If the “2 tablespoons for digestion” claim you’re referring to is about apple cider vinegar (ACV), the evidence is much less dramatic than social-media headlines suggest.
What the evidence actually says
There is no good evidence that 2 tablespoons of ACV “improve digestion.” The theory is that its acidity might affect stomach acidity and protein digestion, but this hasn’t been demonstrated convincingly in human research.

Some studies suggest vinegar may have modest effects on blood sugar after meals, but that is different from treating digestive problems.

ACV can actually worsen heartburn or reflux in some people because it is acidic.

If someone chooses to consume it, don’t drink it straight. Diluting it in plenty of water reduces irritation and potential tooth-enamel damage.

If you meant a different “2 tablespoons”
There are several viral digestion remedies involving chia seeds, olive oil, psyllium, or ACV. The evidence and safety are very different for each. For example, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds provides about 11 g of fiber and may support bowel regularity, but it should be consumed with adequate fluid and introduced gradually.
