Effective Dosage: There is no clinical evidence that Apple Cider Vinegar is effective as a weight loss supplement at any dosage.

Apple cider vinegar has long been used as a health aid for weight loss and circulatory health. It is a very safe supplement, even for children. There are no known side effects resulting from using it. It is obtained from the fermentation of apple juice. The fermentation provides alcoholic apple cider that is combined with oxygen to produce acetic acid. The pH of ACV (apple cider vinegar) is very beneficial for the body.

Studies have shown apple cider vinegar does not cause weight loss. Advice for using apple cider vinegar suggests taking two tablespoons before each meal. Theoretically, this might make a person want to eat a little bit less, since many find the taste of apple cider vinegar unappealing. In other words, it might make you slightly less hungry.

To counter the rather nasty taste of apple cider vinegar, some companies now sell it in pill form, and it has also become a popular ingredient in non-prescription diet pills. If any potential benefit is to be derived from apple cider vinegar, putting it in pill form eliminates it. The very sour taste is key to eating less, and thus possibly shedding a little bit of weight. Taking away that taste means the appetite will not be suppressed as a result of apple cider vinegar.

The good news about apple cider vinegar is that it is very safe and has no side effects. Apple cider vinegar also has some minerals and vitamins, which make it good for you, even if it isn’t promoting weight loss.
