Cinnemon? Benefits of.

The benefits of Cinnamon are not proven but the conclusion is that it MAY help. The studies so far have all been on a small amount of people.

The chap who did the initial research on cinammon didn't use capsules, he used the spice you buy in food shops. So I'd say capsules were a sales pitch.

Visit this site http://www.bloodsugar101.com/ and look in the "Drugs and food" page then find the picture that goes with "Helpful supplements for diabetes".

 

Capsules are expensive, you get cinnamon in the shops really cheap, dont be tempted to by the expensive cinnamon, just the bog standard ordinary cinnamon is what you want.

I have taken cinnamon for years, I am not sure if it helped with bg, bit maybe it worked in combination with some of the other things I am taking/doing.

Just dont overdo it on the cinnamon, high doses can irritate your stomach and even cause ulcers, and are not necessary, I stir the powder into coffee, or stewed/baked apple, or sprinkle over my porridge (< this doesnt raise my bg, not since I make it with Soya milk instead of cows milk which contains lactose, you can add a bit of cream to your porridge to make it more luxurious and creamy )

All the best
