Doctor’s Best Cinnamon can help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.*
Cinnamon, one of the world's favorite spices, is an herb with more than 4,000 years of traditional use.
Recent research has revealed that constituents in cinnamon bark called procyanidin Type-A polymers help maintain the body's ability to metabolize glucose in a healthy way.*
Doctor’s Best uses cinnamon extract from Cinnulin®, a patented water extract of cinnamon that contains Type-A polymers.
Gluten Free, Non-GMO, Vegetarian, Vegan

Doctor’s Best Cinnamon can help maintain a healthy blood sugar level.* Cinnamon, one of the world's favorite spices, is a medicinal herb with more than 4,000 years of traditional use. Recent research has revealed that constituents in cinnamon bark called procyanidin Type-A polymers help maintain the body's ability to metabolize glucose in a healthy way.* Doctor’s Best uses cinnamon extract from Cinnulin®, a patented, water extract of cinnamon that contains Type-A polymers.
Research has revealed that a number of herbs and spices have blood sugar metabolizing activity.* Researchers at the USDA’s Human Nutrition Research Center showed that bioactive compounds in cinnamon facilitate glucose metabolism and storage in fat cells.* These compounds stimulate glucose uptake into cells and increase glycogen (stored glucose) production via activation of the enzyme, glycogen synthase. The bioactive compounds in cinnamon appear to have their impact at a cellular receptor level. Blood sugar control and storage involves phosphorylation-dephosphorylation reactions. Enzymes known as “protein tyrosine phosphatases” (PTPases) perform dephosphorylation by removal of phosphate groups from residues on proteins. Cinnamon compounds have demonstrated the in vitro ability to inhibit PTP-1, a PTPase that inactivates insulin receptors, and stimulates auto phosphorylation of these same receptors, thereby supporting healthy blood sugar metabolism.*
Do your cinnamon supplements use either of these two types of cinnamon (Ceylon or Cassia) or some other kind?
No. Doctor's Best Cinnamon with Cinnulin PF is a proprietary extract of the bark of Cinnamomum cassia (Cinnamomum burmannii).
What's special about your Doctor's Best Cinnamon Extract? Isn't it just cinnamon, like I have in my cupboard?
Doctor's Best Cinnamon Extract is Cinnulin PF®, a patented, water extract of cinnamon that contains Type-A polymers. Research has revealed that procyanidin Type-A polymers help maintain the body¹s ability to metabolize glucose in a healthy way. The unique extraction method utilized in manufacturing Cinnulin® separates the active ingredients from potential toxins found in whole cinnamon.
