I am 34 year-old male who had terrible side effects (severe constipation) from statins while trying to reduce my cholesterol of 234. I had to quit taking them. A friend at work recommended 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar with some juice every day. She said her results shocked her doctor after 2 months. She also said it worked for her sister.

So, I tried it that night, and also wanted to check it out online, because I'm always a skeptic. What I found was that a LOT of people recommend ACV for a whole range of things that interest me. After reading all I've read, and from my personal experience so far, I'm really diggin it. The only side effects I've seen is the taste, and because it is very acidic, people say you should keep it off your teeth as much as possible.

Here's a list of some of the things I've read that it helps dramatically with:
Cholesterol, blood pressure, immune system, detoxification, eczema, migraines, headaches & sinus headaches, hair thinning & hair loss, warts, slow steady weight loss, diabetes, depression, insomnia, increased energy & alertness, infections & cancers, the flu, sinus infections & post nasal drips, allergies & asthma, chronic fatigue, sore throats, arthritis, ulcers, bowel problems & IBS, nail fungus, acne, skin problems & complexion. The list goes on and on, to the point where it sounds WAY too good to be true.

I read several testimonials from teachers and nurses that used to get sick repeatedly, to the point where they thought they'd have to quit their jobs, until they started taking ACV. They claim they don't get sick anymore at all.

Since there really doesn't seem to be any side effects from ACV, I can't think of any reason NOT to try Apple Cider Vinegar. I am curious/anxious to see if it helps with some of my stuff. In particular, I get sick. A LOT. I work in retail and I usually need antibiotics at least 4 times each winter for sinus infections, sore throats and post nasal drips, going back to when I was a kid. Allergies. Cholesterol. More energy and some weight-loss sounds good too! Basically, it seems to clean out your blood and detoxify your body really well, which helps to get the whole machine running like it should.

I've only been on it for 14 days as of this writing, and what I can testify about so far is:
1. Energy/Alertness. I feel really good so far. Many users claim they feel a very persistent boost of energy within a day, and I certainly felt it too, and it hasn't stopped. I've also been sleeping very well. For at least 10 years, (since about when I had mono) I have always felt like I was in a bit of a brain fog. (No jokes please!) Since taking it these past two weeks, I feel very alert with increased energy. It just FEELS like my body and brain are simply "on their game", so to speak.
2. Allergies. When I started taking the ACV, my allergies were already bothering me for a bit, and I've been clear as a bell since the first day. Also, every time I go to my in-laws, my allergies go nuts from their dog. I usually have to start popping Benadryl within a half an hour. This past week, I was there for 2 nights and 3 days and didn't even need 1 pill. My sinuses were totally clear! Was it the ACV? Other people said they had similar quick findings, but I don't want to say for sure. Ragweed season is right around the corner, so we'll see how it handles that.
3. Complexion. ACV supposedly helps clear it up in a slow but steady fashion. My face was breaking out really bad for the past month when my cholesterol pills screwed up my whole system. In addition, I have always had many blackheads on my nose area, no matter what I washed it with. I poured a little bit of ACV on some paper towel and rubbed the area with it like a Stridex Pad, and within 2 days my facial complexion looks better than it has in years. I've never gotten results like this! Again, is it the ACV? I can't say for sure. It could just be that my body is happy I've stopped doing what I HAD been doing. Watch... I'll probably wake up with a big 'ol zit tomorrow morning!

In general, it just feels like I am being detoxed, and natural remedies like this are up my alley. If it helps with just 1 or 2 of these things, with no side effects like my pills gave me- I'll keep at it for a while. I don't want to go around running my mouth until I am positive it is seriously working, but I wouldn't mind hearing if it is working for other people too. So let me know if you try it and what you find, and I'll continue to do the same... I'm a bit of a closet scientist who loves to discuss his data!

The only other things I take daily are a Men's One-a-Day vitamin, Activia (yogurt), Claritin (allergy pill), and a fish oil pill (also good for cholesterol & heart health). I've been taking 2 tablespoons of the ACV mixed with very little water, like a shot, and then I chase it with more water. The bad taste is over in less than 5 seconds- No sweat!

One thing I've read over and over again, is to NOT buy the regular ACV you find in the store. People say that it has been distilled and filtered to make it look more clear- but that just takes out all the nutrients and potency. They say to look for "organic" or "raw" from a health store or farm stand, and it is just as cheap. They say that the cloudier it looks, the better.

Just Google "apple cider vinegar" and you'll quickly find hundreds of user testimonials and advice from around the world, from all types of people. I was skeptical at first, but you have to ask yourself... "Could ALL these people be morons?" Or, "Why would they all lie about a 3 dollar bottle that they aren't making any money from?"

