Apple Cider Vinegar - 60ct 500mg

Apple cider vinegar, also known as ACV, is made by fermentation of pulverized apple. Yeast or bacteria break down the sugar content in the apple by-product. The sugar is converted to alcohol, followed by the further processing of alcohol to vinegar by acetobacter microbes. The vinegar contains vitamins, amino acids, minerals and some other substances. But the main ingredient is acetic acid, which gives vinegar its unique taste. Malic acid also contributes to the sour taste of vinegar.

Acetic acid is famous for its medicinal properties especially when found in apple cider vinegar. Sometimes the pH balance in your body may get out of balance and acetic acid may come handy in restoring the pH level to 7.4. Also acetic acid is reported to be extremely effective in regulation of insulin and blood sugar levels.

Type 2 diabetes is associated with insulin resistance and this may lead to accumulation of sugar in the blood stream. This in turn leads to stimulation of fat storing mechanisms in the body, causing people to gain weight. Acetic acid present in apple cider vinegar can promote insulin sensitivity and help stabilise sugar levels in diabetics.

Acetic acid is a great way to lose weight and studies conducted by Tomoo Kondu have shown extraordinary results in controlling fat accumulation in the bodies of lab mice. It affects the enzymes responsible for oxidation of fatty acids and subsequently reduces fat accumulation. Also it may be associated with the feeling of contentment after a meal and may help reduce total food intake. Acetic acid does not contribute to loss in muscle weight but can be very effective in overall weight loss.

Besides causing weight loss, it has also been shown to reduce blood pressure. The studies conducted on this topic have shown that the blood pressure does not reduce immediately. Rather, lowering of blood pressure in test subjects was observed after taking ACV supplements regularly for an extended period of time. Addition of apple cider vinegar with acetic acid to your diet is extremely easy. It is easily available and you can use it to make pickles, salad and can add life to other dishes. Consumption of acetic acid in regulated quantities is completely safe.
