I take a small juice glass every morning, add V-8 Tropical blend Juice and 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar. Taste kinda like the old Tang drink. I take my vitamins and med with it. I’m 71 and have had a stint so i’m hoping this will prevent me from having another one.

I drink it with either apple juice or grape juice. . . makes the greape juice taste like wine.

coke and cider. Taste rather like plum wine. not too sure whether adding the coke does retain the cider’s natural character of it??

I’m listening to a radio program right now and the topic is Apple Cider Vinegar. They are saying that adding a tablespoon of ACV to a bottle of water 1-3 times a day helps dilute the taste, but you still get all the benefits. They say that it has to be the nautural kind and you can buy it at Trader Joes. Hope this helps. I’m going to give it a try !!!

Have been using this for a long time, from health food store, the only one they carry in my town, is Braggs . Mix a tablespoon of honey, tablespoon of vinegar in a cup of hot water, taste like hot apple cider to me.Sometimes I put in couple of tablespoon of vinegar. Usually drink one in am and one in pm, like sipping a hot cup of tea.

you can try the apple cider vinegar with raw honey recommended from organic shop which i’ve tried and it taste good and simple to dilute, only a few days my stomach winds alredy gone.

I’ve been on ACV for about 1 year now and it gives me so much energy. It healed an infection and if I’m consistent every day it makes my period way lighter and shorter. There are so many benefits! I can’t stand Braggs brand. If you can find Spectrum it is organic, raw and not pastuerized w/ the mother. It tastes better to me. I’ve tried every juice and for me the best is Orange, Bananna, Mango by DOLE. Hope this helps!

mix a teaspoon or two with warm water and honey. really refreshing

I add it to cold homemade green tea along with lemon juice and stevia or raw honey. Also another Idea is to add it to your salad along with olive oil or extra virgin coconut oil. I think its really rather pretty good tasting when added to something

Boy have I just learned a lot from this article and comments! I have never heard of a Chigger so had to look it up,don’t think UK and Cyprus have them. I like the idea of retaining my youth but am realistic so will try it for other preventions
Thanks for this article,good reading.

I take the Natural Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother by(Eden) which I get from shoppers grocery store (you have to buy the one that have the Mother in it). I take it with water a tablespoon of vinegar three times a day since January 2008. My cholesterol has lower (no med), has lower the diabetes (not on the med), lower the high blood pressure, I have lose weight, and it have help with my hair loss. I truly feel that you shouldn’t take it with any thing else other than water or maybe a little natural honey. If you go and read up on the benefit of Natural Apple Cider Vinegar w/mother you will see why.

I had hives and heard of 2 tablespoons ACV (Braggs) and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in a cup of warm water – it helped tremendously! Going to keep doing it because I’m seeing other benefits as well like increased energy, appetite suppression and even stronger nails and clearer face!

i just started ACV. it definately help my acid -reflux.
i took the Eu Yang Sang brand where u can find at singapore/ malaysia.
i normally dilute with water & drink in the morning.
BUT remember to rinse ur mouth after that, as it might cause teeth prob later.

htseak | Sep 2, 2008 | Reply
i take “elixir” (1 cup honey, 1 cup vinegar and 8-10 large cloves garlic) daily for 3 years. i get up in the morning, put in roughly 1/4 cup, add water to the top of a pint jar, stir in a tablespoon of metamucil, guzzle it all down except for that last swallow, rinse out my glass and down another pint of water. i’ve been very healthy. i used to have a problem with cysts and it seemed to clear that up. the only drawback that i’ve found is it may lead to possible calcium deficiency where i’ve started getting occasional leg cramps but 3 cups of strong chamomile tea daily seems to balance this out. best of health to you.
cbass | Sep 8, 2008 | Reply
Heinz ACV will not work as well as ‘Braggs’ or one that has the mother in it. It has been refined too much to have the same effects. Try to make sure any acv that you use is unfiltered with the mother, preferably organic.
angellviews | Sep 8, 2008 | Reply
Definitely use an ACV that is organic with “the mother” in it. Braggs is great! GNC sells it. I am a “taste sissy” and had a hard time, but I take one teaspoon with 2 teaspoons organic honey in a glass of water and it’s really good. I think it’s the best (and least expensive) supplement ever.

For four days I’ve been taking a tablespoon of Aspalls Apple Cider Vinegar with a small amount of water firstly to get it down quickly finishing off with a glass of water immediately afterwards and I’ve noticed today that my stomach is feeling a bit acidic. I take it once a day before my evening meal. I’m not too sure if I should take less, any suggestions please. Thanks
Natalie | Sep 12, 2008 | Reply
Take the ACV with apple juice or orange juice, perhaps taking it without diluting it is a bit too harsh for you to start with.
Cheri | Sep 19, 2008 | Reply
You should NOT dilute it with WARM or HOT water, it kills the enzymes in the ACV, only use cold water.

I have suffered with Acne for a while, no other ‘cures’ helped at all! I was recommended ACV and have been drinking 1 tablespoon 2ce every day in a glass of apple juice. After a few days my skin looked far less irritated and red, I felt like I had more vitality. I have been drinking ACV for about a month now, as well as taking zinc and the old scars have nearly gone from my face and there are no new erruptions! Im sorry I cannot comment on benifits for other things.