There doesn't seem to be much to lose. If it stops working, I'll stop drinking! I'll write another review after my cholesterol check-up within 2 months, and probably another after I see how it does with colds this winter! Good health!!

If you haven't tried it you should. You can just feel it working. I use the 8 oz. glass of water with 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar with natural honey to sweeten it. I use it as needed for Urinary Tract infection and other bladder problems. It works everytime. Plus, it is much cheaper than a doctors visit-when you are ignored of your bladder issues anyway as if they didn't exist. Our healthcare system is failing us by not giving us the information we need on natural remedies for our health.

In this life, we occasionally encounter life changing products. This is absolutely, 100%, undoubtedly one of the best products EVER; life changing! Immediately upon sniffle, scratchy throat, headache, muscle ache, joint pain... whatever... out comes the Braggs! Awesome! Awesome, stuff! I used to drink it every morning; 1 TBS to 16 oz glass of water. If I do this daily; I don't get sick- period. Lately, I just bring it out if I notice I'm fighting something. Our immune systems have become so strong in last few years by taking Braggs, taking Threelac, and praying for health that we only bring it out as needed now.

Childrens and husbands recipe: 2 tsp Braggs, 4 oz water, 2 tsp natural honey. Theirs is delicious! I don't mix mine with honey because I have an intollerance to honey. You can warm this and add some cinnamon for a yummy, warm snack. Don't use too much honey or you might get a stomach cramp. Remember the Bible even warns against too much honey as it can make you sick at your tummy! Taken correctly it's a wonderful, wonderful healing agent!

During the whole Swine Flu saga in 09, our crew never got sick and we have 5 children; some of which are still in the booger eating age; just being honest. We haven't taken a flu shot in years yet have been healthier than ever. For about two years we've been taking Braggs ACV and a product called ThreeLac (probiotic). I am very thankful for both.

Early on, when our immune systems were not strong, we did take Braggs daily and we took Threelac daily. So keep that in mind. If your digestive tract seems to be fine and the issue is simply immunity; Braggs might be all that's needed.

Careful when buying by the gallon because if it sits on your shelf, the flavor of the Brraggs can take on the flavor of plastic!!!!! I used to buy by the gallon jug, now I buy a gallon but by buying several of the large glass bottles at a time.

Miracle Remedy:

Blend:
1 Cup Braggs
1 Cup raw honey
8 crushed garlic cloves

Store in an airtight GLASS container for 5 days. Take 2 tsp in small glass of water each morning before breakfast. If I feel my body fighting a sickness, I can take an additionl 1-2 treatments per day. If I notice one of my children looking pasty or sneezing; I give additional treatments.

You DO NOT have to make this remedy. You can just use ACV, honey and water or just ACV and water. This miracle remedy just adds the wonderful healing power of garlic with it; good stuff.

In conclusion, I only buy Braggs. The grocery store stuff doesn't compare. I use this diligently and don't go out of town without a bottle. We've given family and friends a bottle because of the tremendeous blessing we've received from using it. God has blessed this stuff tremendeously and blessed us by using it! I couldn't be more thankful for a product in all my life! For 2 years we've been a Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar family and Lord willing, we'll never be without it!

May God bless you with all the health and energy you need to pursure your purpose on this earth!

Braggs is the only apple cider vinegar that I will buy....I love the stuff. Well not the taste but it does wonders if you follow the suggested daily serving on the side, for weight loss and many other things. I also use it for digestion aide and to control blood sugar.
I would strongly recommend this product.

I was given a 16 ounce jar of this from a friend who suggested it for acid reflux. Take a good spoonful with honey or just straight. Cider vinegar will burn a bit as you swallow but, I was amazed that within 30 seconds my heartburn was gone. I have put my peptic ac and rolaids on the back shelf for now. Believe me, I have suffered for acid reflux for many years. This is the most amazing natural remedy I have ever used. Evidently, the cause for heartburn is often NOT ENOUGH acid in your stomach. Well, I guess that's been my problem since the apple cider vinegar works every time!

Actually, a little over a month ago, my wife suggested that I try ACV to help relieve the pain and discomfort associated with my acid reflux. Not to mention, I was drinking baking soda by the handful, because the OTC drugs didn't help with my acid reflux, and the prescription meds were getting to expensive. At that point, I was pretty much open to anything that would really work, even as a bona fide skeptic, when it comes to herbal remedies.

Anyway, I tried it and, to my surprise, it worked better than we expected. I drink it twice a day. Once in the morning and after dinner. I do not drink it straight. I dilute one tablespoon with a glass of cold water, and I'm good to go. You have to get accustomed to the taste, but it's really not bad at all. Afterwards, I can feel something good is going on inside of me! I'm seriously considering increasing my intake to three times a day. But for right now, the results are satisfactory.

