You might be considering taking apple cider vinegar because you want to lose weight or because you’re looking for a body cleanse but either way you’re thinking about apple cider vinegar for the health benefits it could bring.
What is Apple Cider Vinegar?
Apple Cider Vinegar is a vinegar made from fermented apple juice and has been used for many centuries, as is the case with most herbal or plant remedies, because they exist in the world around us naturally, and are not synthetically or chemically manufactured!
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) contains magnesium, iron, phosphate, manganese and contains amino acids with antioxidant benefits.
Historic Use of Apple Cider Vinegar
ACV has been historically used to add flavour to foods and as a preservative for pickling. It was also taken as an energising drink and for its general medicinal benefits too! Japanese Samurai warriors were reported to have used it for power and strength in training for battle and Persians were said to drink it to prevent weight-gain and build-up of fatty deposits internally. Hippocrates used it to aid cough relief (it’s thought to promote maintenance of a healthy immune system) and for cleaning wounds, as did the battlefield doctors in World War 2. It was used by the Egyptians as a skin and hair restorative tonic and is also known for its antiseptic benefits.

How to take Apple Cider Vinegar as a Detox
While ACV can be taken raw as both a filtered and unfiltered liquid, there could be some side effects to this when ingested on a daily basis, like tooth-enamel erosion or throat irritation in some people. Similarly, Gummies have been reported by some to leave a lingering ‘after-taste’ which are precisely the reasons Vitality Rocks natural, Apple Cider Vinegar + capsules have been developed; with no unwanted ‘fillers’ with their added, complimentary blend of synergistic herbs and nutrients like Turmeric, Ginger, Black Pepper and Chromium - these are an excellent way to aid promotion of ‘whole-body’ health.
