup of water and apply the solution all over your face.

8. Combats Bad Breath

If you are embarrassed about your bad breath, ACV is a cheap and simple way to restore your oral health.

ACV has antibacterial properties and fights bad breath by killing the bacteria in your mouth and gums.[5] It also helps resolve the yellowing of teeth.[6]

  • Mix 1 teaspoon of ACV in 1 cup of water and swish it around your mouth before you brush.
Note: As ACV can strip off the enamel from your teeth, rinse your mouth with water before you brush.

9. May Strengthen Bones and Muscles

ACV has been shown to increase the absorption of calcium in the gut of rats.[2] Also, it contains epicatechins, which promote muscle growth.[1]

These features of ACV may play a role in preventing osteoporosis and maintaining muscle mass as we age.

Filtered vs. Unfiltered ACV

Filtered ACV undergoes filtering and pasteurization process that removes the murky cloud at the bottom. The processing refines the ACV and makes it lose many of its potential benefits.

Unfiltered Raw ACV is the unprocessed ACV with the ‘‘mother’’ intact. Without any filtering and pasteurization, this version of ACV is teeming with beneficial bacteria, enzymes, and proteins, making all the difference in its composition.

How is ACV Prepared and Processed?

ACV is the final product of the fermentation of crushed apples. Yeasts are added to feed on the carbohydrate content of the apples and break it down to alcohol. The alcohol is then treated with bacteria (the ‘‘mother’’) to convert it into acetic acid. Acetic acid is the active component in ACV and the key player behind its strong flavor.

The cloudy web at the bottom of an organic or unfiltered ACV bottle is called the ‘‘mother’.’ Similar to the starter culture in sourdough or the scoby in kombucha, the hazy ‘‘mother’’ resides as a thick blob at the bottom of your ACV bottle.

How to Use ACV?

  • Never drink an undiluted shot of ACV straight up. It is best to dilute 1-2 tablespoons of ACV with 8 ounces of water and a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup for oral consumption.
  • Consuming ACV on an empty stomach is the ideal way to reap its benefits.
  • When including it in your beauty regime, it is suggested to apply a highly dilute ratio of ACV and water on your skin. It should be avoided entirely if you have sensitive skin.
  • Spray undiluted ACV as a weedicide.
  • Fruit coolers: Add 1 tablespoon of ACV to a 1:3 ratio of any fruit (cranberry or grapefruit) juice and sparkling water. Add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and relish your drink.
  • Lemon water ACV detox tonic: To 1 glass of warm water, add 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons each of ACV and lemon juice. Sprinkle some cayenne pepper. Drink this early in the morning with your breakfast.
  • ACV mustard dressing: To ½ cup of ACV, add ¼ cup of olive oil, 1 teaspoon mustard, 2 tablespoons of honey, and a pinch of salt. Use this to dress your fruit, vegetable, or quinoa salad.

Precautions with ACV

Despite the multiplicity of benefits ACV offers, there are a few downsides to its use:

  • ACV is an acid and should be consumed in diluted forms only. Drinking it up straight can wear off the enamel of your teeth and cause a burning sensation in the esophagus, sending off some of the acids to your lungs.
  • ACV can have adverse effects when consumed by people on high blood pressure medications (such as diuretics) by depleting the levels of potassium in their body.
  • Excess intake of ACV can cause a sudden drop in blood sugar levels, which makes it mandatory for people with diabetes to be cautious of their ACV intake.
  • Direct application of undiluted ACV on the skin can cause itching, irritation, and even burns. Exercise caution when using it on the face, scalp, or hair to avoid irritating eyes.

Final Word

ACV is an inexpensive, age-old kitchen ingredient that lends a helping hand to your diet and health.

Use it in your salad dressings, marinate your meat with it, drink it up in diluted forms, or dab a diluted version on your skin – ACV will always deliver. Due to the little scientific research and no concrete evidence, moderate and diluted use is the key to garner its associated health benefits.

So, the next time you go grocery shopping, make sure to purchase a bottle of unfiltered organic ACV with the “mother” to have something in your pantry to come to your rescue when needed.

    • Joseph says:

      Hi Sandra, Just wanted to know if you diluted it before consuming it. Is it to be taken before or after meals. How long should it be taken before it can cure a person completely.
      Joseph

      • Katie says:
        5 years ago

        Joseph,

        I take about 1 and a half or 2 tbs in the morning before breakfast and one in the evening before dinner, it has helped with any heartburn, acid re flux issues. I find though after a few weeks if I miss even one time taking it I can notice. This is definitely something you need to stick with to reap the benefits of. It’s also great for keeping you “regular”.

    • steve says:
      5 years ago

      Sandra, vinegar is acidic. You stomach problem was most likely because you did not have enough acid, rather your stomach was alkali and the vinegar corrected it.

      I just seen your comment about using apple cider vinegar for what loss. I was wondering what your results where.

  10. Cat says:
    7 years ago

    If having problems with ACV on your stomach, you’re taking too much at once. Begin with 1-2 teasps in 6-8 oz of water and if still experiencing stomach pain, add a pinch of baking soda before the water until you no longer need the BS. Also, start with with once a day moving to twice a day before meals. I drink my ACV with tea first thing in the morning and again about an hour before bed. It’s quite enough for me. Like everything we do or take for our health slow and easy, but with CONSISTENCY is always the better path to accurately gauge long term positive or negative affects. By no means should you drink ACV w/o a straw and not rinse your mouth with plain water after drinking it. It will sheer off the enamel on your teeth. So drink it at one sitting; then rinse your mouth with water.

