Abstract
Polyphenols from cinnamon (CN) have been described recently as insulin sensitizers and antioxidants but their effects on the glucose/insulin system in vivo have not been totally investigated. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of CN on insulin resistance and body composition, using an animal model of the metabolic syndrome, the high fat/high fructose (HF/HF) fed rat. Four groups of 22 male Wistar rats were fed for 12 weeks with: (i) (HF/HF) diet to induce insulin resistance, (ii) HF/HF diet containing 20 g cinnamon/kg of diet (HF/HF + CN), (iii) Control diet (C) and (iv) Control diet containing 20 g cinnamon/kg of diet (C + CN). Data from hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamps showed a significant decrease of the glucose infusion rates in rats fed the HF/HF diet. Addition of cinnamon to the HF/HF diet increased the glucose infusion rates to those of the control rats. The HF/HF diet induced a reduction in pancreas weight which was prevented in HF/HF+CN group (p<0.01). Mesenteric white fat accumulation was observed in HF/HF rats vs. control rats (p<0.01). This deleterious effect was alleviated when cinnamon was added to the diet. In summary, these results suggest that in animals fed a high fat/high fructose diet to induce insulin resistance, CN alters body composition in association with improved insulin sensitivity.
in PDF format save and read later enjoy it!I can't say I've ever read any outstanding studies, however from personal use I know that cinnamon is the real deal(for me anyway).
I notice significantly enhanced fat loss when I incorporate a LOT of cinnamon in my diet. actually thinking abotu capping straight cinnamon
It's an aquired taste I guess. I have been putting it in my coffee grounds, mixed with a green tea bag. Every now and then to mix it up, but I do appreciate my straight black coffee too though.me likey cinnamon...on pretty much everything.
You should have been doing that anyway! lolI better go buy more cinnamon toast crunch for post-workout
Did you use the cinnamon before eat carbs? Hmmmm i used with food (carbs) when i finish 15min later i feel ultra hungry again but no bloat :food:I notice the difference when taking cinnamon at the 3g pre-carbs level, but not less than that.
Not that I would know...BUTI better go buy more cinnamon toast crunch for post-workout

around 15 minutes before eating the carbs seems to workDid you use the cinnamon before eat carbs? Hmmmm i used with food (carbs) when i finish 15min later i feel ultra hungry again but no bloat :food:
i use a capped cinnamon 500mg each pill 3g day and i love this and say take with mealsaround 15 minutes before eating the carbs seems to work
Yea, even with ALA, it's sugested to take it 20 mins or so prior to meal.around 15 minutes before eating the carbs seems to work
