Cinnulin PF¹, a water-soluble extract of cinnamon, has been show to improve the antioxidant status and lowered the fasting glucose levels of obese prediabetic individuals.  Researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture continue to document the power of nutrition to help improve health problems faced by millions.

Study participants took 250 mg of Cinnulin PF twice a day for twelve weeks.  These individuals started the study with elevated fasting glucose levels but were not yet diabetic.  The researchers measured various parameters of antioxidant function which demonstrate free radical distress – a factor known to interfere with healthy blood sugar metabolism.  The study showed that as Cinnulin PF improved the antioxidant status of the participants then their fasting blood sugar improved.

This human study builds on earlier research showing that water-soluble cinnamon is both a potent antioxidant as well as an excellent natural way to improve blood sugar metabolism.
