Ceylon Cinnamon

Organic Ceylon Cinnamon is not to be confused with the common cinnamon, known as Cassia Cinnamon.

Organic Ceylon Cinnamon hails from Sri Lanka and is harvested from a small evergreen known as Cinnamomum Verum.

This “True Cinnamon” has been highly touted throughout ancient history for its health benefits, dating back to the Egyptians.

Cinnamon can get a bad rep for being toxic at certain amounts, which may be true in extreme cases; however, taking too much cinnamon applies to the Cassia Cinnamon and not the Ceylon Cinnamon.

Health Benefits of Organic Ceylon Cinnamon

When extracted, Ceylon Cinnamon possesses this oily substance known as cinnamaldehyde, which gives it the familiar smell and taste as well as the powerful health benefits.

Scientists now know much more about the exact pathways that Ceylon Cinnamon acts on in the body. One of those ways relates to healthy blood sugar levels. 

A compound in cinnamon known as hydroxychalcone has been shown to imitate insulin in the body as well as support healthy blood sugar levels.

Taking cinnamon with a meal has been shown to support healthy blood sugar levels and support healthy metabolic breakdown of carbohydrates.

Ceylon cinnamon contains very rare and special compounds called Type-A Polymers, which have been shown to act as a strong free-radical scavengers and potentiate insulin in the body. 

This means that it helps to support healthy insulin levels and helps to support healthy blood sugar levels. 

 A Potent Nootropic For a Healthy Brain and Nervous System

Ceylon Cinnamon has a lesser-known nootropic benefit that is attributed to increased cognition.

Ceylon Cinnamon has been shown to support healthy levels of two very specific and important growth factors called glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and Neurturin (NTN). 

Furthermore, Cinnamon has the ability to promote brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the entire central nervous system.  

These three growth factors are phenomenal for the brain and nervous system because of their roles in supporting healthy neuronal functioning and cell-to-cell communication. 

These specific growth factors help a person to support healthy peak levels of creativity, clarity, focus, memory and concentration.

A Powerful Free-Radical Scavenging Spice

Like most spices, Ceylon Cinnamon also has a unique ability to promote a healthy inflammatory response within the body.

There are also special chemical compounds in cinnamon that increase two powerful free radical scavengers: superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx).

SOD and GPx are two of the body’s strongest internal free-radical scavengers known and are used to support brain health, healthy brain detoxification and healthy liver detoxification.
