Main Product Features:
True Cinnamon is one form of the common spice (Cinnaminum verum, bark). "Cinnamon" is the name given to several different species. Experiments conducted by the USDA have shown that the variety we call "True Cinnamon" can lower blood sugar by mimicking insulin, activating insulin receptors and working with insulin in the cells to reduce blood sugar by up to 20%. However, cinnamon has some antioxidant benefits, whereas insulin is oxygen-reactive and can damage tissues.
