Please rest assured that the apple cider vinegar you received is 100% pure and contains the "mother." Upon receipt, we thoroughly checked the drums and would have returned them to the supplier if the "mother" was absent. The "mother" was present in the drums we received. Please note that the "mother" in apple cider vinegar can sometimes settle at the bottom of the bottle.
The "mother" is a collection of beneficial enzymes, proteins, and good bacteria that form naturally during the fermentation process of apple cider vinegar. Sometimes, due to settling during storage and transportation, the "mother" may appear as particulate matter at the bottom of the bottle. However, the presence of the "mother" may not always be visible to the naked eye. Before using the vinegar, we recommend shaking the bottle gently to redistribute the "mother" throughout the liquid.
During the bottling process, there is a chance that some bottles may contain more "mother" and bacteria than others. However, this does not mean vinegar lacks any beneficial properties. The presence of the "mother" in the vinegar contributes to its potential health benefits and nutritional value. We stand behind the quality of our product, and we are confident that you will experience the many benefits of this pure apple cider vinegar with the "mother." If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we are here to ensure you have a positive experience with our apple cider vinegar.
