Description of Formula
HISTORY
Cinnamon Bark has been used throughout history, and across most cultures, as a culinary spice, for herbal bath decoctions and as a food remedy to maintain healthy blood sugar balance. Cinnamon contains the constituent, cinnamaldehyde, found in the volatile oil fraction of the plant. Cinnamaldehyde has potent antioxidant actions, protecting cells from oxidative damage, and supporting healthy fat and cholesterol balance within the normal range. Cinnamon bark also contains polyphenolic polymers that support healthy insulin and blood glucose balance within the normal range, and promote healthy blood flow.*
Cinnamon bark studies show favorable results for its efficacy in promoting healthy blood sugar levels by maintaining a normal range, and protecting cells from oxidative damage. Maintaining a healthy blood sugar level is critical to promoting optimal health and is associated with healthy vision, heart/circulation, kidneys and a healthy nervous system.*
Cinnamon bark also supports the liver and pancreas and promotes the healthy functioning of insulin and other glucose regulating factors in the body.*
Beyond its well-documented actions in enhancing blood glucose metabolism, numerous studies have demonstrated cinnamon bark extract's ability to promote healthy lipid metabolism, by providing antioxidant protection and by maintaining a healthy glycemic response. In one clinical trial, researchers reported that cinnamon bark supplementation not only promoted healthy glucose balance, but also demonstrated a statistically significant action on supporting healthy lipid and triglyceride balance.*
There is a well recognized connection between an excess of free radicals in the body (also known as oxidative stress) and healthy cholesterol balance. Cinnamon bark extract has demonstrated particular benefit for promoting healthy cholesterol balance within the normal range by providing antioxidant support during lipid metabolism.*
Cinnamon Bark also provides assistance in maintaining a natural balance between free radicals (necessary for the healthy functioning of the body) and an excess of free radicals. We are exposed to free radicals daily, in our external environment (our food, air and water supply) and our internal environment (a result of normal biological processes). Research demonstrates that consuming antioxidants, such as cinnamon bark, is one of the most powerful methods we know of to help neutralize the actions of too many free radicals in our body. While free radicals are part of normal human body function, too many free radicals can cause cellular damage.*
