2. Possible uses and benefits of apple cider vinegar pills
There is very little research on the effects of apple cider vinegar pills. The benefits of apple cider vinegar pills are believed to be based on studies looking at the composition of apple cider vinegar or acetic acid as the main active compound of apple cider vinegar.
While these studies are helpful in predicting possible effects of apple cider vinegar pills, it is difficult to assess the same effects of apple cider vinegar when using apple cider vinegar in medicinal form.
Scientists suspect that compounds in apple cider vinegar can reduce fat production and improve the body's ability to use sugar, leading to most of its health benefits. Some of the scientifically backed apple cider vinegar benefits include:
2.1. Control of yeast and other fungi
The creators of the apple cider vinegar pill ACV claim that it can help treat certain types of fungal infections, such as Candida infections. Candida is the fungus that causes vaginal and oral yeast infections. Candida inside the mouth can also cause denture infections.
A 2014 study found that when a denture was soaked in 4% ACV it could prevent Candida from attaching to the denture. Soaking dentures for 30 minutes also does not affect the surface roughness of the dentures, nor does it change their color. This suggests that a solution soaked denture containing ACV may be a safe and effective way to prevent fungal infection of the denture. However, there is no evidence that ACV drugs will have this effect.

Proponents of the apple cider vinegar pill ACV claim that it can reduce levels of unhealthy blood lipids, such as triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, or bad cholesterol.
A 2011 animal study investigated the effects of apple cider vinegar ACV in rats with a high cholesterol diet. Researchers have found that ACV lowers the triglyceride levels of mice. However, ACV also raised levels of LDL cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, or good cholesterol.
To date, studies on apple cider vinegar ACV and heart disease have mainly focused on animals. Therefore, it is not possible to conclude the effect of ACV apple cider vinegar on human health.

While apple cider vinegar pills may not lead to tooth erosion, they have been shown to irritate the throat and may have other negative side effects similar to apple cider vinegar.
