What is Cinnamon Bark Powder Extract
Most people associate cinnamon with some of their favorite foods, but apart from that, cinnamon has been used throughout history not only as a as a culinary spice but also as a food remedy to maintain healthy blood sugar balance. Although this is a relatively new discovery for modern medicine to complement diabetic care, this herb has been known in the East to work both as medicine and a spice for thousands of years. As a digestive aid, many studies recommend cinnamon for treating loss of appetite and stomach upset, and cinnamon teas have been used for centuries to prevent bloating and flatulence and to treat heartburn and nausea. Cinnamon’s beneficial effects on the digestive tract are attributed to its antioxidant catechins, chemical compounds that are also found in tea.
Cinnamon also contains potent antioxidants that can help support cardiovascular functions to promote other health benefits. Cinnamon works as an antioxidant because of cinnamaldehyde, a constituent that contains potent antioxidant actions, protecting cells from oxidative damage, and supporting healthy fat and cholesterol balance within the normal range. To support healthy insulin and blood glucose balance and to promote healthy blood flow as well, the cinnamon bark powder’s polyphenolic polymers act as the key ingredients to make this possible.
What is Cinnamon Bark Powder Extract used for
This product supports healthy glucose management. Water soluble cinnamon extract has been shown in clinical studies to reduce fasting blood sugar levels in patients with type II diabetes (Anderson, et al, European Journal of Clinical Investigation). This study evaluated the effects of water soluble cinnamon extract on glycemic control and the lipid profile of patients with type II diabetes. This study adds further evidence that water soluble cinnamon extract supplementation may play an important role in the management of blood sugar levels and in improving insulin function. Dr. Anderson who pioneered this research determined that the most active Cinnamon P.E. compound, methylhydroxy chalcone polymer (MHCP), actually increased glucose metablolism of fat cells in vitro 20 times relative to control.
Aside from that, because of its antioxidant support during lipid metabolism, cinnamon bark extract is also particularly beneficial in promoting healthy cholesterol balance within the normal range. For the healthy functioning of the body, a natural balance between free radicals is necessary, and cinnamon bark powder extract helps with that as well. While free radicals are part of normal human body function, as we are all exposed to free radicals daily, too many free radicals can cause cellular damage. By consuming antioxidants such as cinnamon bark, the actions of too many free radicals in our body is neutralized and maintained at a healthy level.

Cinnamon improves glucose and lipids of people with type 2 diabetes
The objective of this study was to determine whether cinnamon improves blood glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol levels in people with type 2 diabetes. The results of this study demonstrate that intake of 1, 3, or 6 g of cinnamon per day reduces serum glucose, triglyceride, LDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol in people with type 2 diabetes, and s est that the inclusion of cinnamon in the diet of people with type 2 diabetes will reduce risk factors associated with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
Effect of cinnamon on postprandial blood glucose, gastric emptying, and satiety in healthy subjects
The effect of cinnamon was tested on the rate of gastric emptying, the postprandial blood glucose response, and satiety in healthy subjects. Fourteen healthy subjects ingested 300 grams of rice pudding or 300 g rice pudding and 6 g cinnamon. The addition of cinnamon to the rice pudding significantly delayed gastric emptying and lowered the postprandial glucose response. The intake of 6 g cinnamon with rice pudding reduces postprandial blood glucose and delays gastric emptying without affecting satiety. Inclusion of cinnamon in the diet lowers the postprandial glucose response.
