What is Cinnamon Bark?
Cinnamon Bark extract is derived from the bark of cinnamon trees, standardized for supplement use to provide a consistent dose of the compounds studied for glycemic support, including cinnamaldehyde.
Why is it associated with insulin sensitivity?
Multiple systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials have examined cinnamon supplementation's relationship with fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and insulin sensitivity in adults with type 2 diabetes.
What does the research say?
Research has examined cinnamaldehyde's role in glucose metabolism through both mechanistic and clinical evidence, making cinnamon bark one of the more thoroughly reviewed botanical ingredients in this category.
Cinnamon Bark's role in GlycoWise
Alongside Berberine, Cinnamon Bark forms a core part of the glucose-metabolism support in GlycoWise. See the full ingredients page for context.
Safety considerations
Cinnamon Bark extract is generally well tolerated at supplement doses. Consult a doctor if you have liver concerns or take diabetes medication, since cinnamon may affect blood sugar and, in high doses of certain cinnamon varieties, liver enzymes.
