Quick answer: "The Mother" is the cloudy strands of proteins, enzymes, and beneficial bacteria found in raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar (ACV) — the good stuff that makes ACV worth taking. BPI Sports delivers 1400 mg of ACV with the Mother and 5% acetic acid per serving, in easy capsules that give you the benefits — for digestion, weight management, and a natural cleanse — without the harsh taste.*
What is "the Mother" in apple cider vinegar?
If you've ever seen a bottle of raw ACV with cloudy, web-like strands floating in it, that's "the Mother." It forms during fermentation and contains proteins, enzymes, and beneficial bacteria — the components most associated with ACV's wellness benefits. Filtered, clear ACV has the Mother removed; unfiltered ACV keeps it intact.*
What makes apple cider vinegar beneficial?
The key active component in ACV is acetic acid. Studies have shown acetic acid can help support digestive health by promoting proper stomach acid levels for better nutrient absorption. Each BPI Sports serving delivers 1400 mg of Apple Cider Vinegar, including the Mother and 5% acetic acid. Research also suggests ACV may help the body manage blood sugar levels already within the normal range when taken with meals.*

ACV capsules vs liquid: which is better?
Liquid ACV works — but the taste is sharp and the acidity can be tough on tooth enamel and a sensitive stomach. Capsules solve that:
| ACV Capsules | Liquid ACV | |
|---|---|---|
| Taste | None — no harsh acidity | Sharp, sour |
| Convenience | Take anywhere, pre-measured | Needs measuring & mixing |
| Consistency | 1400 mg every time | Varies by pour |
When and how to take apple cider vinegar
The suggested use is to take two (2) capsules once daily, preferably with a meal and water, since research suggests ACV may support nutrient utilization and digestion when taken alongside food.
How to choose an ACV supplement
Make sure it's "with the Mother," choose capsules for convenience, and check the dose (BPI Sports delivers 1400 mg per serving, 45 servings). BPI Sports Apple Cider Vinegar with The Mother gives you unfiltered ACV in a convenient capsule to support digestion, weight management, and a natural cleanse.*
