    Beejmohun V, et al

    Published in BMC Complement Altern Med

    Key Findings

    Ceylon cinnamon extract inhibited alpha-amylase and lowered postprandial glycaemic response after a starch load.

    Conclusions

    Cinnamon extract may reduce postprandial hyperglycaemia via amylase inhibition.

    Limitations

    Acute design; small human crossover component.

    Outcomes Measured

    Carb Blocker Effect

    Ceylon cinnamon hydro-alcoholic extract may provide a natural and safe solution for the reduction of postprandial hyperglycemia.
