Apple Cider Vinegar: 450mg

What Are the Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar? Most studies that support ACV for health effects have been small, and the results have not been decisive. We need more and bigger investigations into its benefits. But so far, here's what research has found: It may help with weight loss. One study showed that taking apple cider vinegar twice a day helped people following a reduced-calorie diet lose a few extra pounds. But the study was small and short-term, following 39 people for 12 weeks. Some researchers thought the vinegar's acetic acid might speed up metabolism. But the data didn't bear this out. It may be that people lost more weight because of the placebo effect. Or perhaps the acetic acid made them nauseated, which caused them to eat less. It may lower blood sugar. Several smaller studies have shown that taking a tablespoon or two of apple cider vinegar could lower your blood sugar after meals. The effect was moderate, and we need more research to know exactly how it works. Kee
