These Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are an accumulation of inquiries we received from our customers and general research. Our intention is to provide information to give you the optimum experience with Body Ami Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Products.
What are the major components of Apple Cider Vinegar and what do they do?
Some of the minerals ACV contains include calcium, iron, sodium, potassium, malic acid and pectin.
Calcium – maintains strong bones
Potassium – important for tissue and arteries
Malic Acid – to fight infections from harmful bacteria and fungus
Acetic Acid - lowers the blood's pH levels to help protect against disease
Pectin –aids in blood pressure stabilization and flushing out bad cholesterol
How does Apple Cider Vinegar work on the body’s pH?
When used on a daily basis, ACV can restore and balance the body's pH from acidic to neutral. It seems unlikely for an acidic substance to be able to normalize, or lower our pH. However, the digestive system naturally converts it to an alkaline-based substance. An acidic internal system is is a growing ground for illness and disease. An alkaline system promotes well-being.
How do you describe Body Ami Apple Cider Vinegar?
Our products are made from organically grown apples provided from certified growers in the USA. It has a cloudy sediment on the bottom of each bottle known as the "mother" or the "veil". Only unpasteurized and unfiltered ACV contains this nutritional element.

Yes, it’s the most nutritious part of ACV and is safe, in fact, beneficial to drink.
What is the recommended amount to drink?
We start each day with 1 Tablespoon of organic Body Ami ACV mixed in an 8 oz. glass of water or sparkling water. We also enjoy a refresher drink before lunch and dinner made with 2 teaspoons in 8 oz. water. Everyone is unique, so you may need to try different drinks to see what fits best with your lifestyle but it’s best to drink 2 to 6 teaspoons per day.
When is the best time to drink it?
While it's best to take ACV first thing in the morning or before each meal, you can also take it anytime your stomach is upset. People who drink ACV before each meal have told us that they have suppressed appetite and have seen moderate weight loss. It is believed that the weight loss benefits are attributed to the fact that that ACV may help to speed up the body’s metabolism.

Why does Body Ami cost more than regular apple cider vinegar from the market?

Body Ami products include premium apple cider vinegar cured locally, and superfruit juices high in antioxidants from Brazil, Tibet and Southeast Asia. This formula for health is still affordable and well worth the price.
What does the Organic Certification Mean?
Body Ami products are certified by the CCOF, the Certified California Organic Farmers.
I heard that drinking Vinegar could affect on the enamel on your teeth. Is that true?
It’s true that acid may have an affect on tooth enamel including citrus fruits and vinegar. That’s one of the reasons we recommend always diluting ACV with water. If you notice any sensitivity you can rinse your mouth after drinking too. We don’t recommend brushing your teeth right away. One of the best testimonials is that our dentist drinks Body Ami at least once a day.
There is much talk about Apple Cider Vinegar being a great remedy for Acid Reflux. How can an acid help an acid condition?
Your stomach needs acid to digest food and when you have digestive problems like acid reflux or heartburn it's not because you have too much acid it's because there is too little. ACV will simulate your stomach’s acid and aid in proper digestion while reducing or eliminating heartburn. Most people reach for antacids and don’t realize that they actually reduce the amount of acid in your stomach. Instead, try drinking 1 Tablespoon of Body Ami ACV mixed with 8 oz water before each meal.
How long will it be until I feel the benefits?
Of course, everyone is different and results will vary based on your condition prior to starting on a regular program. You may begin to feel the benefits in right away or within weeks. Make a commitment to try drinking our product consistently, every morning for 21 days. If you stay true to this routine you may be well on your way to a healthful well-being.
