How to take it

One softgel with your first meal. Consistency beats timing, so hang it on a moment you already have: coffee, breakfast, brushing your teeth. Give it 8 to 12 weeks. That is the window where the published studies measure.

Talk to your doctor first if you take medication affecting blood sugar or blood clotting, or if you are pregnant, nursing, or under 18.

What's inside

Per daily softgel: 600 mg Ceylon cinnamon bark extract (Cinnamomum verum), a 12:1 concentrate equivalent to 7,200 mg of bark, suspended in MCT oil from coconut. Shell: gelatin, glycerin, purified water.

No sugar, no bulking agents, no magnesium stearate. Gluten-free and non-GMO. Not vegetarian, as the shell is gelatin.

Testing and sourcing

Bark from Kandy, Sri Lanka. Every lot is tested by an independent laboratory for species identity, coumarin and heavy metals before it is filled. The certificate for your lot number is printed on the pouch and published on our site.

Shipping and guarantee

Orders ship within 24 hours with tracking; free shipping over $50. Not for you? One email within 30 days of delivery and we refund your first order in full. No return label, no phone menu, no guilt trip.

What testers say

Week six was the turning point

I had two half-empty jars in the cupboard before this. Week six was when I stopped thinking about the afternoon slump.

Easiest supplement I've owned

One softgel with my coffee and that's it. No taste, nothing to remember later in the day.

Small softgels, no burps

Genuinely small, no cinnamon burp. Only wish the pouch resealed a bit better.

The lab certificate thing is real

Looked up our lot number on the certificate page out of curiosity. It's actually there, with the coumarin number.

Same spice cupboard habit, minus the part I didn't want. The label really is one line.

01 — Why this one

Four things most cinnamon capsules can't say.

True Ceylon

Verified Cinnamomum verum, on every lot

Trace coumarin

Tested per lot, number published

One a day

600 mg of 12:1 extract in one softgel

Nothing hidden

One active. No blends, no fillers

Grown slow. Peeled by hand.

02 — Ceylon vs. cassia

The reason the species on the label matters.

Cassia carries coumarin. Ceylon barely does. Measured, not promised.

Germany's federal risk institute calculates that roughly 2 g of average cassia a day puts a 60 kg adult at the tolerable daily intake for coumarin. The studies below used 1 to 6 g a day, for months.

Coumarin in cinnamon powdermg/kg · BfR survey · n=47
Cassia (C. cassia)4,020

Mean of 40 samples · range 1,740–7,670

Ceylon (C. verum)64

Mean of 7 samples · range <LOD–297

1.7 g

of average cassia reaches a 70 kg adult's daily coumarin limit

109 g

of average Ceylon to reach the same limit

Concentrations: Woehrlin et al., J. Agric. Food Chem. 58(19), 2010 (German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment). TDI of 0.1 mg coumarin/kg body weight: EFSA Journal 793, 2008. The 2 g figure is BfR's calculation; 1.7 g and 109 g are ours, from the means above at 70 kg.

03 — What the research actually says

We'll show you the studies that disagree with us, too.

The four largest analyses, including the two that found nothing.

Meta-analysis
Nutrition Reviews, 2025

−15.3 mg/dL

Pooled drop in fasting blood glucose across the largest analysis to date.

28 RCTs · 3,054 adults · CI −22.2 to −8.3 · I²=88% (high)

Meta-analysis
Annals of Family Medicine, 2013

−24.6 mg/dL

Fasting glucose. HbA1c in the same analysis: not significant.

10 RCTs · 543 adults · publication bias detected (P=.004)

Systematic review
Cochrane, 2012

No effect

The strictest review found insufficient evidence for cinnamon in diabetes.

10 RCTs · 577 adults · high or unclear risk of bias in 8 of 10

Dose–response
Nutrients, 2023

No effect

No significant change in fasting glucose or HbA1c overall.

