Apple cider vinegar is produced in a two-stage process. In the first stage, the apple pulp is mixed with wheat, what causes the sugars fermentation and the alcohol formation. Then, the bacterium is added to the alcoholic solution, initiating the alcohol conversion into the acetic acid, the main active ingredient in vinegar.

Bragg apple vinegar is organic and unfiltered so it also contains so-called "the Mother" - a mixture of proteins, enzymes and bacteria valuable for the body, which gives the substance a slightly cloudy look. According to some people, the "Mother" is responsible for the majority of the apple cider vinegar therapeutic effects.

Antibacterial effect
Vinegar is helpful in the fight against the pathogenic microorganisms. Traditionally, it was used for cleansing and disinfection, treatment of mycosis, lice and ear infections. Already two thousand years ago, Hippocrates, the father of the modern medicine, used it to cleanse wounds.

This vinegar appeared to be very effective in glucose and insulin controlling. It improves the insulin sensitivity during a carbohydrate-rich meal by about 19-34%. Just two tablespoons of the apple cider vinegar at bedtime can reduce fasting glucose levels by 4%. It also reduces sugar levels by as much as 34% after consuming 50 grams of white bread.

Consumption of 15ml (one tablespoon) of vinegar resulted in the 1.2 kilograms loss, while 30 ml - 1.7 kilograms. However, it should be taken into the account that this study lasted for 3 months, and if we care about the significant effects, the apple cider vinegar should be an addition to the well-balanced diet.
