Cinnamon Improves Multiple Genes Relating to Blood Sugar and Fatty Acid Metabolism

Sunday, March 07, 2010  -  Byron J Richards, CCN

The water-soluble branded extract of cinnamon known as Cinnulin PF continues to build an impressive body of science showing how the nutrient assists healthy blood sugar metabolism.  A new animal study shows that daily intake of Cinnulin PF was able to offset the metabolic stress of a high fructose diet that is used in experimental situations to produce insulin resistance.

After 8 weeks the animals did not develop insulin resistance; rather they had reduced levels of blood sugar, insulin, triglycerides, and total cholesterol.  A detailed analysis showed that multiple genes affecting blood sugar and the production of fat from sugar had been activated in a favorable manner that supported healthy metabolism.
