8. Apple Cider Vinegar protects against harmful bacteria because it has antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal properties preventing the growth of harmful bacteria and fungus in our digestive tract. This property relevance resides in the fact that our gut is home to around 75% of our immune system. Acetic Acid kills harmful microbes and viruses, as well as pathogenic bacteria, such as Escherichia Coli, supporting microbiome and overall immune balance.
