Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid, which helps increase stomach acid production. This promotes better breakdown of food, enhances nutrient absorption, and reduces symptoms like bloating and indigestion. ACV can also support healthy gut bacteria by creating a more acidic environment that discourages harmful microbes.

“Many people experience noticeable relief in digestion when taking ACV before meals.”

Several studies have shown that consuming apple cider vinegar before or with a carbohydrate-rich meal can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes. This is especially helpful for individuals with insulin resistance or those looking to maintain stable energy levels throughout the day.

“ACV slows the digestion of starches, helping your body process sugar more gradually.”

Apple cider vinegar may promote satiety — helping you feel fuller, longer. By reducing appetite and minimizing cravings, it becomes easier to maintain a calorie deficit. Some studies also suggest ACV may slightly increase fat burning and reduce body fat percentage over time when paired with a healthy diet.

“Just 1–2 tablespoons per day may support sustainable fat loss as part of a healthy lifestyle.”
