NOW Foods Cassia Cinnamon Bark 600mg 240 Capsules

Love this product! So happy it’s available in the UAE! Great for overall health, mostly to help control blood sugar levels.

Great

Not The best Kind of Cinnamon for your health. "Ceylon Cinnamon" is the best Kind because its has Low to Very Low levels of "Coumarin ", A potential Liver Damaging substance found in the Cinnamons that are everywhere on the grocery store shelves.Make Sure you Read labels and look for "Cinnamomum Verum" is most Common another is "Cinnamomum Zeylanicum" I Just recently Found this out, and Also Its a good thing to give your body a break from cinnamon every so often. I have read that Turmeric helps regulate blood sugar level also, and is a excellent cancer cell fighter.All Info provided was Found by doing research, and shopping at local health foods stores.

I am a big fan of this brand and heard cinnamon bark was great for glucose control. I’m trying to manage diabetes with diet, metformin and supplementsThe capsules are kind of large, larger then the magnesium citrate I take of this brand. And then I get the worst acid reflux. I’ve tried a few different times, at different times of the day and sadly I can’t handle them. I love cinnamon but not acid reflux tasting cinnamon. Nothing bad against the brand, it’s the supplement it’s self

The product and the inside of the bottle are coated with traces of cinnamon powder. I don’t know if that’s the result of a capsule that opened or just the manner in which they are filled, but they don’t seem “clean” because of this. I’m also sorry I didn’t do more investigation before ordering because the product is not necessarily Cinnamomum verum (Ceylon) but could be any one of three different Cinnamomum species or some combination thereof. I am generally a fan of Now Foods but unfortunately, I will not be reordering.

As others note, the picture and old reviews are out of date. NOW Foods silently changed this from True (Ceylon) cinnamon to Cassia cinnamon. It's not that Cassia is necessarily bad, but it is different. If NOW foods wanted to switch they should have discontinued the old SKU and used new packaging making their switch clear. I realize Cassia is much cheaper, but I wonder if NOW's bean counters considered the cost to their reputation. There are so many disreputable supplement providers, with a very few companies consumers can count on to deliver exactly what they promise. NOW Foods just fell off my list. Very disappointing. Keep looking if you want Ceylon Cinnamon; compare prices closely if you're OK with the cheaper Cassia.
