Get the ACV "with the mother," which is that floating stuff in it.  The "mother" is the source of the good stuff!

It can upset some people's tummy, so if that happens, take it with food.  Try it without first (but it's not all that important).  I put 1 tablespoon in about 3-4 tablespoons of water and drink this 2 times a day.  You can do more or less.

Also, be aware that ACV is corrosive to teeth.  So after you drink it, swish a little water around your mouth to rinse it off your teeth (or brush your teeth).

Answer 2

Personally, I make a 50/50 mixture of organic ACV and organic honey, then take 2 tbs of it 2 x a day. I also take it for heartburn and indigestion. One other effect I noticed it has on me is that my always cold and clammy hands and feet warm up after taking it twice a day for a few days. Its best taken before or during a meal to aid in digestion due to its acidity, but taking it after is ok too.

Answer 3

i normally take one first thing in the morning when getting up then have some porridge and take a second one after i have eaten breakfast.
