It can help a lot with digestion and has been studied to help with insulin spikes and blood sugar. It's best when taken 15-20 minutes before a higher carb meal.

As others have mentioned, definitely cut it with water. Taking a straight shot can end up damaging your teeth and causing stomach discomfort

I drink it every morning....a little water, some pink salt and some ACV, drink it at room temp

can't say you notice huge benefits or anything but like I told my buddy, I feel like I stay a bit more lean now that I started it, however I can't say it's the drink as much as it's just knowing what diet works for me better as time goes on or that my workout routine hasn't improved

i'm not going to stop drinking it but I don't think it's some miracle drink

I drink one usually before a higher carb meal, and before dinner/bedtime only diluted with some water. Definietly improves digestion, and a minor leaning effect for me.

Same for me. And it's cheap and a bottle of it lasts awhile. So it's not really hurting the bank or anything for me.

Heartburn went away for the most part after I started ACV.

That's the biggest thing I noticed, I have terrible heartburn and the acv makes it worse for the first few days and then boom no more heartburn.

2 table spoons before every solid meal, it's very good for the health benefits associated with decent stomach acidity

Yes, I have read that apple cider vinegar can help in weight loss, even though it is said that it has a lot of side effects, especially to one's manhood. But it is good since it lowers cholesterol levels and reduces the chances of developing heart conditions.

What dose this do ?
Has it worked for you ?
ACV is amazing. It helps with insulin sensitivity and is good for gut health. I mix a little bit with water first thing in the morning, nefore bed, and before any meal with carbs unless it is a post workout meal. Here is a couple good reads.

All three groups had better blood sugar readings with vinegar than with placebo.
The group with diabetes improved blood sugar by 25 percent.
The group with pre-diabetic symptoms had lower blood sugar than even the healthy group.
The group with pre-diabetic symptoms benefitted the most as their blood glucose concentrations were cut almost in half.

Use vinegar as a salad dressing as it attenuates the glucose and insulin response from a carb meal, in addition to raising insulin sensitivity in general. Continued use can lead to an average weight loss of two pounds in four weeks. Also consider taking two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before bed, as studies have shown that it can lower morning blood sugar by 4 to 6 percent.

Take 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before you go to bed. It'll lower your fasting blood sugar the next morning by 4 to 6 percent. Continued use – at bedtime and even during the day, mixing it into foods when possible – will lead to an average weight loss of 2 pounds in 4 weeks. More vinegar science.

My local stores sell a couple premixed products with flavoring that look good but overpriced. The pitmaster at work mixes organic honey in his and it makes it much more palatable. Good thread, I'm going to pick up some Bragg's and lemon juice soon, or would it be preferable to do fresh squeezed lemon juice...

I’m sure fresh squeezed would be better pasteurization always takes a toll on that stuff.

I use the bottle cap and do about two of them filled with acv. Between meals. sometimes with meals. Sometimes even befor ebed, as this helps lower blood sugar levels some, and upon awaking blood sugar levels are a little bit lower than they would have been. ACV also takes away my indigestion quite fast.

I have zero issue with the taste of ACV but for the guys that do try raw coconut vinegar. Has a touch sweeter taste to it. Completely comparable as it comes with "mother" as well.

I'll have to look into the coconut vinegar.

ACV definitely helps me reduce heartburn. I always use it before really high carb meals, or spicy meals. I need to get on a daily routine though.

My buddy seems not to like the taste of ACV. Good to hear about this alternative.

I'll have to try mixing honey in it and see how it tastes. Haven't tried that yet.

According to my google search result, adding 1 or 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to your diet can help you lose weight. It can also reduce your body fat percentage, make you lose belly fat and decrease your blood triglycerides.

I personally found that the pills work so much better, since I don’t have to deal with flavor and the usually stomach upset.

I’m in agreement with this. Most people stop using it because of flavor, heartburn or other issues with the liquid. Pills may work well.

There is tons of stuff on the internet about the benefits. I've been trying to take it daily before breakfast. I plan on adding it before dinner as well. I haven't noticed any miracles but for all the benefits it lists I figured it doesn't hurt to give it a shot. It's pretty cheap to.

I use ACV and lemon juice every morning and night on my face. It’s good for blemishes,pimples,and regenerate the skin.

Dab a little of ACV and lemon juice on facial pad and wipe your entire face and neck gently.

I mix ACV lemon juice and about 2-3 ounces of water together in a 8 oz bottle.

I'm a daily acv guy, recently I have added sea salt with the acv. I do 2 tbl spoons acv / sea salt / h20. Once upon waking, once before bed.

The taste shouldn't be that bad, especially if you are diluting it with water, which you should do regardless. I can't justify the caps for the cost of the liquid.

Make sure you aren't buying the cheap stuff, look for one with Mother strands.

I had a Stye on My right Eye upper lid. I woke up Wednesday morning it was swollen and sore. I used Stye Eye relief drop and I placed a warm towel over it several times. Friday morning I used a q-tip and dipping it in My organic lemon,Cinnamon, and honey ACV. also I add water in the ACV. I placed the q-tip directly on the STYE and the pain and soreness went away immediately! Swelling has gone down almost completely and My eye looks much better today.

I used to drink this with water cause I liked the taste but got tired of the mix m. Sometimes I just have like a tablespoon without water. Love it haha. Not using it for any benefits though and I can see how many people would hate it.

My God tho man you like the taste? Its foul lol

I'm trying this out now too. The taste isn't all that bad, I've seen a few recipes trying to turn it into some beverage but I just put 1 Tbsp into about 8 oz of water and chug it.

I recommended ACV to someone who was suffering with gastric reflux caused from candida overgrowth in the esophagus. After taking ACV with lemon water first thing in the morning for two weeks she was completely pain free.
