Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is used as popular home remedies. Like apple cider vinegar, ACV tablets may also help you to get rid of several health issues like lowering cholesterol, relieving digestion, preventing infections, acne etc. Yet, very few researches have proved the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar tablets.
Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar Tablets
Lowering Cholesterol
According to one of the reports in earthclinic.com, Apple Cider Vinegar has helped lower the total cholesterol level from 288 to 226 after consuming it for around two months. [1]. Alternatively, if you do not like the flavor of apple cider vinegar, you can consume apple cider vinegar tablets and still gather the benefits. But make sure to buy good quality ACV pills to ensure the effectiveness and reliability of the pectin and acetic acid which are the cholesterol maintaining compounds. [2]
Relieve digestive problems
Unprocessed and raw apple cider vinegar is full of enzymes and acids that boost digestive health. As mentioned in natural news.com, Earl Mindell, M.D., discovered that apple cider vinegar helps to ease digestive problems like heartburn irritable bowel syndrome.[3]
Cure Arthritis
Apple cider vinegar is full of minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. Mineral insufficiency can deteriorate joint pain. Especially, the potassium in the cider vinegar may be beneficial because it works to put off calcium increase in the joints, which is associated to joint stiffness. Apple cider vinegar can be consumed in various form, including tablets, to cure arthritis.[4] But, it’s not acknowledged whether consuming Apple Cider Vinegar can give same result.
For sinusitis
Apple cider vinegar holds a range of nutrition including vitamins E, B1, B2, A, calcium, as well as magnesium. These components help to cure allergy symptoms and clear the sinus. Noticeably, as you drink apple cider vinegar, the color of your mucus become thin and clear from greenish white and thick color. When the mucus becomes thinner, it is the major sign of sinus infection healing. [5] Alternately, we can take ACV in the form of tablets to get rid of sinus infection. [6]
For weight loss
In a study, a group of people were served bread with ACV vinegar, and the other half of people was just nursed with bread with no vinegar added. The group of people who ate bread with the vinegar felt their stomach full than the counter parts that were fed only bread. In another study conducted by Dr. Elin Ostman confirmed that those who drank ACV before or during meals had a less increase in insulin and glucose level which contributed in weight loss. [7] Yet, there are no proper researches that ACV tablets can have same effects to lose weight.
Leg cramps
Margaret Hills, author of Cider Vinegar and State Registered Nurse, claims that to prevent leg cramps consume dairy-free food, lots of green salads or water mixed with two teaspoon of apple cider vinegar twice on a daily basis. Diluted ACV can aid in dissolving acid crystals in blood. It also supplies calcium, potassium, and other vital minerals to the body to relieve cramps.

Sore throat
Apple cider vinegar contains a range of necessary vitamins and nutrients which helps boost immune system and maintain the pH level in the body. It is also effective for treating sore throat problem. [10] The anti- bacterial properties present in ACV tabletshelps get rid of the infection that cause sore throat. Yet, experts advise consulting health professionals before consuming apple cider vinegar pills.
Dosage to consume
The University of Arkansas recommends consuming 300 mg to 500 mg apple cider vinegar supplements three times a day. But, some brands may have different quantity of acetic acid than is shown on their packaging which may burn your throat or cause ulcers. [11]
Caution
According to a report published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association in 2005, when an apple cider vinegar capsule caused an esophageal injury, experiments were done to review apple cider vinegar pill’s acidity, pH of several brands and microbial content. The research discovered a wide range of inconsistency in all three components. Therefore, before adding apple cider vinegar tablets to your daily routine get some advices from your doctor. [12]
