Apple cider vinegar has been used medically for centuries. But in recent years, it has enjoyed a surge in popularity due to its natural remedies for various health problems.
Health practitioners claim that the ingredient aids digestion, helps to control blood sugar level spikes, and by creating a feeling of satedness, can be beneficial for those looking for a weight loss aid. For example, according to one study, taking vinegar along with a high carb meal led to increased feelings of fullness, causing participants to eat 200–275 fewer calories throughout the rest of the day (1).
Vinegars contain known beneficial bioactive compounds, these are of many types, such as carotenoids, phytosterols, phenolic compounds, and vitamins C and E. Apple cider vinegar (ACV), specifically, also contains organic acids (acetic acid, citric acid, formic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, and succinic acids) and phenolic compounds (gallic acid, catechin, epicatechin, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and p-coumaric acid). The main component of ACV is acetic acid, and the dominant polyphenol compound is chlorogenic acid. All these above compounds are thought to instil ACV with health benefits even when ingested in a small amount.
In 2013, the American producer Bragg began importing its Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar to the UK, selling around 95,000 bottles in that one year. By 2018, they were selling 1.57 million bottles of Apple Cider Vinegar (2).
So, why is Apple Cider Vinegar now one of the most hyped products on the health food and supplement market today? More people are looking for a multitasking natural product that’s in tune with nature and doesn’t harm the environment. ACV is an all rounder ingredient, which can be used for cleaning, as a health supplement and for hair. Liquids have been traditionally the most popular form of Apple Cider Vinegar, however gummies have grown in popularity over recent years, driven by consumers wanting a tasty, convenient format (2).
