HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Apple Cider Plus 600 mg by Best Naturals

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Apple Cider Plus contains two active ingredients: apple cider vinegar and honey powder. The product also includes four inactive ingredients — maltodextrin, gelatin, silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate — which are fillers and capsule material.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Burns — rated "Possibly Effective" (Honey) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Herpes labialis (cold sores) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Honey) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Cough — rated "Possibly Effective" (Honey) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Dry eye — rated "Possibly Effective" (Honey) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Oral mucositis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Honey) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for apple cider vinegar on acne, athletic performance, cognitive function, dental plaque, depression, and eczema is insufficient — we simply don't have strong data to know whether it works for those uses. Honey powder has shown possibly effective evidence for herpes labialis (cold sores), cough, sore throat (oral mucositis), burns, and dry eye.

That means some clinical studies support its use for those conditions, though the evidence isn't ironclad.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Apple Cider Vinegar Honey

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Apple cider vinegar in food amounts is generally well tolerated. However, large medicinal doses — especially over months or years — may cause serious problems.

One documented case involved someone drinking 250 mL (about 8 ounces) daily for six years and developing dangerously low potassium, elevated renin levels, and weakened bones. Using it topically can cause chemical burns and skin irritation.

Honey is generally safe for adults and children over 1 year old. Common side effects are nausea, stomach pain, vomiting (oral) and burning or stinging (topical).

Rare serious reactions include allergic responses, including anaphylaxis. Avoid honey from the Black Sea coast of Turkey, which can contain toxins that affect your heart rhythm and blood pressure.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Honey, Apple Cider Vinegar.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; heart-rhythm medications.
  • For scale: 890 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you start Apple Cider Plus, double-check if you take diuretics (water pills), digoxin or other heart medications, insulin, diabetes drugs, blood thinners (anticoagulants), anti-seizure medications like phenytoin, or any drugs processed by your liver — worst severity first. The apple cider vinegar component carries the heaviest interaction load.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take diuretics, digoxin, insulin, or other diabetes medications, talk with your pharmacist before using this product — the interactions could be serious. Even if you're not on those drugs, large doses of apple cider vinegar long-term may deplete potassium and weaken bone.

Honey is generally well tolerated, but this combination warrants a careful medication check.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Apple Cider Plus 600 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Honey powder3 drug types · 736 drugs

Phenytoin (Dilantin)

Theoretically, honey might increase levels of phenytoin.
In an animal model, the rate and extent of absorption of phenytoin was increased by honey. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, honey may increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro, honey inhibits platelet aggregation and increases the time to clotting. Furthermore, animal research suggests that feeding mice large doses of honey for 12 days increases bleeding time when compared with no intervention. However, these effects have not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, honey might decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4, but research is conflicting.
Some clinical research shows that honey induces CYP3A4. However, other clinical studies found no effect on CYP3A4 activity. Different honey preparations may have different effects on CYP3A4.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Honey powder full monograph & interactions

Apple Cider Vinegar4 drug types · 162 drugs

Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, concomitant use of apple cider vinegar with digoxin might increase the risk of cardiac toxicity.
A case of hypokalemia related to chronic use of apple cider vinegar has been reported. Theoretically, overuse of apple cider vinegar could decrease potassium levels, increasing the risk of toxicity with digoxin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of apple cider vinegar with diuretic drugs might increase the risk of hypokalemia.
A case of hypokalemia related to chronic use of apple cider vinegar has been reported. There is some concern that people taking apple cider vinegar along with potassium depleting diuretics might have an increased risk for hypokalemia.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Insulin

Theoretically, concomitant use of apple cider vinegar with insulin might increase the risk of hypokalemia.
A case of hypokalemia related to chronic use of apple cider vinegar has been reported. Theoretically, overuse of apple cider vinegar concomitantly with insulin might increase the risk of hypokalemia.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking apple cider vinegar with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Apple cider vinegar might reduce fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels and decrease gastric emptying in people with diabetes. However, not all research agrees. Theoretically, it might have additive effects on glucose levels when used with antidiabetes drugs.

Apple Cider Plus 600 mg by Best Naturals: Common Questions

Does Apple Cider Plus 600 mg by Best Naturals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Apple Cider Plus 600 mg has a known interaction with 889 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Apple Cider Plus 600 mg contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does apple cider vinegar actually work for weight loss or blood sugar?
We don't have reliable evidence that apple cider vinegar works for those uses. What we do know is that in large amounts over time it can cause problems — including low potassium and weak bones — so taking it as a supplement carries real risks.
Can I take this if I'm on a water pill for my blood pressure?
No — talk to your pharmacist first. Apple cider vinegar and diuretics together raise your risk of dangerously low potassium. Your doctor needs to know you're considering this before you start.
Is honey safe in this supplement form?
Honey as a food is generally safe for adults and children over 1 year old. For medicinal use in supplement form, the safety data is thinner, so check with your doctor first.
What are the side effects I should expect?
In food amounts, apple cider vinegar is well tolerated short-term. Honey may cause nausea, stomach pain, or stinging if applied to skin. Larger or long-term doses of apple cider vinegar may cause more serious effects like low potassium and bone weakness.
Is this safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Honey is likely safe during pregnancy and lactation. Apple cider vinegar's pregnancy and lactation safety isn't fully detailed in the data we hold — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before using this product.
Can this cause a chemical burn like I've heard about apple cider vinegar?
That's a topical (skin) risk — cases of chemical burns happened when people applied apple cider vinegar directly to skin. This capsule is taken by mouth, so that risk doesn't apply, but large oral doses carry their own serious risks.
