A recent study published in the journal Nutrients explored the effects of daily vinegar ingestion on depression symptoms in overweight, healthy adults.

The results showed that consuming vinegar daily over four weeks significantly improved self-reported depression scores, potentially due to enhancements in niacin metabolism.

Previous research suggests that vinegar might improve depression symptoms by enhancing tryptophan metabolism, linked to increased serotonin production in the brain.

In the study, participants who took liquid vinegar experienced a 42% reduction in depression scores compared to an 18% reduction in the control group by week 4.
- The research indicated that nicotinamide levels increased significantly in the group that took liquid vinegar, suggesting that improvements in depression symptoms could be linked to changes in this chemical.
