Said to be one of the oldest spices in the world, Cinnamon offers a number of beneficial effects for the body (including antioxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties). Primarily Cinnamon can help in reducing and maintaining a healthy blood sugar level. Symptoms of increased blood sugar levels are fatigue, blurred vision and weight loss to name a few.
The body can naturally lose sensitivity to insulin - insulin helps transport sugar (glucose) into the body's cells to be used as energy. This loss of sensitivity and intake of insulin can lead to high blood sugar levels. A compound found in Cinnamon, MCHP (methylhydroxychalcone polymer), is believed to mimic the properties of insulin which can help to activate insulin receptors and increase insulin intake, thus lowering blood sugar levels.
A recent study conducted in America by the Department of Agriculture tested 60 patients with Type 2 Diabetes using 1g of Cinnamon (the equivalent of taking two 500mg tablets). All responded within weeks, with blood sugar levels that were on average 20% lower than the control group. Some even achieved normal blood sugar levels. As well as this remarkable improvement in blood sugar control, triglyceride levels had lowered by 18-29% and total cholesterol levels were reduced by 12-26%.

Reviews

I've been taking cinnamon for 2 years and my bloods have been dropping every year. I now will not do without them. Thank you Healthy Direct for my low sugar levels.
-
I started taking cinnamon after being diagnosed with impaired insulin resistance. I have to admit i was very skeptical but after a few months my blood test came back normal and it hasn't turned into full blown diabetes. Brilliant!!! Thank you.

I started to take Cinnamon when I found out that I had become type 2 diabetic. I take 2x 500mg with a dark skinned fruit breakfast and a recent full clinical blood test came back "Normal" there is a New Scientist report about the benefits and it appears to do me good and I get mine here at Healthy Direct.
