A pple Cider Vinegar Detox Drink — Cleanse and boost your energy with this apple cider vinegar detox drink recipe. Drinking a cup in the morning will allow you to absorb nutrients quickly, get your digestive system moving, and improve your quality of life!

Photo credit: © Eatwell To make the apple cider vinegar detox drink: Boil water in a saucepan, then turn off the heat. Allow the water to cool down a bit then mix all ingredients together and stir well. When I ingest even the smallest amt.

of cinnamon, my throat starts to close and I get walloped with giant hives. Yes, I am post-menopausal. It sounds like you have an allergy to cinnamon. It sounds like you need to carry an Epipen.

I suggest that you contact your M. to ask for a referral to an allergist. I am on a restricted carb diet at the moment and was wondering how many carbs per glass with the Stevia sweetener. Axe, I finished the Day Secret Detox last month.

I still like to take the Secret Detox drink first thing in the morning. I noticed that the recipe in the Day Secret Detox Plan is different from the one you published online. I just wanted to point it out or maybe somebody else has commented on the recipe differences. I must say by adding the cinnamon, it sure makes getting the drink down a whole lot nicer!

Thank you for all that you do! I have tried lemon water acv before but never really stuck to it. After the 4th week I will tex my bp numbers. Before I even read this post I had made myself a warm lemon, ACV, honey drink for my sore throat this morning. especially the antifungal properties, and that Lemon is very good for detoxifying the LIVER, etc.

with all of this…. I feel like I got a huge pat on the back. I like your blog because you refer me to The Food Babe and I got a lot of knowledge from her..

The amount of caffeine in the formula is extremely small. Remember — oil and water do not mix! At drops, as Dr Axe suggests, you get a very concentrated dose! Will this shrink uterine fibroids? Do you have other natural remedies for women who suffer with fibroids?

My GYN gave me the worst scenario of having surgery. Hi, Duran! You should look into uterine fibroid embolization. Totally worked for me. I became anemic due to the heavy bleeding I was having and my gynecologist referred me to an interventional radiologist and he performed a procedure that stops the blood flow to the fibroids and they shrink down and cause no further issues.

It was life-changing for me! Is it 2 tablespoons of the vinegar and lemon? seems like alot and the drink on the braggs bottle says 2 teaspoons. Anyhow, I did do tablespoons…drinking now, looking to improve overall health, do a light detox and lose about lbs.

How do you get the cinnamon and pepper to mix in? I have tried mixing for 10 minutes but it never seems to really mix into the water.

It just puddles at the top of the glass and makes it tough to drink. I have just gone to ACV, lemon juice and honey because it all mixes together smoothly.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. How many drops of Lemon Essential Oil equals one tablespoon? I have read 8 drops. Is that correct? If so, then I would have to add 16 drops of Lemon Oil. Thank you. Is there going to be a detriment to doing this until I get the ceylon?

Also when I blended it, it was very foamy, is that normal. It was quite tasty, so I do want to continue if the cinnamon is ok to use for a week or so before I get the Ceylon.

Should the ACV be unfiltered or do you get the same benefit if not it is cheaper and easier to find regular ACV? Is it OK to keep taking a daily pro-biotic Align if I am having two of these drinks a day? Unfiltered is always better! You can absolutely keep taking a probiotic. And yes, I do recommend raw honey.

Sprouted chia seeds have been soaked for a time to allow the phytic acid to die off. This unlocks the nutrients in the chia and allows the body to utilize them. I always recommend sprouted seeds if possible. Probably not. Typically its the amount of ACV you are using or the cayenne.

Try using small amounts of each to let your body get used it them. Does this means my body is detoxifying? I also notice that i i do not take a shower righ after, i will get a bladder infection.

I easily take care of bladder infections by drinking all natural coconut water. Please provide your comments. Thank you :. I have multiple questions.

