Description

For managing blood sugar, Ceylon cinnamon is generally considered superior to cassia cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon contains less coumarin, a compound that can cause liver damage in high doses, making it a safer choice for long-term use. While both varieties have shown potential in improving blood sugar control, studies on Ceylon cinnamon are more focused on its anti-diabetic properties and insulin sensitivity. 

Here’s a more detailed look:
  • Ceylon Cinnamon:

    Known for its potential to lower blood sugar, increase insulin sensitivity, and improve metabolic markers. It’s also less likely to cause liver damage compared to cassia. 

  • Cassia Cinnamon:

    While also associated with blood sugar control, cassia contains higher levels of coumarin, which can be harmful to the liver if consumed in excess. 

  • Studies:

    Many studies suggest cinnamon, particularly Ceylon, can help manage blood sugar levels and diabetes complications. 

In essence, if you’re looking to incorporate cinnamon into your diet for its potential blood sugar-lowering benefits, choosing Ceylon cinnamon is a safer and potentially more effective option due to its lower coumarin content and specific properties related to insulin sensitivity.
