Does Cinnamon reduces glucose level in blood?!
Question: There have been several studies which show improved insulin sensitivity and blood glucose control by taking up to 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon per day. Along with the improvement of blood sugar, these studies have also shown in triglycerides and LDL cholesterol. In a study, after 40 days of taking cinnamon the cinnamon reduced the fasting blood glucose by 18 - 29%, triglycerides by 23 - 30%, and LDL cholesterol by 7 - 27%.
Taking 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per day is safe. People attempting to take more as a supplement should be aware of the negative reactions such as skin rash or irritation to the tissues of the mouth or stomach.
