Here’s what you need to know about apple cider vinegar and mineral absorption.
In this podcast, we’re going to talk about apple cider vinegar and mineral absorption. Yes, apple cider vinegar may help with mineral absorption, but I want to explain a few things about this.
Normally, in your stomach, you have a very acidic acid called hydrochloric acid. The pH of your stomach should be between 1-3. There are three main things your stomach acid is supposed to do.
1. It helps you break down protein
2. It helps kill pathogens
3. It helps with mineral absorption
Having the right amount of acid in your stomach can make minerals more bioavailable. If you don’t have enough stomach acid, then the absorption of certain minerals won’t be as efficient. We need this strong acid in the stomach to help absorb nutrients.
These minerals can include:
• Calcium
• Iron
• Magnesium
• Zinc
• Copper
• Cobalt

| 0:21.6 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Had some questions about stomach acid and mineral absorption. If |
| 0:49.4 | absolute vinegar was the best thing to take if you want to improve mineral absorption. |
| 0:52.8 | So I wanted to create a video just on this one topic. And yes, it can help you, but I need to explain a couple little points about |
| 0:59.6 | this. So normally in your stomach, you have a very, very acidic acid called hydrochloric acid. |
| 1:05.8 | The pH should be between one and three. Now think about it. Neutral is seven. So every number that goes below seven, |
| 1:14.1 | you go seven, six, five, four, three, two, one is ten times is acid. So if we compare six to seven, |
| 1:22.2 | six would be ten times more acid. Five would be ten times more acid than six. So it compounds. So when you get down to |
| 1:31.8 | these lower numbers, you have a very, very acidic acid. And this is normal. There's three main |
| 1:37.3 | things that your stomach acid is supposed to do. Number one, it's supposed to help you break down |
| 1:41.7 | protein. Okay. So if you don't have the acid, you can't break |
| 1:46.2 | down the protein. It starts to putify. You get undigested protein. Number two, it helps kill |
| 1:53.6 | pathogens from invading the body. So if you eat food with some microbes, guess what? That |
| 2:00.0 | stomach is there to kill off the pathogens. And if you can't with some microbes, guess what? That stomach is there to kill off the pathogen's. |
| 2:03.8 | And if you can't kill them off, they can invade the body |
| 2:05.8 | and you can create all sorts of infections in the colon. |
| 2:10.9 | It's kind of part of the immune system. |
| 2:13.4 | And number three, and this is the topic |
| 2:15.6 | that we're discussing now, it helps mineral absorption. |
| 2:19.7 | So having the right amount of acid in your stomach can make minerals more bioavailable. |
