What About Apple Cider Vinegar?
Apple cider vinegar is one of the most common ingredients in viral digestive drinks.
It is often mixed with water and taken before meals or bedtime.
Claims include that it can:
Improve digestion
Reduce bloating
“Balance stomach acid”
Prevent reflux
Support bowel movements
The evidence for most of these claims is weak.
Vinegar has been studied more for its effects on blood glucose after meals than for treating digestive disorders.
It may also worsen heartburn or stomach irritation in some people because it is acidic.