Most recent dose analysis · contradicts two other reviews

What none of it proves

Cassia was tested, not Ceylon.

One small Ceylon trial exists, with modest results. Cleaner species, not a proven stronger one.

HbA1c barely moves.

Quoting an HbA1c figure means quoting the outlier.

Our only claim.

Supports healthy blood sugar already in the normal range.* Nothing more.

Week six was the turning point

I had two half-empty jars in the cupboard before this. Week six was when I stopped thinking about the afternoon slump. It earned its spot next to the coffee maker.

Bought a pouch for my wife and me. Looked up our lot number on the certificate page out of curiosity — it's actually there, with the coumarin number.

Subtler than I expected

Give it the full eight weeks before you judge it. I'm at four and honestly can't tell yet. Sticking with it because the routine is easy.

Not a miracle, and they never claimed one. For me it's steadier afternoons, and that is worth it.

Individual experiences vary. Testers were not paid and reviews were not edited.

07 — What to expect

An honest timeline.

No fireworks in three days. Here is a fair test.*

Week 1

Nothing. Truly.

One softgel with breakfast. That's the whole job.

Weeks 2–4

The habit stops being work.

Same moment every morning. Consistency is the game.

Weeks 6–8

Where studies start measuring.

Published research measures from here. Some testers mention steadier afternoons.*

Week 12

Decision time.

Keep what works, drop what doesn't. The guarantee makes the test free.

08 — Side by side

The discount jar vs. this pouch.

The discount jarTypeTwo
Species Cassia, usually Ceylon, verified per batch
Form Ground bark in a capsule 12:1 extract in MCT oil
Dose Hidden in a blend 600 mg on the label
Coumarin Unknown, usually high Tested, published
Testing “Trust us” Independent chromatography
Guarantee Return unopened, maybe 30 days, opened welcome

09 — Straight talk

Who this is for, and who it isn't.

This is for you if

  • You want the real species at a stated dose.
  • “Proprietary blend” makes you put the jar back on the shelf.
  • You're building steady habits and want one supplement that fits inside them.
  • You'll give it the 8–12 weeks studies measure.

It isn't if

  • You expect it to replace medication. It won't, and it shouldn't.
  • You take blood sugar or clotting medication and haven't asked your doctor.
  • You're pregnant, nursing, or under 18.
  • You want week-one fireworks. We sell the boring kind of progress.

11 — FAQ

Before you order

How do I know this is real Ceylon?

Every batch is verified with independent chromatography before a pouch ships. Species identity is the first line on the certificate. Ceylon commands a premium and is a known adulteration target, which is exactly why we test rather than trust the sack label. Ask the brand you use now how they check theirs, and enjoy the silence.

What does "12:1 extract" mean?

Ground cinnamon varies from harvest to harvest. A 12:1 extract concentrates the bark down, so 600 mg carries what 7,200 mg of raw powder would, checked per batch by an independent lab. It is the difference between one small softgel and a tablespoon of powder.

Why does coumarin matter?

Coumarin is a natural compound that is abundant in cassia cinnamon and present only in traces in true Ceylon. European food-safety authorities set a tolerable daily intake for it, and a daily cassia habit can reach that line quickly. We test every lot and publish the number, so you never have to wonder.

How does the subscription work?

Pick monthly, quarterly or half-yearly. Deliveries renew at the discounted price, and you can pause, skip or cancel any time with one email. No portal maze, no retention scripts.

When will I notice something?

Probably not in week one, and anyone who says otherwise is guessing. Studies measure at 8 to 12 weeks of daily use. This is a habit, not a switch, which is why the guarantee is long enough to actually test it.

Can I take it with my medication?

If you take medication that affects blood sugar, or blood thinners, talk to your doctor first. Cinnamon extract can add to their effect. Bring the label; it fits on one screen.

How does the 30-day guarantee work?

Email us within 30 days of delivery for a full refund of your first order. No return shipping, no forms. Keep the pouch.
