Update on Ceylon Cinnamon capsule supplements {beyond blood sugar, glucose, diabetes}:

I've been reading various medical takes (such as WebMD),

and there are way more effects that Ceylon Cinnamon supplements might have than I realized:

Full of antioxidants

Cognitive health

Might lower risk from various health conditions including heart disease 

Fights infections

Source of Vitamind A, K, potassium, zinc, magnesium

Helps manage blood pressure

Improves how brain responds to insulin, but might play a role in some neurological conditions

Dosage not fully established, but a standard recommendation for capsules is 2 to 4 grams per day, or 1/2 to 1 teaspon of cinnamon powder. {with meals}

Much of this is known to many of you, I realize.

Decided to add to my Ceylon Cinnamon by using some powder in addition to the capsules. [Rather than taking still more capsules.]

Fabulous recipes out there for the powder, but my favorite is just add it to soup (which I adore).

Just ordered this one (with more than 12,000 fabulous reviews).

I buy Frontier brand in a small shaker bottle, lasts me forever.

@Shelbelle    I am new to this, but I was shocked to find that there was NO Ceylan Cinnamon at a large Safeway.

(Ordered on Amazon.)

Not unusual at all, they just dont carry it at supermkts.  amazon, Vitacost, Swanson or ebay. Also sesrch for True Cinnamon, another name for it. I dont even think Trader Joes has it, maybe Whole Foods.  I sprinkle it on a Granny Smith apple, delish.
