Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has been taken for centuries for its medicinal properties. People take it to help manage their weight, to control their blood sugar, to boost their immune system, and to speed their overall rate of healing. Another use of ACV is to improve heart health. There are several ways that apple cider vinegar can do so, and we'll look at those below.
Because ACV's main ingredient is acetic acid, it has a strong, bitter flavor when taken in liquid form. That's why Nutratrek has developed our all-natural, organic Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies. Our ACV gummies are a delicious, apple-flavored alternative to drinking liquid apple cider vinegar. They contain all the nutrients and goodness of unfiltered apple cider vinegar because they contain the real “mother,” which is where the nutrients are found. Plus, we keep our AVC gummies affordable, as you can see in this chart comparing our prices to a couple of our competitors'.

The Lipid Profile and Heart Health
A lipid profile measures the four types of fat, or lipids, in your blood. This includes total cholesterol, HDL (“good” cholesterol), LDL (“bad” cholesterol), and triglycerides (also not good). HDL is good cholesterol because it eliminates excess cholesterol in the body by transporting it to target organs where it is needed. LDL, on the other hand, increases the concentration of cholesterol in your body, leading to plaques and heart disease formation. For optimal health, you must have more HDL than LDL.
Excess body fat is stored as triglycerides, which are broken down and used for energy production when you fast. Triglycerides and cholesterol combine to form plasma lipids, which are deposited along the walls of the blood vessels. Excess triglycerides can cause harm to the liver and the heart.
A high lipid profile is bad for heart health. People who are especially at risk for high lipid profiles are those who:
- Smoke cigarettes
- Drink heavily
- Are overweight or obese
- Have a family history of heart disease or high cholesterol
- Lead sedentary or inactive lifestyles
- Have chronic conditions such as diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, kidney disease, or an underactive thyroid gland
How can I use apple cider vinegar for heart health?
Heart disease is one of the primary causes of death in the United States. There are several factors that increase a person's risk for heart disease. Apple cider vinegar has been shown to improve several of these factors.
Studies suggest that apple cider vinegar has the potential to lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels, which can lower the risk of heart disease. Atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, is another risk for heart disease, and animal studies have indicated that ACV can reduce the likelihood of this condition. Studies have also shown that ACV can reduce obesity, which is another risk factor for heart disease. High blood pressure is another primary risk factor for both heart disease and kidney problems, and studies have indicated that ACV lowers blood pressure. Finally, a 2012 study published in the Life Science Journal tracked people with hyperlipidemia (high lipid profiles) over an eight-week period and found that the consumption of apple cider vinegar caused a significant reduction in harmful blood lipids.
All of these studies suggest that ACV may be recommended as a simple, natural, cost-effective treatment for hyperlipidemia, or as a way to improve a person's heart health.