First, I have started Trim Healthy Mama and they state not to use Honey as it raises blood sugar levels and can interfere with glycemic levels? I had already ordered the Wedderspoon you recommended to use occasionally…I do not want to if it will interfere with weight loss, so I have been using it on my daughters acne for an overnight treatment?

I am afraid to put on weight as I have been low carb for quite awhile now. I thought I had read that you preferred to limit the bread to very sparingly? I use most of your products as far as supplements, protein powders, etc, but I am confused at the different point of views.

I respect your opinion and do your burst training and i love it and your recipes, but I do want to be doing what is best for me and my health and I also have been extremely bloated and gassy..

sorry tmi but it is embarrassing and uncomfortable…it is from my body changing the way I eat? maybe to much fiber? Do you feel switching my fuels as far as fats and carbs can be a great lifestyle plan and possible help me loose this 10 lbs I want to get rid of?

All info you give me is MUCH appreciated and your time as well! I think small amounts of healthy carbohydrates like those listed are fine in moderation. I would make sure you are getting adequate amounts of protein, consuming lots of vegetables and add in burst training times each week.

Lol my question is I used the real lemon concentrate from grocery store and saw that there are dome additives…. should I be using something else? Thx in advance…. happy detoxing all…. I take a thyroid naturethroid med first thing about 30 min before breakfast.

Will this drink interfere with this med? Hi I take glutamine 1st thing in the morning for leaky gut do u recommend the acv drink before taking the glutamine?

Enjoying this drink. Question on the photo with the ingredients for the detox shows pure organic brand cinnamon. Can you confirm this? The first few days I had a headache after drinking it which encouraged me because I knew the detox was working.

But the past several days my throat started hurting. I kept drinking, but cut out the pepper to see if that helped. Then I cut the amount of ACV to one tbs. But this morning it hurts to swallow.

The pain is in the tonsil area. I must add that your website and the help you give to others is to be admired.

I follow your advice in many things and it has only improved my life. So thank you for all that you are doing! did wrong. And the pain med i have to take causes constipation I really need to lose 60 lbs so I can start to have a little better life even though I have the severe nerve damage I know I have to live with for the rest of my life cause they say nothing else can be done.

Please help me lose 60lbs Thank You. Which recipe for your secret detox drink is most current? But, have purchased 28 day detox and see coconut water version with no ginger or cinnamon. Please advise, want fastest results. Thank you! Is this OK to drink if I suffer with symptoms of IBS due to stress?

Also I have interstitial cystitis, will it cause either of these to flare up? Most people do great with it. Start with small amounts and see how your body does with it.

If this has been asked and answered, I apologize. I agree with Tracy, you are so patient with all of the repeated quesitons! Can you tell me how many drops of cinnamon oil would be used in this? I agree with Krista. You are patient to re-answer the same questions so many times!

I will be trying this, starting today. Thank you Dr. Can you make this drink with very hot water and drink it like a tea, or will the almost boiling water have a negative effect on the drink?

Wow Dr. Josh, you really do have the patience of a saint! I cannot believe how many times you answered the exact same questions and posted the exact same links. I have severe IBS due to Fibro and Lupus, have severe RA as well is this going to aggravate my conditions worse, I developed IBS after my gallbladder was removed.

I tend to think about taking this in a small shot drinking then drinking water. Any ideas on the safety if this. I am on disability so is this going to cost me a fortune to use on a regular basis.

I would consult with your physician regarding medications you may be on and doing this. I am allergic to lemon, lime, oranges. Is there something i can use instead in the detox drink.

I am also allergic to cayenne and other peppers. I notice that you made some modifications on your menu,,, is there a reason why you changed the ACV and Lemon juice from 2 TBSP to 1?

I wanted to say thank you for this mission you have to share with us all!!! How many drops of lemon oil do I use? Can I have it warm? It is not bad tastings at all i just like warm drinks. Stir before drinking, aye! It was chunks of everything floating on top.

So dummy me put it in the microwave just for thirty seconds in hopes it would dissolve. So how in the world does one get it to dissolve? Oh, btw, I have found you all so helpful with a chock full of info.

