Always mix 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 8 ounces of water. This ensures the teeth are protected from enamel erosion and prevents throat irritation.

Possible adverse effects can arise if you don't take the proper precautions. I experienced burns in my throat from drinking straight vinegar early in my use. Also, continuous use may cause a potassium deficiency that can induce muscle cramps, so it is always best to remain vigilant with symptoms and to start and stop vinegar use at any time.
Be particularly careful with medication interactions. Vinegar may magnify the effects of diabetes medications, potentially resulting in dangerously low blood sugar levels. Combining diuretics with ACV could lead to life-threatening electrolyte imbalances. Consult your doctor before incorporating vinegar into your regular diet.
Choosing the right quality makes a tremendous impact on safety. Select a raw organic vinegar containing 5-6% acetic acid content. Dark glass bottles reduce the potential for chemical leaching. Ensure that appropriate certifications are present to prevent contaminants that may pose health risks.
Apply these guidelines for everyday usage being safe. Provide attention to your body's reactions, mainly during the first month. If you notice discomfort or any other response has begun to occur, change the amount you are using. Speaking with a qualified medical professional can establish your own parameters for safe usage.
