Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, is made by fermenting apples in a wood barrel. It can be a powerful,
healthy, weapon in your arsenal. It can help you battle a variety of illnesses and flush out toxins.

The truly useful apple cider vinegar is not the clear vinegar you find in many stores. There's no health
benefit from clear vinegar. The powerful benefits are found in the natural organic Apple Cider Vinegar
with a brownish tinge to it and floating stuff inside. The floating matter is called "mother" and is formed
from the pectin and apple residue. This brown vinegar is the one creating all the buzz, the one with the
minerals, amino acids and vitamins.¹

What's Good About Apple Cider Vinegar?

Several ingredients found in Apple Cider Vinegar serve to enhance its reputation as a true health benefit.
Calcium, iron, sodium, potassium, malic acid and pectin are several of the minerals which it has in
perfectly balanced amounts, which gets most people's attention.

• Potassium – to avoid runny nose, hair loss, brittle teeth

• Malic Acid – to fight infections from harmful bacteria and fungus
• Acetic Acid - accounts for the sour taste of vinegar; lowers the blood's pH levels thereby
creating an inhospitable intestinal environment for bacterial & fungal infections.² ³
• Pectin – facilitates regulation of blood pressure and removal of bad cholesterol

conditions, barn flies and fleas control, and helps them to have shiny coats.4