    • Kathryn Mitchell says:

      Hi – u say under no circumstances to take ACV without using a straw – but u recommend gargling with it? Tks

      HI, I had a eye cyst about eight years ago removed by surgery. Then about five years ago it came back so I used castoroil ….by rubbing it on the cyst until it disappeared. Now I used castor oil for things like tooth inflamatiom, gaggle mouth,pains, even danduff and most ailments …..with excellent results…..

      You can use Baking Soda, if you are washing it in a sink. But if you want to run it thuogrh, your apple cider vinegar will work fine . I have a stove top, and sometimes I use,” Fume Free Easy Off Oven Cleaner” in the blue can. That really cleans it. My Mom used to get a product called, “Dip- It” and ran that thuogrh hers. Byee, I’m going to have my coffee now!

    🙂
    I started to use ACV almost 3 months and my cholesterol, fat liver, migraine, sign of diabetic is all normal according to my blood test, but I did not lose kilo only I notice that I can wear my jeans size 40 ( was size 42 ) my fat belly starting to become flat also this winter I got sore throat but I drink 1 tablespoon ACV the first thing in the morning and you can feel it is burning in the throat do this until the sore throat or colds are over,, on lunch drink one tbs ACV with one glass apple juice evening 1 tbs ACV before bed within 3 months go to the doctor for best result <<<, I don't mean everybody will have the same result depends on a person? drink a lot of apple juice, water eat what u want but less fatty meat, no soft drinks, less sugar, less salt lastly control you're eating hobby 🙂

    • Patricia says:
      5 years ago

      Well said! Drink a lot of pure water (which is hard to get ~ even bottled water has some fluoride in it!!!) Most juices even have it…after all they use water! If possible get Himalayan Pink Salt…..it has many good minerals! (you can buy it online). Our bodies need salt, but not the kind that’s had everything good removed from it. Soft drinks are the worst thing you can do to your body. I got off them months ago and have lost 30-40 lbs. Also I have to mention organic food only ~ NO GMOs. (genetically modified organisms ~ check it out on youtube.com if you haven’t heard about what Monsanto and others have done to our food) I couldn’t get enough veggies ~ for some reason my body craved them. I don’t like cooking, but couldn’t find what I wanted at any restaurant so I was forced to make my own 🙂 For the past several months I bought lots of fresh veggies and some fruits from the farmers’ market….OMG. Really fantastic and now I wonder what I’ll do over the winter??? There are a number of good stores near me carrying organic food….so I’ll survive!

    Thanks for your incisive write up on ACV. Ive been using it for weight losd and have introduced it to quite a number of friends, just to add that when ever I take it it makes me to pee more often. in the evenings am sure going to pe at times upto thrice before dawn. I dont know if others share similar experience. I also use ACV as an after shave and the result is excellent

    I suffered with thrush (candida albicans) all my young adult life. Finally I discovered that drinking ACV three to four times a day (one capful in a shot glass of water) can cure me of the problem. It balances the ph of the body back to a slight acidity which makes it hard for thrush (a fungal infection) to proliferate. Fungal infections love a slightly alkaline environment and so also a dilute application to the infected area three times a day, as well as drinking ACV three times a day can should guarantee a complete cure.

      Bragg Organic Aplle Cider Vinegar is available here in the Phils. I bought mine at HiTop in Quezon Ave QC but it was the Apple-Cinnamon. I used to buy the plain Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar at Cherry Supermarket but it closed down already.

      Just be sure to buy organic with “the mother lode” ~ you can see something floating inside the bottle.

    All very good comments on the use of Apple ? Cider Vinegar. Amazing what the apple can do
    Did you know that it was Not an Apple that Eve gave to Adam? It was the Pomegranate …too bad cuz.I like these too! LoL ?

  52. Ginger says:

    hey all….I noticed that someone said that the body’s ph has to be slightly acidic to be healthy….that’s incorrect coz its actually the other way round. the body has to be slightly alkaline to be healthy because in that state it is oxygen rich and many diseases such as cancer hate an oxygen rich environment so the diseases cannot survive. Apple cider has an acidic ph but its effect on the body is alkalizing thus its ability to fight off yeast infections. The same gig is with lemon juice, although it has a ph of 2, its effects to the body are very alkalizing. Note that taking these with filtered water is SUPER important!!!!!! coz tap water with all the chlorine. flouride and heavy metals is not anybodys best friend. I hope this helps somebody…..

    hi there
    very good info keep up the good work just to ask

  67. Ruth says:
    5 years ago

    Apple cider is good for lots of things , but , remember to rinse your mouth after you take it, because it is hard on the enamel on your teeth

    My husband use to suffer with athlete’s foot & he used ACV to finally get rid of it. I bought a gallon of cider vinegar &
    poured it into a foot soaking pan, then he added a tray of ice cubes & just enough water to cover the foot. He would
    soak for 30 minutes & then dry them with a towel. The house smelled like a pickling solution but it cured his problem.
    You keep pouring the CV back into the bottle & when you get ready to soak again just add a tray of ice cubes. He
    started out soaking 2 times a week & increased to 3 times. Each time he noticed the healing of his feet & when he
    was cleared up he quit the soaking. He was a WW2 navy veteran & he suffered a lot before finding the right cure to be as simple as buying a gallon jug of cider vinegar. We bought many kinds of sprays & creams that didn’t do the job.

    I have to say that this website is one of the most informative sites I have come across.. and I believe me I have read loads in my time. I have suffered from gastro reflux for several years and have searched the web for natural solutions….. I’ve found a combination of acv and sodium bicarbonate works wonders. Instant relieve. However, I find if I stop taking this for a week it returns. Thanks for the helpful information posted… I will continue to frequent this site for updates.