Thanks a bunch! I was wondering if this is still effective in males and is it safe for teens of 14 and 16 to consume and is it healthy to consume cayenne pepper in pill from?

It should be fine in pill form but could be very potent. Because all the ingredients in this drink are real food, it should be fine for them to consume but I would consult with your physician.

It gave me diarrhea. Is it supposed to do that? Or just at the beginning because I am detoxing? I did it as a shot. Oh, Zoe, I dunno but I think someone said not to enjoy it hot because it breakdowns SOMETHING maybe in the vinegar?

hi dr, how much good bacteria or probotics is in a glass of acv with water? Im asking because no other website will tell me and im drinking it for the good bacterias.

I love the stuff I drink it 3x everyday and follow the instructions on the bottle. Can you please tell me what type of cayenne to use…ie… Oil, pepper if so just regular cayenne powder from grocery or a specific type….

also what about using coconut oil? Thanks in advance…. This is the coconut oil and cayenne I use and recommend: Coconut Oil found here Cayenne found here. Do you have to use Braggs ACV or can you use any brand?

I also want to know would SUE BEE honey work? Coconut vinegar is also a good option. Just make sure it is raw and unfiltered.

I recommend using raw honey. Is it okay if i add chia seed and green tea minus the cinnamon to this drinks and drink it through out the day as and when, just like what we used to do to plain water and will it still produce the same benefit to the body. My son is diagnosed with autism spectrum dis order when he was injected withis MMR vaccine when he was just Will this work for him as a detoxifier in removing the mercury that was injected from his system?

Thank you so much for all the information. I am eager to try this recipe my resolution. I have bought a Stevia from Walmart and I noticed that there are other ingredients besides Stevia are those other ingredients ok for you and is this some kind of refined Stevia should I even use it.

MUCH tastier when its hot if anyone is wondering! Flecadine to control. Mixed in the individual bottles. The flavor was similar to wassail. Looking forward to increased health. Do you see any issues for me? Will I still get a benefit from drinking the rest of the ingredients?

Hello Dr. Or should I increase the amounts? Thank you for your help! I am a busy single father working full time so I like a quick breakfast beverage to go. Would consuming this detox drink before my fatty tea interfere with any of the benefits I get with my tea or be a problem if not having a meal till about mid day?

Thanks so much in advance for your response!! Thank you so much for your wonderful advice! I tried the detox drink this morning using less water hoping I could get it down quickly without the taste lingering and immediately vomited it back up.

Can you think of any reason why this would happen? Try decreasing the amount of the drink. Start with a very small amount and increase gradually over time to allow your body and stomach to get used to the acidity.

This is very good advice. I did this for the last two years. A little different recipe but it gave me good health. Axe for all your healthy ideas and help. At the present I am doing Coconut oil pulling followed by my lemon, ginger and warm water drink. It helps my gut and my mouth. I am going to start my old recipe again.

I think I quit it because of the acid in my mouth. I was worried it would hurt my teeth. But I felt so much better. Damn, I hit enter too quickly or something.

Hope you are doing good bud. I randomly stumbleuponed your website. If I can only take your probiotics or your Green Super Food, which one would you recommend? It depends on the person and what their diet is like.

If they are eating lots of probiotic rich foods and drinking coffers and fermented beverages then I would do greens. If they are getting lots of diverse vegetables frequently in their diet but no probiotics, I would consider the greens.

It also depends on health concerns as well…Both are great! i have gout and thyroid and currently on medication Euthyrom 50mg daily , thought this drink will help me reduce weight, please advise if it is recommended given my health conditions.

Try decreasing the amount of cinnamon in your recipe. Is it OK to prepare large quantities to take along for busy days or should it be prepared in small doses? is it okay to do a colon cleanse and this detox at the same time? are there any affects or do you have any kind of recommendation.

im really trying to loose weight i just had my daughter about 3 months ago and i want this baby weight off any suggestions. Would this amount of cinnamon be alright if you have been diagnosed with advanced estrogen positive breast cancer?

