okay, so a while ago i started a thread about not feeling sore or gaining any extra mass/losing bf from x factor. Today i was reading about cinnamon and came across this statement:

"Cinnamon's ability to lower the release of arachidonic acid from cell membranes also puts it in the category of an "anti-inflammatory" food that can be helpful in lessening inflammation."

taken from:WHFoods: Cinnamon, ground

now, i eat ALOT of cinnamon, in my 3 bowls of oats a day and cup of cottage cheese before bed. When i say alot i mean i drench my food in it. Now could this be the reason for x factor not working?

and if it is can i cut out all cinnamon from now on and still get the benefits? I am currently on day 38.(and i hear you still make gains 2 weeks after your last dose)

If i had the money i would just buy another bottle and add it on to the cycle so it would be like a full cycle, but this just mafe me feel like i wasted alot of time and money on a supplement that has gotten amazing reviews and i feel would have done alot for me.

Hmmm. first of all, no need to bump it's already atthe top :P

I eat cinnamon regularly, and find no problems. You cantry to cut it out and see how you feel. Please let me know how it goes.

haha, yes this thread doesnt seem to fly by as fast as the other forums do.Don't know why when the reps are always eager to help and throw down some great knowledge.

back on task.lol. I dont think you understand exactly how much cinnamon i use. Im talking like 2 of those "shakers" a week into my oats. Im going to cut it all out for the rest of the cycle and if i start to feel a little more soreness i will know it was the cinnamon. I only have 12 days left though, so i may not even feel it then. If i do feel it however im going to have to really scavenge up some cash for another bottle as money is really tight now and i dont want to waste already being someone loaded with ArA. I just wish i knew before so that i could have put a potentially great stack and $100 to better use.

If you have the DOMS, we might be able to help you out. Just do as I say, I will do my best to get your satisfaction out of it. I am a beleiver, and I want you to be as well.

Thanks a lot jjohn. I will let you know how things go the next 2 weeks. I'm hoping that the Ara has already built up, but the cinnamon wouldn't let it get excreted to the muscle cells(as what i've been reading in cinnamon's anti inflammatory articles). I may even run it at 3 caps a day so i can run it a bit longer just in case i cant get enough money saved up. (im only 150-155 lbs, manlet ftw!). But thanks again for all of your help. MN reps really are top notch!

hope you enjoy it man. I do use alot of cinnamon and never noted any lessening of effects(but i don't seem to use as much cinnamon as you do)

Interesting, I know I sure eat alot of cinnamon in my morning porridge, but I don't think it was the reason I didn't get DOMS. Would be kind of neat if someone discovered cinnamon stops DOMS lol

Isn't that much "raw" cinnamon dangerous as it has toxic chemicals that can build up if large dosages are use over time? Didn't they make CinulinPF to avoid this aspect.

Uhhhh errr - no, I think the CPF was to target the exact molecule that lowers blood sugar and improves cholesterol profiles.

I've never heard anything about toxicity with cinnamon.

I think Steve is from Canada - I guess that explains it.

[Steveoph]

Lol. This just happened to me as I was on the phone with Marcus from ATW. I was talking about how I always throw cinnabun protein into my porridge and then there was a pause... some confused laughter then he realized by porridge I meant oatmeal

It's the British influence, although the Quaker stuff is labelled oatmeal. When I think about it, porridge does sound like the Goldilocks stuff

[jmh80]

It's ok - you guys say "aboot" also.

We like you for your tar sands.
