Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is a condition characterized by an excessive amount of bacteria in the small intestine. The substance derived from fermented apples is sometimes considered as a potential remedy or aid in managing this condition. It is a sour liquid produced by fermenting apples with yeast and bacteria.
Some proponents suggest it can assist with digestive health, potentially lowering the pH of the stomach and creating a less favorable environment for bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine. This may alleviate symptoms associated with SIBO. Historically, this acidic liquid has been used for various purported health benefits, including weight management and blood sugar regulation, though scientific evidence supporting these claims, especially in the context of SIBO, is limited.
