Cinnamon has a distinct smell and taste, and this is attributed to the compound called cinnamaldehyde. This compound is what is believed to give cinnamon a powerful effect on health.

Ingredient Benefits
Supports healthy glucose levels
Cinnamon can imitate the effects of insulin by increasing the movement of glucose into the cells. This reduces the amount of time that damaging sugars can circulate in the body.
Promotes cardiovascular health
Studies show that participants taking cinnamon reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure and results were stronger when taking longer term over three months. This is attributed to cinnamon relaxing and dilating the blood vessels.
May reduce risk of insulin resistance
Due to cinnamon's ability to mimic insulin, this reduces the amount of exposure cells have to this hormone to reduce the likelihood of becoming resistant.
Cinnamon is loaded with antioxidants and is an anti-inflammatory. The natural chemicals called polyphenols increase antioxidant levels in the blood and reduce markers that measure inflammation.
