Apperantly is repenishes muscel glycogen

"Our results show that dietary acetic acid can enhance glycogen repletion in both liver and skeletal muscle. The mechanism of this effect is different in liver and skeletal muscle. In liver, acetic acid feeding enhances glycogen repletion by activation of gluconeogenesis and the preferential utilization of G-6-P for glycogenesis. In skeletal muscle, the enhancement of glycogen repletion by acetic acid feeding results from the accumulation of G-6-P due to suppression of glycolysis. We used acetic acid at concentrations comparable to those found in a normal diet. Therefore, we conclude that supplementing meals with vinegar may be beneficial in the recovery of liver and skeletal muscle glycogen, for example, upon fatigue, after skipping meals, postexercise or as part of an athlete’s breakfast on the day of competition.

Yeah. Drink some vinegar. Let me know how you feel.

I'm sure the effects are so minimal, that it's not worth the taste.

I drink the entire jar of pickle brine when I finish up a jar of pickles.
Does that count?

It helps reduce cramps doesn't it?

Where my father grew up they use to take shots of vinegar. It will boost your immune system for sure.

This is where I came across the posted research paper btw.

Lots of different types of benifits, and conformation of those benifits by different people. I have increased by citric acid and vinegar intake over the last few days, I notice a good difference in my energy levels, esp workout and post workouts. Of course, this was just for a couple days, still could be a placebo affect.
