When is the best time to take ACV?

A number of clients asked me this week when they should take the Apple Cider Vinegar.

Is it before bed, with meals, or a good idea to drink Apple Cider Vinegar morning?

And the answer is: It depends.

Here are the scenarios:

1) Before or after a meal:

This is the most common method as it aids with digestion.

It also helps slow down gastric emptying, which can help you feel full longer.

2) Before Bed:

It may be the most effective time to lower glucose and insulin.

For example, one study in people with type 2 diabetes found that taking 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of apple cider vinegar at bedtime for 2 days reduced fasting blood sugar levels by up to 6%.

Helps with weight loss.

Studies have shown, adults with obesity drank a 17-ounce (500-ml) diluted apple cider vinegar beverage with 1 tablespoon (15 ml), 2 tablespoons (30 ml), or no vinegar daily. After 12 weeks, the vinegar groups weighed significantly less and had less abdominal fat than the control group:

Bacteria don’t grow well in acidic nature environments, so if you’re prone to bad morning breath, using diluted ACS and gargling a solution of 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of apple cider vinegar and 1 cup (237 ml) of warm water may help.

There are two downsides to taking ACV before bed:

1) It may interfere with other medications, especially diuretics for high blood pressure

2) A person who experiences reflux may have an issue if they lay down too soon after consuming Apple Cider Vinegar.

What do I recommend?

Take it the time of day you prefer and take apple cider vinegar every day for health benefits.

I honestly don't think it will make too much of a difference if it is taken at mealtime or bedtime, provided your nutrition is on point.

Not all Apple Cider Vinegar is the same:

In order for it to be a ‘Digestive Super Food’, help lower blood sugar, decrease body fat and improve overall health. It must be:

Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with Mother
USDA Certified Organic
Verified Non-GMO
Kosher Certified
Unpasteurized and contains the ‘Mother’ enzymes
Unfiltered and raw apple cider vinegar
Gluten-free formula

I have spent the past 7-months finding the highest-rated Apple Cider Vinegar with Mother in the US.
