CINNALEVE® contains special cinnamon extracts and vitamins and minerals shown to promote healthy blood sugar levels
Research has shown that cinnamon helps control blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes, and in at least one study it also had favorable effects on cholesterol and triglycerides. As a person who has been told they have high cholesterol I find this very interesting. I am always looking for ways to lower it.
Cinnamon has known antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, and it tastes great!
How does Cinnaleve® work:
Cinnaleve® contains special polymers that have been shown to improve glucose uptake, promote glucose metabolism and stimulate the action of insulin. This causes insulin already present in the Type 2 Diabetic to become more effective. This means that cells are able to absorb glucose from the blood more efficiently and high triglyceride levels often associated with diabetes, are reduced. The polymers also show potent antioxidant activity which improves glucose utilization and helps prevent fatty build-ups in blood vessels.
What is the benefit of water-based cinnamon:
Ordinary whole ground cinnamon contains oils that can irritate the lining of the mouth, stomach and intestine. These oils may also enhance the effects of blood-thinning agents. During water-based extraction, most of these oils are left behind and therefore the chance of experiencing unwanted side effects is very low. In addition, the extract is a concentrated form of whole ground cinnamon which makes dosing easier.
