What Are the Side Effects of Drinking ACV Every Day?

It's always recommended to go slow with drinks that contain apple cider vinegar. Besides the positive effects of apple cider vinegar, like any other food, it does come with precautions.

A recommended dosage of apple cider vinegar is 1–2 tablespoons daily. Since its acidic properties are quite prominent in a high concentration, it’s also recommended to, rather, consume the diluted version of it.

Some of the possible side effects if the daily consumption of apple cider vinegar exceeds the recommended amounts are:

• Tooth enamel erosion: Apple cider vinegar is fairly acidic, so it’s likely to react with your tooth enamel and gradually break it down if not diluted properly. You’ll also need to rinse your mouth with water after drinking vinegar drinks.
• Potential drug interactions: If you’re on medication, seek medical advice from your doctor to see if there are any negative drug interactions. As an acid, ACV may react with some laxatives, diuretics, and certain medications for diabetes and heart diseases.

Tips to Make

• Since honey doesn’t dilute very easily, you can consider stirring it with warm water first.
• If you don’t feel like making ginger juice, you can substitute it with ginger powder. We recommend using 1 tsp of ginger powder in place of 1 tbsp ginger juice. Dilute the powder in 2 tbsp of warm water first, then whisk to mix it with other liquid ingredients.
• The drink can last for the whole week in the fridge, so it’s a good idea to make a big batch and keep it all in the fridge. Simply mix it in a mason jar and you'll have it ready any time you feel like taking a sip. Remember to shake well before pouring.
