    I take it with 8-10oz of water. I can't say I notice a HUGE increase in metabolism but it helps me recover from a long workout. Plus I feel so much better overall. The trick is to get the *organic* apple cider vinegar. Don't buy the generic grocery store kind -- you will not see many benefits.

    Awesome! Drink it with a straw if you can. Heard it can be rough on your teeth if drinking daily. Funny how i hate apples but i love apple cider vinegar :)

    Yupp, I use the organic ACV with the mother daily. I also use it topically and in my hair. Here is a little blog about some of the other benefits of ACV, http://www.eatingbirdfood.com/2012/02/health-benefits-of-apple-cider-vinegar-acv/

    It has helped me with acid reflux and also water retention. I take 1 tsp in 8 oz warm water in the morning. Recently after long flight from overseas, I had swelling in my feet and legs. I drank more water but it only helped temporarily and the swelling would return at the end of the day. I took the apple cider vinegar one night and the swelling was gone and never returned.

    I use it to curb the onset of sinus infections. It's a great natural "antibiotic" so to speak. Not so great once the sinus infection has already taken hold though. I have never noticed any change in my metabolism from it.

    Yes!!! I love Bragg's. Their liquid aminos is delicious too, great replacement for soy sauce or a nice treat on popcorn with some nutritional yeast flakes.

    I only use it when I have really bad stomach aches/the stomach flu. It is amazing at helping you keep things down. Don't know that I could drink it everyday though. But the organic unpasteurized kind is way less harsh than the regular stuff in the store.

    Tried it once - GAG!! It comes in pill form - available at GNC. Maybe I'll try that.
