Apple cider vinegar been used in facemasks, been gurgled, sipped through a straw, in shots, diluted in water… Dubious claims have ranged from miraculous sudden weight loss, to curing cancer, to reversal of diabetes... the list goes on!
Despite the wild tales and theories you might have seen on TikTok or YouTube, apple cider vinegar has been used as a natural remedy for centuries in many cultures, so we wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
Like with every one of our Nourishments, we’re led by science. With every new Nourishment we add to our range. we always do our research – ensuring there are high level, peer reviewed, published, scientific studies into ingredients to back up any anecdotal evidence.
So, what can apple cider vinegar ACTUALLY do for you?
Improve Gut Health
Containing a natural pectic from apples, which is a soluble fibre which helps to support the growth of good bacteria, apple cider vinegar can help to support a healthy gut.[i][ii]
Support Your Immune System
A healthy gut allows us to indirectly support and maintain a healthy immune system. Pectin increases the healthy gut microbial flora which in turn has been shown to support the healthy functioning of the immune system.[iii]
Weight Management
Apple cider vinegar contains natural acids and enzymes which can help to reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness, and scientific studies have shown that those who consumed apple cider vinegar experienced better weight management in comparison to those who didn’t. [iv] [v]
Heart Health
Apple cider vinegar has been shown to reduce bad cholesterol, which in turn supports optimal heart health.[vi]
Not all apple cider vinegar is created equal - our new Nourishment is made with 100% British apple cider vinegar. This is made using a unique fermentation process which results in the production of ‘the mother’, a combination of beneficial yeast, enzymes and healthy bacteria.
Just like all our other Nourishments, we offer apple cider vinegar in a 3D printed gummy format – this means it’s high impact. We encapsulate your apple cider vinegar into our patented vegan hydrocolloid gel, so your body digests your Nourished stack like any other food, making for better absorption.
