Apple Cider Vinegar Benefits
Apple cider vinegar is essentially apple juice that has been fermented. It is known for its many uses and health benefits. In particular, apple cider vinegar with “the mother” contains prebiotics that support a healthy gut.
The molecules in “the mother” contain the beneficial bacteria and proteins that give ACV the health promoting benefits (and also gives it it’s distinct murky appearance).
During the refining process, “the mother" is removed and these health properties are destroyed. This is why "raw and unfiltered" apple cider vinegar is best for the amazing health benefits.
