Now that I am getting much older..I find I have to have a small bit of carb
now and then. I keep them below 70 cal if I have a snack. The doctor wants me
to have a very sour thing twice a day...so I sneak in a Jolly Rancher.
(to keep my saliva flowing and the glands from swelling).
Cinnamon is now available in capsule form.
I am currently examining this for myself, even.

I have no idea what your health issues are, but I want to mention that I regularly buy cinnamon (and ginger) since I read that both can help relieve depression. I haven't had any depression in a long time, so maybe these things are to thank in some small part.
That's not what I wanted to say, though.
I wanted to say that since I've been adding the Jarrow whey amino acids to my coffee, with a generous dash of cinnamon, that I've had a lot of pain reduction, and I think it relates to my body needing the anino acids to regrow the nerves. I found an article about that, and it does seem that my back pain decreases after I begin to include more protein in my diet.
I say that because I've experienced that more than once.
This time, I happened to stop having the desserts I could have with my evening meal every day, and somewhat after that the pain decreased, so I have to believe that may have been a contributing factor.
Point? that cinnamon is great in coffee with added amino acids, I guess.
Didn't sleep much, may not be making sense.
