Is 2 teaspoons of cinnamon a day too much?

Because cinnamon is unproven as a treatment, there isn't a set dose. Some experts suggest 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (2-4 grams) of powder a day. Some studies have used between 1 gram and 6 grams of cinnamon. High doses might be toxic.

What Is Cinnamon? Cinnamon is a spice, sprinkled on toast and lattes. But extracts from the bark as well as leaves, flowers, fruits, and roots of the cinnamon tree have also been used in traditional medicine around the world for thousands of years. It’s used in cooking and baking, and added to many foods. Types of Cinnamon There are four major types of cinnamon. Darker-colored cassia cinnamon is the one most commonly sold in the United States. It’s grown in southeastern Asia. Ceylon cinnamon, also known as true cinnamon, is frequently used in other countries. The cinnamon you buy at the store could be one of the two main types, Ceylon or cassia, or a mixture of both. Ceylon is easier to grind but it may not have the same health benefits. Health Benefits of Cinnamon One of the most important active ingredients in cinnamon is cinnamaldehyde. It’s used in flavorings and fragrances. It may be responsible for some of cinnamon’s possible health benefits. Some research shows cinnamon may be good for people with diabetes. A review of 18 studies suggests that cinnamon might lower blood sugar. But it didn’t affect hemoglobin A1C, which is an indicator of blood sugar levels over a long period. It may also lower cholesterol in people with diabetes. Many of the studies don’t indicate what type of cinnamon was used or have other problems that make their findings uncertain. One review suggests that cinnamon might help with obesity and weight loss. It’s sometimes used for irritable bowel syndrome or other stomach or intestinal problems. But it isn’t clear that it works. It’s been suggested that cinnamon also might help with: Heart disease

Alzheimer’s disease

Cancer

HIV

Infection

Tooth decay

Allergies But many of the studies done have been done in cells or animals. Cinnamon does have antioxidant, antibiotic, and anti-inflammatory properties, but for now, there aren’t enough studies to prove it works that well in people.

Can cinnamon cure hypertension?

Cinnamon was found to be effective in weight loss and reduction of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Weight loss, reduced WC and WHR in group ingesting cinnamon was positively correlated with a reduction in SBP and DBP.

Objective:

To assess the efficacy of cinnamon consumption on change in weight, blood pressure, blood glucose levels and anthropometry [waist circumference (WC), Waist to hip ratio (WHR), Body mass Index (BMI)] after 30 days in obese, diabetic hypertensive males.

Design and method:

A cross-sectional study on 200 male patients with uncontrolled hypertension was conducted to assess the effect of consuming 2 gms of home ground cinnamon powder on blood pressure, weight and anthropometry. Patients (n = 200) were advised a 1800 kcals diet with 60% carbohydrates, 20% proteins and 20% fats. Patients (n = 100) were provided dietary advice including cinnamon and 100 patients (control group) were advised to continue the same advised diet without cinnamon. Diet diary was maintained by patients and monitored weekly. Clinic blood pressure, height, Weight, WC and hip circumference measured using the NHANES standard procedures. BMI and WHR were calculated.

Results:

At the commencement of the trial 68% (136/200) patients were obese and 22% (44/200) overweight. Significant weight loss was observed in both groups- cases (p < 0.0001) and control group (p < 0.05). The group ingesting cinnamon, after adjusting for other parameters, was associated with significant reduction in WC, WHR (p < 0.001) and both SBP and DBP (p < 0.0001). Significant reduction in SBP in group consuming cinnamon with reduction in WC and BMI (p < 0.001). Significant reduction in DBP associated with reduction in WHR, WC and BMI (p < 0.001). Change in BSL (F,PP) were not found to be significant in both groups.

Conclusions:

Cinnamon was found to be effective in weight loss and reduction of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Weight loss, reduced WC and WHR in group ingesting cinnamon was positively correlated with a reduction in SBP and DBP.
