How to pick the right apple cider vinegar?

Remember, not all apple cider vinegar available in the market are effective. The reason is simple – if the vinegar has been pasteurized or filtered of its natural mother of vinegar content – it is just a sour amber liquid without any healthy goodness. You need to be very careful while picking and choosing your apple cider vinegar.

Here is a checklist you must follow to ensure that you are getting the real deal:

• Is your chosen apple cider vinegar raw?
• Is your chosen apple cider vinegar unfiltered?
• Is your chosen apple cider vinegar unpasteurized?

Does it have a genuine mother of vinegar content (visible as cloudiness and floating strands in the bottle) of at least 3 %?

If your chosen brand ticks no on any of these, it is not worth your money. And obviously, it will not deliver the benefits you are looking for.

We recommend WOW Apple Cider Vinegar. Made from finest quality Himalayan apples’ juice in a hi-tech plant in the Himalayan foothills, it is totally raw, unfiltered, unpasteurized and contains 4% genuine mother of vinegar content.
