Promote blood glucose metabolism: active ingredients in cinnamon extract (such as methyl hydroxychalcone polymers) can enhance the efficiency of the action of insulin, help the cells to better absorb and utilize glucose, thus assisting in lowering the level of postprandial blood glucose, especially suitable for patients with high blood glucose or type 2 diabetes mellitus as a supplement to dietary regimen.
Improve insulin resistance: Studies have shown that it may regulate the activity of enzymes related to glucose metabolism in the body, reduce insulin resistance, and improve metabolic syndrome (e.g., blood glucose abnormality accompanied by obesity) to a certain extent.

Regulate blood lipids, protect cardiovascular

Reduce blood lipid levels: cinnamon extract can inhibit the activity of cholesterol synthase, reduce the total cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoproteins (“bad cholesterol”) content in the blood, while it may be a mild enhancement of high-density lipoproteins (“good cholesterol”), helping to prevent arterial disease. “), which helps prevent atherosclerosis.
