Raw & unfiltered with the Mother.
£4.50 was £5.00
A raw and unfiltered product like ours will contain proteins, enzymes and friendly bacteria which gives this type of vinegar a cloudy appearance. It’s this mix of goodness which is known as ‘the mother’.
ACV is made by fermenting apples which turns them into acetic acid – the active ingredient in vinegar.
What does it taste like?
Our Raw Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother and Manuka Honey has a mild acidity of vinegar but with the sweetness of honey.
We also have two wellness boosting flavours.
ACV with Ginger & Manuka Honey for those who like a spicy kick to their flavours.
And ACV with Turmeric, Manuka Honey & Long Pepper, which also has a light spice.
As well as the wellbeing properties from the ACV itself, our Manuka Doctor product has an extra special ingredient. Manuka Honey with a 300 MGO rating.
Methylglyoxal or MGO for short, is a naturally occurring compound found in Manuka honey and is derived from DHA (dihydroxyacetone) which is naturally present in the nectar of the Manuka Bush. Manuka Honey is widely known for its special Antimicrobial properties. Antimicrobials can fight and kill certain types of bacteria.
Given that it's a traditional remedy and not a medicine, there are no official guidelines on how to consume it.
Most people choose to stir between 1 tsp - 2 tbsp into a glass of cold water, or mug of hot water. Some people just like to take a spoonful a day like they do with their Manuka honey.
Some people like to create their own Tonic by using other ingredients such as honey and lemon, or ginger root.
Yes, says Registered Nutritionist Sarah Dumont-Gayle BANT CNHC. Who comments:
"I use this range often to help improve clients' stomach acid production and aid digestion as well as supporting the gut microbiome due to its antimicrobial effects. Depending on the client I may also use it to help with blood sugar management, including a small amount with each meal to regulate blood glucose levels and increase insulin sensitivity."
Fellow Nutrition Expert Sophia Hill felt the same, commenting: "I recommended ACV to a lot of my clients who had really good results. I have also been using myself and it tastes delicious."
It may help to improve digestion
The human gut contains a large number of microorganisms including bacteria known as the gut microbiota, and these microorganisms are important for our overall digestive health [1]. Like other fermented foods such as yoghurt, our raw unfiltered range of ACV can be considered a probiotic as it contains healthy bacteria which help to maintain a healthy gut microbiome, and is particularly beneficial as apples contain pectin which has been shown to aid digestion [2,3].
It may help support your immune system
Our gut microbiome is not only important for our digestive health, as recent research has found it to be closely linked to our immune function [4]. One of the main functions of our microbiota is to protect our intestine from harmful pathogens and bacteria that enter our gut, and maintaining a healthy gut microbiota helps our gut immune system to fight harmful pathogens efficiently [5].
It may help to reduce blood glucose levels
The main component of our range is acetic acid, and this has recently gained a lot of interest as it has been found to be effective in reducing blood glucose levels [6]. ACV may therefore be able to help in the daily management of type 2 diabetes, as well as reducing the risk of obesity which is frequently associated with diabetes [6].

Manuka Doctor customers are in good company as the product has a host of celebrity fans.
Elizabeth Hurley told Red Magazine that she always has two mugs of hot water when she wakes up with ACV, telling the magazine “It’s very good for your gut and your skin - it’s good for everything”.
Fellow A-lister Victoria Beckham is also a fan, telling her 17 million followers on social media that she takes two tablespoons first thing in the morning on an empty tummy.
