Can I use an ordinary commerical brand? I have been taking 1 tblsp. in a glass of water once a day. But I am using an ordinary commercial brand as organic ACV is not available here. Is the dosage I am taking enough? Does ACV affect tooth enamel? What are the pros and cons of taking ACV? I'd be very grateful for an answer.

Yes there are benefits to drinking apple cider vinegar. NO - you will not get the benefits with drinking the ACV from the grocery store. It has been filtered and processed. There is nothing good in store bought ACV.

The benefits are too numerous to list here, so I've included a link. I'll list just a few, however. Apple cider vinegar (raw, unfiltered, such as Bragg brand) controls blood sugar levels and is thus important for diabetes management/prevention. It helps or eliminates indegestion/heartbur/GERD by providing much-needed stomach acids. A mistake people make is taking antacids when, in most cases, the stomach is lacking in digestive acid.
Apple cider vinegar is also thermogenic (causing heat in the body) and is a great aid to weight loss -- just a couple of tbsps. before meals.

unpasturized is the best.
check out this website
www.bragg.com
all i can do is tell you what i have found useful with acv
helps fight arthritis and joint pain, detoxifies the whole system--i actually have staved off a fatal allergic reaction by drinking a whole glass of this stuff--slowly.., helps shrink prostrate, improves digestion, takes out the worse sore throat, even strep..relieves headaches, helps constipation, just makes you feel more energetic...these are personal experiances.
check out the website, maybe they can ship some of their product to you, or tell you where to get it...
