What society now understands is that cinnamon is loaded with powerful antioxidants that protect people's bodies from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, including polyphenols. One study even found that cinnamon supplementation could significantly increase antioxidant levels in the blood, while reducing levels of markers used by scientists to measure inflammation.
Other studies have linked cinnamon to a reduced risk of heart disease, with one review suggesting that supplementing with at least 1.5 grams of cinnamon per day helps reduce levels of triglycerides, bad cholesterol and blood sugar in people with metabolic disease. Triglyceride and total cholesterol levels are risk factors for developing heart disease.
