Cinnamon Smoothie Booster
Brand: Organic Traditions
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The organic Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) Hydroethanolic extract and organic Cinnamomum zeylanicum CO2 extract work synergistically at the cellular level. Cinnamon polyphenols, particularly cinnamaldehyde, activate insulin receptors, enhancing glucose uptake by cells and reducing insulin resistance. The CO2 extract provides lipid-soluble compounds that may inhibit inflammatory pathways (like NF-κB), while the hydroethanolic extract yields water-soluble antioxidants. Together, they help regulate blood sugar metabolism and protect against oxidative stress.
