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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: apple cider vinegar at 1500 mg per capsule. The capsule itself is made from cellulose, an inactive filler.

Apple cider vinegar is a fermented vinegar product derived from apples. It's used as a supplement for a range of purposes, though the evidence for most claims remains limited.

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
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Apple Cider Vinegar product and its label doesn't state a use — see Apple Cider Vinegar's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we hold does not establish that apple cider vinegar is effective for acne, athletic performance, cognitive function, dental plaque, depression, or atopic dermatitis (eczema). Our data rates all of these uses as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate its benefit.

If you're considering this supplement for one of these purposes, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the current research supports your specific goal.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Apple Cider Vinegar

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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

In food amounts, apple cider vinegar is generally well tolerated. When used orally for short-term medicinal purposes, it also seems to be well tolerated.

However, there is limited safety data on large supplement doses, and long-term use in larger amounts may be unsafe. Serious side effects are rare but have been reported with long-term heavy use: one documented case involved someone who ingested 250 mL (about 8 ounces) daily for 6 years and developed low potassium, elevated renin levels, and osteoporosis.

Topical use carries risk of chemical burns and skin irritation. Because of these concerns, avoid large medicinal or unpasteurized amounts unless your doctor approves.

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Apple Cider Vinegar.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; heart-rhythm medications.
  • For scale: 162 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 taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take digoxin (a heart medication), diuretic drugs (water pills), insulin, or antidiabetes drugs. The first three carry Moderate interaction concerns; the last is Minor but still worth confirming.

These are the medication types we have documented interactions for with apple cider vinegar.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Raw Apple Cider Vinegar 1500 mg might appeal to someone looking to experiment with a common household supplement, but the evidence for its effectiveness in treating specific conditions isn't established in our data. You should be careful if you take digoxin, diuretics, insulin, or diabetes medications—the documented interactions are real and worth discussing with your doctor or pharmacist before you start.

Talk it over with them to make sure this supplement fits your situation.

Apple Cider Vinegar4 drug types · 162 drugs

Digoxin (Lanoxin)

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.

Raw Apple Cider Vinegar 1500 mg by HerbTonics: Common Questions

Does Raw Apple Cider Vinegar 1500 mg by HerbTonics interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Raw Apple Cider Vinegar 1500 mg has a known interaction with 162 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Raw Apple Cider Vinegar 1500 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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 acne or skin problems?
The evidence we hold rates apple cider vinegar as having insufficient reliable evidence for acne and atopic dermatitis (eczema). We can't say whether it works based on the data we hold. If you're interested in using it for skin, talk it over with your doctor first—especially since topical use carries a risk of chemical burns.
Is it safe to take every day for a long time?
In food amounts, yes. But when used as a large supplement dose long-term, safety data is limited, and serious effects like low potassium and bone loss have been reported in rare cases after years of heavy use. Stick to amounts your doctor approves, and don't use large doses or unpasteurized vinegar without checking with them first.
Can I take this if I'm on water pills or a heart medication?
No—not without talking to your doctor first. This product can interact with diuretics (water pills) and digoxin (heart medication) by lowering your potassium, which can cause real problems. Your doctor needs to know you're considering it so they can decide if it's safe for you.
What if I have diabetes and take insulin or diabetes medication?
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting. Apple cider vinegar might lower blood sugar, so combining it with diabetes medication could increase the risk of low blood sugar. Your healthcare provider can advise whether it's safe for your specific situation.
Why should I avoid applying this topically?
There are published reports of chemical burns from topical apple cider vinegar, even from a single application. One case involved a teenager who applied it for 3 days to remove a skin growth and ended up with redness, irritation, and skin erosion. It's not worth the risk.