I found this formula minus the cinnamon which I will now incorporate elsewhere on the internet and began drinking it a week or so ago. I just found your site and am amazed at your patience and dedication to getting the correct info out to all who inquire.

I am fortunate to have a great store nearby that carries healthy products and found organic, non gmo, not from concentrate lemon juice which is much easier than squeezing lemons : and less expensive also.

I only have one question — I take Klonapin for anxiety and wondered if this drink could effect that. What is your professional opinion of SAMe?

Oops thats two questions….. Thank you for all you offer to those who want to live a healthy and natural lifestyle. Thanks for taking the time to read this and for any suggestions you might have for me.

I would consult with your physician about the specifics of it. Can you use cinnamon essential oil instead of the powders and is there an essential oil to use instead of cayenne pepper?

Can I drink this as a shot. Will I get the same effects? This was very good. I made up 6 more mason jars and stuck them in the refrigerator. I just got a bullet juicer just for this purpose. Has done amazing things for my whole system to elimination.

Namaste and care, mhikl. Hi Dr. Axe, I have 3 auto immune diseases, Sarcoidosis, Sjogrens and RA. From what I have read, I need something for inflammation.

Would this recipe help with inflammation or is there something else you would recommend? The ACV does help with sinus drainage, which seems to be very bothersome for me. Thank you so much for your help. I think working on healing your gut would be beneficial.

I would also consider doing the GAPS diet. You stated to use Braggs ACV can regular ACV be used instead. Dr Axe, I was reading one of your articles and the emphasis was put on eating fish.

Can you recommend something else as I am allergic to fish. Quality oils? What does that mean? Can I get those at a local supermarkets?

Can I opt out on the cayenne pepper? Can I use any artificial sweeteners? Email me at [email protected] for the oils I recommend. I do not recommend consuming oils purchased at a store. You can opt out of the cayenne if you prefer and I do not recommend using artificial sweeteners.

Try raw honey or stevia. Thank you for your answer on the lemon. As a California girl I do have great access to fresh organic lemons. I have an additional question which you may have addressed.

I am sorry if I missed it. Two tablespoons of honey a day seems like a lot of sugar. I understand the health benefits of this honey but blood sugar elevation is blood sugar elevation. Clearly you do not feel a concern. Could you explain. Thanks Judy.

If you are concerned about blood sugar, you can use stevia instead. Otherwise, manuka honey could be a great addition!

I love to drink ACV with half of squeezed lemon but I have always done so in hot water. I am going to try this recipe but want to know if it is a problem to use hot water? But drinking it hot is better then nothing!

Axe, is there any problem adding 1 tsp chlorella to this mixture? Or a drop or 2 of frankincense EO? You picture bottled lemon juice. Is that your recommendation? If so why would you recommend that instead of fresh lemon?

Also the cinnamon pictured is the same one that I buy at whole foods but you recommend Ceylon how important is that recommendation? any suggesstions? This can be normal. Typically your hunger will return after minutes or your hunger was actually thirst.

This is terrible tasting. I made it exactly as directed. took a sip with a straw and it was horrible but I wanted to push forward and see if I could come to tolerate it since I had a similar thought when I first tried kale. However, after the first sip of this that almost made me gag, I waited about two mins and took another, a bigger sip but not anywhere near a mouthful and it was bad.

I still pushed forward and after a few more minutes I took another drink but this time I gagged and almost puked. I ended up accidently spitting it out and then almost puking again.

I wish I could drink this or even add something to it so it tastes even half better since I was wanting to see if this would have any benefits for me but I jus cant.

Ive never even had medicine make me almost puke. Do what I did as a child — hold my nose and drink it down, then drink 2 ounces water to wash down taste.

Hope this helps. Can the Apple cider vinegar detox be pre made? Not in a large amount just 1 at a time like the night before. I just happened to stumble onto this site and I am very happy I did. Please tell me, what is your recommendation regarding sweetners for this detox drink for those of us who are type 2 diabetics?

