Raw Apple Cider Vinegar can be used both internally and externally to achieve its many benefits.
Beneficial Ingredients of raw ACV include potassium, pectin, malic acid, calcium, ash (creates alkaline quality in the vinegar and aids body in maintaining PH balance), and acetic acid. It is loaded with minerals and vitamins.
How you should take it.
A little bit goes a long way. It can be pungent and very strong so I recommend diluting it. I normally put a couple of tablespoons in a tall glass and fill it with 12-16 ounces of purified water. I'll have it next to me and I sip it slowly throughout an hour or so while I am working on the computer or working on other things. I also like to sip it with a straw instead of drinking it directly as that's easier on your teeth. once or twice a day is ideal. The only side effect of raw organic apple cider vinegar is the fact that it's not good for your teeth enamel and drinking from a straw eliminates that issue.
