Hi, I have been reading up on the benefits of adding cinnamon capsules to my diet and diabetes, however can anyone clarify whether Ceylon cinnamon capsules is better for you than Cassia cinnamon capsules, and if so, does anyone no where i can purchase Ceylon Cinnamon.

Many thanks...

Cassia is the cinnamon you want. I don't take capsules but sprinkle the powder on food. I buy McCormicks (an American brand) from ebay as I find it works the best. http://www.mccormick.com/SpicesForHealt ... namon.aspx

I buy capsules from ebay and they are fine, but when I make cinnamon muffins, my BG plummets. I think if you have highish BG then as Denise says the powdered works really well (again I get mine from ebay as I bake a lot so buy in bulk). If your BG are like mine, pretty low and stable then the capsules seem to work. Try, test and see is my advice.

Which ones do you buy on Ebay as there are so many. Am interested in trying them as have read a few good write ups about the benefits.
