Introduction

Cinnamon extract, derived from the bark of cinnamon trees, is a popular ingredient known for its potential health benefits. Its application ranges from traditional medicine to modern dietary supplements.

Composition of Cinnamon Extract

Cinnamon extract contains a variety of active components such as cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, and coumarin, which contribute to its health-enhancing properties. The concentration of these components varies depending on the preparation technique and source.

Health Benefits of Cinnamon Extract

Antioxidant Properties

Cinnamon extract is rich in antioxidants, including polyphenols, that help combat oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals. Studies indicate that cinnamon extract ranks high on the antioxidant scale, with an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value of 267,536 per 100g.

Anti-inflammatory Effects

By inhibiting the expression of inflammatory mediators such as NF-kB and TNF-α, cinnamon extract has shown promising results in reducing inflammation. It can potentially benefit conditions like arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.

Blood Sugar Regulation

Cinnamon extract improves insulin sensitivity and aids in lowering blood sugar levels. Research involving 60 patients with type 2 diabetes demonstrated a significant reduction in fasting blood glucose levels by 18-29% after cinnamon supplementation.

Heart Health

The use of cinnamon extract can lead to a reduction in cholesterol and triglycerides, contributing to heart health. A study reported a 10-12% decrease in LDL cholesterol and a 23-30% reduction in triglycerides following regular cinnamon intake.

Neurological Benefits

Cinnamon extract has been linked to improved cognitive function. It inhibits the aggregation of tau proteins, which are associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Preliminary studies show promise in its use as a preventive or supportive treatment for neurodegenerative conditions.
