Ceylon Cinnamon In Oil — So Your Body Can Absorb It

What it does

Your blood sugar goes up less after a meal

Eat a plate of rice and your blood sugar climbs for an hour or two, then drops. In a twelve-week trial of 51 adults with prediabetes, blood sugar two hours after a meal came in around 20 mg/dL lower than placebo, and HbA1c came out 0.2% lower between groups.

In the same trial the fasting number held steady while the placebo group’s went up. Holding level is the finding — we are not telling you the number falls.

Why most cinnamon does nothing

Powder in a capsule doesn’t absorb. Ours is in oil

The compound that does the work is cinnamaldehyde, and it only dissolves in fat. In a dry capsule most of it passes straight through you. We concentrate it 12:1 and suspend it in MCT oil so your body can take it in. One softgel is 600mg of extract — the equivalent of 7,200mg of bark.

And it’s the right plant. Two things are sold as cinnamon. The cheap one is cassia, which is what’s in most supermarket jars. Cassia contains roughly 1% coumarin, which is hard on the liver, and a couple of grams passes the tolerable daily intake on its own. Real Ceylon cinnamon contains about 0.004%. That’s the reason you were told not to take cinnamon every day — it was never cinnamon, it was the cheap one.

Made for who it’s made for

No gelatin, and dosed for a body the charts were never built around

Softgel shells are normally gelatin, and gelatin is normally pork or beef, which puts most of the shelf out of reach for a lot of people. Ours has no gelatin in it at all — the shell is plant-based and the whole thing is suitable for vegetarians.

There’s a second thing nobody formulates for. A South Asian body becomes insulin resistant at a lower weight than a European one. NICE puts the threshold at a BMI of 23, where a European body sits at 25.

The guarantee

Judged on a blood test, not on how you feel

Most supplement guarantees ask how you feel, which suits the seller because a feeling can’t be checked. Ask your GP for an HbA1c before you start — it’s routine on the NHS. Take it daily for ninety days, repeat the same test at the same lab, and if the number hasn’t moved, send us both results for a full refund. Keep the pouch; posting it back costs us more than it’s worth.

Why ninety days. An HbA1c reflects roughly three months of blood sugar, because that’s how long a red blood cell lives. Test at four weeks and you’re mostly reading the weeks before you started.
