Historically, Cinnamon has been used for
various gastrointestinal problems. More
recently, interest has centered on the
research showing that Cinnamon can help
normalize blood sugar control. This is of
major interest to those with type 2 diabetes.
Who would benefit from this supplement?
Those with blood sugar regulation problems,
including type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and
cholesterol related conditions.

250 mg of Cinnamon Bark (alcohol extract),

carbon dioxide extract, standardized ro 40
mg Cinnamaldehydes.
According to the Natural Standard
Integrative Medicine database, “Cinnamon
may be used for various medical
conditions”. In a survey of parents in
Germany determining the use of
complementary and alternative medicines in
children with type 1 diabetes in four
pediatric diabetes centers (located in
Leipzig, Berlin, Stuttgart, and Bonn), 5.6%
reported using cinnamon for this indication.
Cinnamon has been touted as having a
positive effect on postprandial glucose
metabolism. Its ability to lower blood sugar
in individuals with diabetes has been
discussed. Naturally occurring compounds
found in cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia),
including chromium and polyphenols, may
improve insulin sensitivity. Human data
suggest that cinnamon exhibits “sweet”
properties and may be used in strategies for
reduction of sugar intake.

Additional Comments from Don Goldberg
M
enstrual cramps are nearly universal
and can interfere with daily activities
and quality of life. The most common
treatments are over-the-counter non-
steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)
or prescription medications, both of which
can have serious short- and long-term side
effects.
In this study 76 college women with
untreated, moderately painful menstrual
cramps took a placebo or two 420 mg
capsules of dried cinnamon bark three times
per day during the first three days of the
period. Compared to placebo, bleeding was
significantly lighter, pain scores were one-
third lower at 24 hours, and 50 percent
lower at 48 hours. Also, nausea and vomiting
were much less in the cinnamon group.