I'm fortunate also to possess a commercial pilot's license. Pilots are required to submit to a more detailed medical examination than normal. Anyway, here are just a few of my own positve results after a month of consuming Bragg's Organic, Raw & Unfiltered ACV:

1. Lower blood pressure
2. Lower blood sugar
3. Lower LDL (bad cholesterol)
4. Lost about 2 lbs of body weight

Not only that, the joint pains in my knee and elbow, are noticably decreasing. Plus, my energy level has increased to the point that I'm able to get out more with my family, and even take on a light jog again!

It's really an amazing blessing. I owe my thanks and love to my beautiful wife for suggesting ACV. And thanks to The Vitamin Shoppe and Amazon for making such a great, inexpensive, and dependable product available. Hey, I know most of you, as I am, are skeptics. But the results will astonish you. So, please do yourself and your family a life long favor and try it. You don't have to purchase the gallon size. The Vitamin Shoppe offers several other smaller portion sizes of ACV. Just try it and see for yourself. I'm glad I did. Live strong!

I recently purchased Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar because they state they are all natural and organic. I was previously using White House all natural Apple Cider Vinegar and after researching Bragg's ACV online and reading other reviews I decided to try it. This is the best tasting ACV I have tasted by far. It tastes more like apples than other brands making it easier to take. My family has recently started a nutrition plan for weight loss and to increase our health in general which was why I was using ACV in the first place. All the research stated organic was the way to go for weight loss and health benefits versus the store bought brands and they are correct. On the White House brand I lost only 3 lbs the first week, since starting on the Bragg's ACV I have lost on average 6 lbs a week bringing my total weight loss now to 20.5 lbs. I love this product. Also, just as an FYI, my mom and two cousins all started on the White House ACV when we started and could not stand the taste. There are 8 of us on the nutrition plan, my mom stopped using the product completely and loses between 1/2 to 1 lb a week the same as those not using the ACV. The two cousins switched to Bragg's as I did and lose between 3 to 6 lbs a week. The product really does help with weight loss. Everyone will be going for follow up blood testing and weigh in's next week so I will let you know how it changes the other numbers as well since 5 of us suffer from high cholesterol, 1 was diagnosed with pre diabetes, 3 with high blood pressure and 1 with hypoglycemia. We have all changed portion sizes on our food, added walking as our moderate exercise and the only difference is the ACV. All on the nutrion plan are over 200 lbs with 1 being over 300 lbs at the start. I think the Bragg's ACV is going to show itself strong with those blood test results as well so I can't say enough good things about the product. Try it and see the difference for your self. See you on the healthy side!

My Dad swears by it and says he feels very energetic once he drinks it and that the puffiness under his eyes have diminished. I myself notice only a couple of days later how clear my skin looks and I know its cleaning my body. Its a must! The taste is not horrible at all..you can dilute it with as much water as you want..for foods it tastes amazing..this is good stuff...and apple a day keeps the doc away..THIS IS THE APPLE!

Have bought this brand of Vinegar for years and love it, it is the best of the best the very best quality vinegar, I consider myself a vinegar connoisseur so to speak of this is a very good buy and you won't be dissappointed plus it taste like apple juice when you add water and honey and water to it as a health drink it is also very refreshing to drink in this way

Over the past 9 weeks I've changed my life, cleaned up my health, lost over 10 lbs, walk nearly 10 miles a day, pump weights & most importantly have incorporated supplements & BRAGGS Apple Cider Vinegar into my diet... what a difference! I don't even take over-the-counter medicines anymore. None.

What motivated me? 9 weeks ago, I went to visit family... who are consumed by health problems, taking prescription pills to "survive" chronic pain... it was the most profound experience. On the flight home, I decided to change my life.

I have no health insurance & that also was a great motivator (ironically)... I couldn't easily pop pills to cure my chronic migraines & lower back pain. I actually had to research online...endlessly. What kept coming up: the power of apple cider vinegar... so, I tried it... I even bathed in it!

When you clean up your health drastically, it's often difficult to attribute 1 particular thing or supplement as the exact reason for cures but I will say... I feel immediately better after the second I drink ACV. I haven't had 1 migraine in 9 weeks! (I used to throw up from intense migraines 4x a month) & my skin is so clear, so soft I can hardly believe it! I also believe it's helped with the weight loss.

I'm used to the flavor now because I honestly believe all the positive "associations" I have w/ ACV can mentally affect taste. It's possible... trust me!

For me, I drink 2-3 tablespoons per day... cold water + lots of lemon & lime juice (which helps flavor & health benefits)...

Also, haven't been sick & am super energetic. Clean up your health now & ACV is a great little motivator... simple, affordable, & SUPER powerful!
