Type 2 Diabetes & Insulin Resistance: Clinical trials on Cinnamomum verum
Multiple meta-analyses (including Davis & Yokoyama, 2011; Allen et al., 2013) show that daily cinnamon supplementation (1g to 6g) can reduce fasting plasma glucose by 10-29% and improve LDL and triglyceride profiles. The pivotal clinical caution for endocrinologists is that patients taking Cassia daily risk hepatotoxicity from coumarin buildup. True Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is the ONLY variety recommended for ongoing daily protocol. Has anyone paired it with berberine or alpha-lipoic acid?
