Cinnamon's Healthy Benefits Get Clinical Trial Boost
December 2010

A daily dose of two grams of cinnamon for 12 weeks may improve blood pressure measures and blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes, says new research from Imperial College, London.

According to findings of the randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial, the spice may be considered an interesting supplement to the conventional diabetes medications.

"The two-gram dose of cinnamon administered in our study was safe and well tolerated over the 12 weeks of treatment," wrote Dr. Rajadurai Akilen and his co-workers in Diabetic Medicine.

"The sustainability and durability of the effect of cinnamon has not been tested, nor has its long-term tolerability and safety, both of which will need to be determined. However, the short-term effects of the use of cinnamon for patients with type 2 diabetes look promising."
