New Study: Cinnamon May Help Blood Sugar Levels in Prediabetes

cinnamonA study published last week in the Journal of the Endocrine Society found that taking cinnamon may have positive effects on blood sugar control in people with a condition known as prediabetes, and may even slow the progression toward type 2 diabetes.

Although the 2-week study was small, the findings open the field for longer and larger studies to address whether cinnamon can help reduce the risk over time of developing type 2 diabetes. Continue reading “New Study: Cinnamon May Help Blood Sugar Levels in Prediabetes”

Important Supplement for Blood Sugar Balance

The water soluble extract of cinnamon, called Cinnulin PF, has been clinically shown to have a host of health benefits, particularly relating to metabolic syndrome. Cinnulin PF is the only extract standardized for doubly linked Type-A Polymers. In one study (Ziegenfuss, et al 2007) 83% of those given the active Type A Polymers experienced a significant decrease in fasting blood sugar (about an 8% drop), compared to only 33% in the placebo group. Moreover, subjects additionally showed statistically lower body fat, enhanced lean body mass, lower systolic blood pressure and saw improvements in various antioxidant measures.

In another study (Jarvill-Taylor, Anderson, Graves, et al 2001) the Type A Polymers increased glucose metabolism roughly 20-fold in vitro. In animals, the doubly linked Type-A Polymers appear to have supporting effects on reducing blood pressure. In humans, Cinnulin PF has been shown to support glucose transport mechanisms by enhancing the insulin signaling pathways. Cinnulin PF helps metabolic syndrome by supporting healthy glucose levels, body composition and blood pressure in healthy individuals.

Wanting to take Cinnulin PF? You can find it in our Pathway line of supplements, as Cinnamon. The recommended dosage is 250 mg, taken twice daily prior to meals.
