Comprehensive Herbal Support To:

• Help Maintain Healthy Blood Sugar Levels

Cinnamon

Cinnamon has long been used to help a wide variety of conditions including gastrointestinal complaints such as indigestion and diarrhia, and poor circulation. More recently, Cinnamon has been gaining attention for its ability to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity. (1,2,3) Extracts of Cinnamomum cassia were shown to increase glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis, and increase sensitivity of the insulin receptor on cells. Cinnamon is also thought to aid in triggering the insulin cascade system.

In addition to improving cellular glucose metabolism, Cinnamon has also demonstrated significant antioxidant activity.
