The evidence in words
How much to take
1–2 g/day; prefer Ceylon cinnamon for regular supplemental use to limit coumarin.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Cinnamon; consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
Cinnamon polyphenols may improve insulin sensitivity and slow gastric emptying, modestly affecting post-meal glucose.
Bottom line
A mild, unreliable glucose nudge. If you use it daily, choose Ceylon over cassia to avoid the coumarin liver risk.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