I love this and has become a part of my daily routine. Is this safe to drink while on Methimazole for an overactive thyroid? The meds have slowed my metabolism down and I am experiencing weight gain, so looking for methods to counteract this. Every ingredient in the drink is a real food but I would consult with your physician.

Can this have an effect on birth control pills? I usually take mine at weird times to avoid being near when I take my vitamins. I believe alot of people are confusing this daily detox to the 10 day master cleanse.

The ingredient mixture is quite similar, but as you have clearly stated numerous times this is a daily detox drink, to be consumed as a part of a natural healthy diet. Do you ever get tired of answering the same question over and over again? If people would simply read the initial comments posted, then most their questions would be answered.

hi there : wondering how far in advance I can make this can I make a jug and pour a glass each morning or does it have to be freshly made? It should be fine to make a head of time. Just keep it refrigerated and mix well before pouring a glass.

What is the most effective way you suggest? Either way is great! Just give yourself enough time the 20 minutes between finishing the drink and starting a meal. Could the apple cider vinegar be replaced with something else? Or could I just mix the other ingredients together and drink that? Would this be beneficial for someone with IBS.

Im looking forward to transforming my body after my first baby. Thank you for your time I would focus on doing smoothies with protein in them and eating real food! There are some great smoothie ideas in the recipe section! I actually buy the powdered slimfast shake and then mix it with almond milk or coconut milk, is it still horrible?

Not trying to be redundant just wanted to be clear. Also, is there a particular smoothie you recommend to aid in weight loss? No, I do not recommend that product regardless.

I would do my secret detox drink 20 minutes before each meal. I have only had this a few times I drink it unsweetened , but now I am craving it, especially in the morning. Is it safe to drink it more than three times a day? I read a post that said she use cinnamon and lemon essential oils.

But not the amounts. What amounts would you recommend as I have them on hand and would like to try using them. I would try drops of each but would use caution when ingesting oils, there are only a few that I recommend. This sounds like the magic combination I have been looking for.

Can I find these ingredients at my local grocery or whole foods store? I have gastritis that is being treated with omeprezole for over a year. I started drinking this detox today and I am finding this is aggravating my gastritis after the second one. Will this eventually get better or is it not recommended for people with gastritis?

I would try doing a smaller amount of the ACV and lemon juice, about 1 tsp and see how your body does with it. After time, you can slowly increase the amount you use as your body gets used to the acidity.

Hi, I wanted to use this recipe in order to loose weight. Will this help me loose a lot of weight and how many pounds will i start loosing per week?

However, I have had many patients notice that this helps them eat correct portions when they drink it before a meal and see different beneficial health changes. I have been taking ACV with hot water and found it to be effective, so was interested in the comment about hot water affecting how the ACV works.

Is this true? Is cold water better than hot? Cold water is preferred because hot water may effect some of the enzymes in the ACV but hot water is better then nothing! You can definitely refrigerate it and add in turmeric. I have atrophic gastritis due to having pernicious anaemia….

would this drink cause any problems with that due to the acidity of the lemon juice and ACV?? I would just start off with using a very small amount of ACV, like 1 tsp. As your body gets used to the acidity of the drink you can increase the amount and see how your body responds. Do not use if you are currently taking licorice root, thiazide diuretics, corticosteroids, or drugs that may aggravate electrolyte imbalance.

Do not use if you have abnormal constrictions of the gastrointestinal tract, potential or existing intestinal blockage, atonic bowel, appendicitis, inflammatory colon disease e.

Hypersensitivity, such as allergy, is known to occur; in which case, discontinue use. Discontinue use if you develop signs of liver trouble such as abdominal pain, dark urine or jaundice. Consumption with alcohol, other drugs or natural health products with sedative properties is not recommended.

Do not take if pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep out of reach of children. Do not exceed recommended dose. Do not use within 2 hours of other medications. Overuse may cause dependence for bowel function. Discontinue use if you develop diarrhea.
