Most people can safely consume reasonable amounts of apple cider vinegar by following these general guidelines: Limit your intake. Start with a small amount and gradually work up to a maximum of 2 tablespoons (30 mL) per day, diluted in water, depending on your personal tolerance.

Read More »In a small study in 5 healthy people, vinegar reduced blood sugar by 31.4% after eating 50 grams of white bread ( 8 ). ). A small study in people with diabetes reported that consuming 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before bedtime reduced fasting blood sugar by 4% the following morning (9). Numerous other studies in humans show that vinegar can improve insulin function and lower blood sugar levels after meals ( 10 , 11 ). The National Centers for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) says it’s very important that people do not replace medical treatment with unproven health products ( 12 ). If you’re currently taking blood-sugar-lowering medications, talk with your doctor before increasing your intake of any type of vinegar. SUMMARY Apple cider vinegar has shown great promise in improving insulin sensitivity and helping lower blood sugar responses after meals. 4. May aid weight loss Perhaps surprisingly, studies show that vinegar could help people lose weight. Several human studies show that vinegar can increase feelings of fullness. This can lead to eating fewer calories and losing weight. For example, according to one study, taking vinegar along with a high carb meal led to increased feelings of fullness, causing participants to eat 200–275 fewer calories throughout the rest of the day ( 13 , 14 ). Furthermore, a study in 175 people with obesity showed that daily apple cider vinegar consumption led to reduced belly fat and weight loss (15): taking 1 tablespoon (15 mL) led to a loss of 2.6 pounds (1.2 kg) (15 mL) led to a loss of 2.6 pounds (1.2 kg) taking 2 tablespoons (30 mL) led to a loss of 3.7 pounds (1.7 kg) However, keep in mind that this study went on for 3 months, so the true effects on body weight seem to be rather modest. That said, simply adding or subtracting single foods or ingredients rarely has a noticeable effect on weight. Long-term weight loss is created by adopting helpful and supportive diet and lifestyle habits. Overall, apple cider vinegar may contribute to weight loss by promoting satiety, lowering blood sugar, and reducing insulin levels. Apple cider vinegar only contains about three calories per tablespoon, which is very low. SUMMARY Studies suggest that vinegar can increase feelings of fullness and help you eat fewer calories, which may lead to weight loss. 5. Improves heart health in animals Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death ( 16 ). Several biological factors are linked to your risk for heart disease. Research suggests that vinegar could improve several of these risk factors. However, many of the studies were conducted in animals. These animal studies suggest that apple cider vinegar can lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as well as several other heart disease risk factors ( 17 , 18 , 19 ). Some studies in rats have also shown that vinegar reduces blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for heart disease and kidney problems ( 20 , 21 ). However, there is no good evidence that vinegar benefits heart health in humans. Researchers need to do more studies before reaching any strong conclusions. SUMMARY Several animal studies have shown that vinegar can reduce blood triglycerides, cholesterol, and blood pressure. However, there is no strong evidence that it leads to a reduced risk of heart disease in humans. 6. May boost skin health Apple cider vinegar is a common remedy for skin conditions like dry skin and eczema ( 22 ). The skin is naturally slightly acidic. Using topical apple cider vinegar could help rebalance the natural pH of the skin, improving the protective skin barrier ( 22 ). On the other hand, alkaline soaps and cleansers could irritate eczema, making symptoms worse (23). Given its antibacterial properties, apple cider vinegar could, in theory, help prevent skin infections linked to eczema and other skin conditions. Some people use diluted apple cider vinegar in a face wash or toner. The idea is that it can kill bacteria and prevent spots. However, one study in 22 people with eczema reported that apple cider vinegar soaks did not improve the skin barrier and caused skin irritation ( 24 ). Talk with your doctor before trying new remedies, especially on damaged skin. Avoid applying undiluted vinegar to the skin, as it can cause burns ( 25 ). SUMMARY Apple cider vinegar is naturally acidic and has antimicrobial properties. This means it could help improve the skin barrier and prevent infections. However, more studies are needed to know how safe and effective this remedy is.

Read More »Dosage and how to use it The best way to incorporate apple cider vinegar into your diet is to use it in cooking. It’s a simple addition to foods like salad dressings and homemade mayonnaise. Some people also like to dilute it in water and drink it as a beverage. Common dosages range from 1–2 teaspoons (5–10 mL) to 1–2 tablespoon (15–30 mL) per day mixed in a large glass of water. It’s best to start with small doses and avoid taking large amounts. Too much vinegar can cause harmful side effects, including tooth enamel erosion and potential drug interactions. Some dietitians recommend using organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegars that contain “mother.” Bragg seems to be one of the most popular brand options, which is available online along with reviews and ratings. However, several other varieties are also available. Read more about the right dosage of apple cider vinegar here. SUMMARY A common dosage for apple cider vinegar ranges from 1 teaspoon to 2 tablespoons (10–30 mL) per day, either used in cooking or mixed in a glass of water.
