Apple Cider Vinega is an excellent source of other bioactive ingredients. Two of the key ones are acetic acid and malic acid. Acetic acid is created by adding bacteria to the fermented apple alcohol, and it has loads of benefits. Malic acid, on the other hand, is found naturally in fruits like apples, cherries, and tomatoes, but is found at an even higher concentration in ACV.

One of the biggest benefits of ACV is that it can aid in weight loss. Studies have shown that consuming ACV (along with high-carb foods) can result in feeling fuller for longer. This can help with losing weight due to a reduced caloric intake. In addition, vinegar has been shown to help metabolic syndrome-related conditions in some individuals.
· Lowers Cholesterol
Regular consumption of ACV can help lower cholesterol and triacylglycerols, which supports heart health.
· Reduces Blood Pressure
