Cinnamon (Ceylon) for Insulin
Natural approach for Insulin Resistance
🌿 About Cinnamon (Ceylon) for Insulin
Type A polymers in Ceylon cinnamon mimic insulin, increasing glucose uptake into cells. Also activates insulin receptor kinase. Use CEYLON (not cassia) to avoid coumarin toxicity.
✅ Key Benefits
📋 How to Use Cinnamon (Ceylon) for Insulin
Take 1-3g Ceylon cinnamon daily with meals, or use cinnamon supplement (500mg standardized extract 3x).
⚠️ Safety & Precautions
MUST use Ceylon (true) cinnamon. Cassia cinnamon contains toxic coumarin. Check labels carefully.
☠️ Overdose & Toxicity Risks
⚠️ What happens if taken in excess:
Ceylon cinnamon is much safer than cassia (which contains toxic coumarin). Even Ceylon at very high doses (>6g/day) may cause mouth sores, low blood sugar, and GI irritation. Cassia cinnamon's coumarin content is hepatotoxic — more than 1-2 tsp daily can damage the liver.