Beng – That sounds so painful. Try 2 oz of olive oil mixed with 2 oz of lemon juice , followed by a drink of water, twice a day. Seemingly that works.
I personally would also wash my hands well, then apply olive oil topically to the opening of the urethra. It will move up the urethra, and help sooth and facilitate the passage of a stone.

i tried acv and couldnt stand the stand the taste. i read that u can take it with juices like cranberry, apple and orange but i didnt want to sip on it throught the day being that its not healthy for ur teeth. it wears the enamel down. so i decided to do 3 shots of it a day. once in the morning, once around lunch and another after dinner. i took 1 tbsp of acv, put it in the shot glass and filled the shot glass with either real lemon or lime juice. u dont even taste the acv! just make sure u rinse out ur mouth after every use of acv

apple cider is gross???? harden the f@ck up! everything that is good for you usually tastes bad!!
why would you buy something from a chemist that is probably 3 times as much and STILL processed WAY too much. in response to the questions about “the mother” its the cob webby looking stuff floating in the bottle. that’s the stuff that has all the health benefits…

Although this is an old site, I’ve been using ACV for 2 weeks in the AM mixed with apple juice. You should always be carefule as long term useage may lead to bone loss and chip away at tooth enamel. Also, if you’re taking any meds see if there is any contradiction. Don’t simply trust the manufacturers; there is no definite medical research on the benfits of taking ACV long term.

what is a good daily dose to actually see benefits? is 2 tablespoons (1 in am, 1 in pm) sufficient? or do you need more? thanks.
Tim | Mar 22, 2009 | Reply
I add a pinch of baking soda to the acv and water and the bitter taste disappears. My hips have quit aching so now I can sleep on my side now. The acv took less then a week to stop the aching hips. It also is helping my acid reflux too. I’m waiting to see if it cures those varicose veins too, but its to soon to tell,,I’m into my third week. I use the Bragg acv.

Heres my list of ailments: PVC’s (heart palps),heartburn, dibetes, high chol/tryglicerides, anexiety (so I’m told), overweight,thinning hair, thick brittle nails, etc, etc. I go the the Dr regularly (every few months)have been through many many tests in the last two years. I haven’t gotten anywhere successful in relieving, any of my health probs. I do take a multi vitamin, and Omega supplement, but nothing else. Can ACV really help with anything from my list?

I was suffering from severe hot flashes. I read on some website that ACV would stop them, so I tried it. I take two tablespoons in a glass of water in the morning and another two tablespoons in a glass of water in the evening. By the end of the second day, my hot flashes were gone. It’s been three weeks now, and I have not had another hot flash, (and mine were severe). I’m convinced!

I heard about ACV and all its medicinal benefits. I took one tiny sip…. N-A-S-T-Y…. so, I tried it in grape juice… N-A-S-T-Y. I will try it with the raw honey that several of you have recommended, but I am still skeptical. btw… do the ACV pills work just as well?

M. Gall | Jul 7, 2009 | Reply
For those that are using the Heinz, not sure if that will have the benefits, don’t think it has the “mother”. The ACV should be brownish in color (I use Bragg’s brand with the mother). Yes it does taste and smell gross at the beginning, but you get used to it. I take 2 tbls with 8 oz of water in the am, and 2 tbls with 8 oz of water in the pm, and I feel great.

Big glass of orange juice add the ACV and you cannot taste it, maybe a little tangy but the orange is too strong
Oh and drink through a straw or give u teeth a little clean after, its not good stuff for your teeth
And yeh M.GALL you do get used to the smell anyway, I slap the stuff on my face, people kept saying you might have to dilute it and this crap but I slap it on pure and its doing a GRAND job doesn’t sting or anything

I\’ve been using apple cider vinegar honey hot water for a few months now & have seen these results: hot flashes gone, underarm odor gone, at least 1 mole gone & working on others, greatly reduces itch from bug bites, skin tone on face has evened out(I sometimes use it as a toner) … what next?
Carol Keatin | Aug 14, 2009 | Reply
Hi, yes I do. Mix the raw, unprocessed Apple Cider Vinegar with equal part raw honey and add about 8 to 10 fresh cloves of garlic, chopped up very fine, or use a food processor. Keep it refridgerated. Take 1-2 teaspoons a day, followed by a 6-8 oz glass of water or juice. (water is better)
Raw honey and fresh garlic have as much health benefits as the raw, unprocessed apple cider vinegar and they all help build your immune system.
*note – you can also put this over a salad, or whatever meal you want. Just make sure you get plenty of water either way.

I have done a LOT of research on ACV. I am on my first bottle of braggs and doing my best to drink it every day. I just turned 30 and i think due to poor health ( Auto immune illnesses caused by stress) my beautiful once normal legs are now covered in spider veins and veins ( not vericose yet) but you can see it all over my body and bruising. It occured over ONE month!. I am digusted. I started to take more vitamines.. But I heard ACV can cure the veins topically or/and drinking. My question is, has anyone actually tried this and did it work?. I will keep doing though. I have revamped my whole life around organic, and health food store products to help me get a handle on my stress and I am hoping to notice some change soon.
