Most of us know cinnamon as a cooking spice, its strong aroma and flavour have a long history of use in culinary traditions. What many people do not realise is that cinnamon has been used by herbalists for thousands of years to help with a variety of ailments. This popular spice is extracted from the inner bark of a number of tree species of the genus Cinnamomum, native to South East Asia. It is the essential oil found in the bark of these trees that contain terpenoids, the compounds believed to be responsible for cinnamon's benefits. Each Healthspan tablet provides our expert nutritionists' recommended level of 200mg cinnamon cassia extract (5:1), equivalent to 1,000mg pure cinnamon bark. This is the potency and form of cinnamon that has been used in proven clinical trials.
