Apple Cider Vinegar as a Functional Ingredient

Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine” was using apple cider vinegar as far back as 400BC for various purposes, and all for good reason. Fast forward a few thousand years……

COVID-19 has made an increasing number of consumers more aware of how functional ingredients in foods and beverages can help support a healthy immune system. As 70% of your immune system lives in your gut, keeping this environment healthy and functioning properly is a good place to start. According to Innova Market Insights, ongoing anxiety stemming from Covid-19 will encourage consumers to prioritize their immune health. In numbers, 60% of global consumers are now seeking out food and beverages that will support their immune health, with one in three experiencing heightened concern in 2020 vs PY. This number is expected only to continue in growth.

This is where apple cider vinegar comes in to play its part. Recent studies point to both the acetic acid and the “Mother” as the cure-all ingredients in apple cider vinegar due to the powerful antimicrobial properties of the acetic acid and the friendly gut healing flora of the “Mother”. It’s the acetic acid that helps us maintain healthy weight levels and support our blood glucose and cholesterol levels, which in turn helps in sustaining even energy and preventing fatigue. Rapid fluctuation of blood sugar levels is not only dangerous in diabetics, it also makes levels of anxiety a lot worse for the rest of us. Which is why those looking for a healthier overall wellbeing are turning towards added functional ingredients in the foods and beverages they already buy.
