A cited 2019 study is used to argue that honey-vinegar preparations retain more polyphenols than dried herb capsules after 12 months. Raw honey supports preservation through glucose oxidase and osmotic pressure. Apple cider vinegar contributes acetic acid that can extract plant compounds from herbs. The extracted herb compounds include polyphenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, and volatile oils. Honey and vinegar together create an acidic antimicrobial environment that preserves herbal compounds.
