Victoria Beckham is known to have a stunning figure and there is one kitchen staple she uses to keep her health in check
A highly popular addition to modern day health and wellness routines is something that Victoria Beckham is known to be fond of. Once a simple kitchen staple before it became a trend on social media, apple cider vinegar is now in the spotlight as a health supplement.
Apple cider vinegar is believed to have a whole host of health benefits from weight management, boosting gut health and potentially lowering cholesterol. The former Spice Girl, who is admired for her beauty and envious figure, previously told her Instagram followers that she begins each day with two tablespoons of it on an empty stomach.
The mum-of-four posted a snap of a large bottle of apple cider vinegar to her story and captioned it: “Be brave! Two tbsp first thing on an empty tummy!” Posh is not the only celebrity who has openly spoken about consuming apple cider vinegar on the daily as singer Cheryl Tweedy also revealed that she drinks it when chatting about her workout plan and diet to Dermot O’Leary on his Radio 2 show.
For those curious to try it, adding in some apple cider vinegar to your daily routine can cost as little as 45p a day, based on a tablespoon from a £15 bottle from Manuka Doctor. The science behind apple cider vinegar (ACV) lies in its production method: fermenting apples, which transforms their natural sugars into acetic acid, the Mirror reports.
Researchers believe this particular compound is responsible for many of the potential health benefits associated with ACV. Unfiltered, raw varieties contain what’s referred to as “the mother”: cloudy strands composed of enzymes, proteins and beneficial bacteria.
Emerging research suggests ACV may support digestive health, help maintain stable blood sugar levels following meals and, when combined with a balanced diet, could potentially assist with weight management.
Nutrition experts frequently emphasise that those who decide to incorporate it into their routine should select a raw, unfiltered variety. Sarah Dumount-Gayle, BANT CNHC Registered Nutritionist, said :”To get the full digestive benefits, it is important to consume raw and unfiltered apple cider vinegar containing ‘the mother’.
One product currently generating interest is Manuka Doctor’s Apple Cider Vinegar collection, which combines raw, unfiltered ACV with 300 MGO Manuka honey. The honey is said to mellow the sharp, acidic flavour, making it more palatable when diluted in water, whilst retaining the naturally cloudy “mother”.

The range features several options, all retailing at £15 for a 500ml bottle, equating to approximately 45p per tablespoon. Varieties include a classic apple cider vinegar with Manuka honey, a ginger-infused option, and a blend featuring turmeric and long pepper.
There’s also a “Fat Metaboliser” variant enriched with choline and vitamins B5 and B12, alongside a raw and organic option crafted from Hampshire-grown apples. Additionally, a 100% Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is available for £5, offering similar benefits but without the honey.
For those seeking alternatives, Holland & Barrett stocks Apple Cider Vinegar 250mg with the Mother Apple Flavour 60 Gummies, reduced from £13.99 to £8.39. Each daily serving is claimed to provide 500mg of apple cider vinegar combined with ginger rhizome extract.
That said, it doesn’t include the added advantages of Manuka Honey.
