What it is
A 2024 review of 9 trials found modest reductions in blood sugar and body weight (about 1.2 kg over 12 weeks), but the effects are small. Liquid vinegar can erode tooth enamel and irritate the throat, so capsules are a safer option. Take with meals to reduce stomach irritation. Not a replacement for proper diet and exercise.

Time of day & tips
Take capsules with meals — never on an empty stomach. Avoid liquid vinegar form as it erodes tooth enamel. Take with a full glass of water.
