Apple Cider Vinegar

Scientists have measured ninety different substances in apple cider vinegar such as thirteen types of carbolic acids, four aldehydes, twenty ketones, eighteen types of alcohols, eighty ethyl acetates etc. It also contains important minerals, trace elements and vitamins as well as acetic acid, propionic acid, lactic acid, enzymes, amino acids as well as roughage in the form of potash and apple pectin.

Apple Cider Vinegar contains minerals and trace elements such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, chlorine, sodium, sulphur, copper, iron, silicon, and fluorine. Apple Cider Vinegar’s vitamin content includes Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, Provitamin beta-carotene, Vitamin P (bioflavonoid) Apple Cider Vinegar has been shown to improve the health of horses.

It reduces common infections, improves stamina, prevents muscle fatigue after equine exercise, and increases resistance to disease. Is rich in the vitamins, minerals and trace elements found in apples, especially potassium; it normalizes acid levels (pH) in the stomach, improves digestion and the assimilation of nutrients, reduces intestinal and fecial odours, helps cure constipation, alleviates some of the symptoms of arthritis and helps prevent bladder stones and urinary tract infections.

There is nothing beneficial about commercial distilled vinegars except for pickling, cleaning and disinfection. They have no health value! They do not contain the health values of organic, raw apple cider vinegar still intact and viable, Distilled white vinegar and cider vinegar sold in supermarkets are considered “dead” vinegars with none of the enzymes and other live factors that make raw, Unpasterized vinegars so valuable. Distilling removes the benefits from the vinegar, thereby, destroying the powerful enzymes and life giving minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, natural organic sodium, magnesium, sulphur, iron copper, natural organic fluorine, silicon, trace minerals, pectin and other powerful nutrients. Also destroyed are natural malic and tartaric acids, which are important in fighting body toxins and inhibiting unfriendly bacteria growth.

Apple Cider Vinegar could make any living thing healthier. I believe, Potassium, which is found in just the right amounts in natural apple cider vinegar is so essential to the life of every living thing, and that with out it there would be no life. Potassium is the most important of all minerals that are necessary for good health. Potassium’s main function is to promote cell, tissue and organism growth. It is necessary to replace dead cell, tissue. There is no better source of potassium than vinegar….particularly natural apple cider vinegar.

The acid nature of vinegar makes the digestive tract environment unpleasant for germs and fungus.

I believe that apple cider vinegar will lower bloods natural alkalinity, bringing it closer to a natural healthy acid state. A naturally acidic digestive tract digestive, with the correct pH balance, will discourage bacteria and is less likely to grow yeast and fungus. Apple Cider Vinegar can assist the natural process of breaking food in the stomach. The acidic qualities of ACV will help break down protein, in the digestive system, for absorption into the bloodstream.

Why Vinegar? Because it’s a naturally occurring antibiotic and antiseptic that fights germs and bacteria. For a healthier, stronger, longer life for our horses.
