Descriptions:
Cinnamon extract has been shown to reduce fasting blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes, according to a new study from the University of Hannover in Hannover, Germany published in a recent issue of the European Journal of Clinical Investigation. This was the first study evaluating the effect of a water-soluble cinnamon extract on glycemic control and the lipid profile of Western patients with type 2 diabetes. The results further add to a growing body of clinical evidence demonstrating supplementation with a water-soluble cinnamon extract may play an important role in managing blood sugar levels.
Cinnamon is among the world's most frequently consumed spices and is relatively inexpensive. Anderson and colleagues found that its most active compound-methylhydroxy chalcone polymer (MHCP)-increased glucose metabolism roughly 20-fold in a test tube assay of fat cells.
Functions:
- Reduce cholesterol;
- Promote glucose metabolism;
- Protecting gastric mucosa against damage;
