Cassia Sticks

Cinnamon Sticks are whole, dried pieces of bark from Cinnamomum trees (primarily Cinnamomum verum for Ceylon cinnamon, or Cinnamomum cassia for cassia cinnamon). They are valued for their warm, sweet, woody flavour and their clinically demonstrated hypoglycemic, lipid-lowering, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. For the endocrinologist, cardiologist, primary care physician, and nutritionist, cinnamon sticks serve as a complementary tool for glycemic management (improving insulin sensitivity and reducing blood glucose), cardiovascular risk reduction (lowering LDL cholesterol and triglycerides), anti-inflammatory and antioxidant support, and antimicrobial activity for oral hygiene. For the patient, cinnamon sticks add warm, sweet flavour to tea, coffee, oatmeal, rice pudding, curries, and mulled wine, supporting blood sugar control, heart health, and overall wellness in a simple, affordable, enjoyable way. Ceylon cinnamon is lower in coumarin and recommended for long-term therapeutic use.
