Ancient spice. Modern metabolic support.
Cinnamon has been treasured for thousands of years as one of the world's great culinary and medicinal spices.
Today, it has become something more.
Modern clinical research has placed Cinnamon among the most extensively investigated botanicals for blood glucose control, insulin resistance and metabolic health.
NeoGenesis takes this ancient botanical and delivers it in a concentrated, precisely standardised form:
500 mg Ceylon Cinnamon Bark Extract
20:1 concentration
Equivalent to 10,000 mg Ceylon Cinnamon Bark
Standardised to 10% Polyphenols
And importantly, NeoGenesis uses true Ceylon Cinnamon {Cinnamomum verum}
Not generic cinnamon.
WHY CINNAMON?
Cinnamon's relationship with food is part of what makes its metabolic story so fascinating.
For centuries it has been consumed alongside carbohydrate-rich foods.
Modern researchers subsequently began investigating whether compounds within Cinnamon could influence the way the body handles glucose and insulin.
The results have generated a substantial clinical literature.
A 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis incorporating 24 randomised controlled trials in people with type 2 diabetes reported significant improvements in fasting blood glucose, HbA1c and HOMA-IR following cinnamon supplementation. (PubMed)
A separate umbrella meta-analysis combining 11 previous meta-analyses of randomised trials also reported improvements in fasting glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR and HbA1c. (PubMed)
That makes Cinnamon much more than a traditional metabolic herb.
Tradition pointed toward it. Modern science started measuring it.
TOP BENEFITS OF CEYLON CINNAMON
1. Healthy Blood Sugar Support
Cinnamon has been extensively investigated for its ability to support healthy glucose metabolism.
2. Insulin Sensitivity
Clinical research suggests Cinnamon may influence insulin resistance and the body's response to insulin.
3. Glucose Metabolism
Cinnamon is particularly interesting for people looking to support the way their body processes carbohydrates and glucose.
4. Metabolic Health
Its actions on glucose, insulin and potentially lipid metabolism make Cinnamon an exceptionally interesting whole-body metabolic botanical.
5. Post-Meal Metabolic Support
Cinnamon has been investigated for its effects on post-meal glucose and insulin responses, although individual studies have produced differing results depending upon the species, preparation and population studied. (PubMed)
6. Antioxidant Support
Cinnamon bark is naturally rich in polyphenolic compounds, which is why NeoGenesis standardises its extract to 10% polyphenols.
7. Cardiovascular Wellness
Clinical research has also investigated Cinnamon for cholesterol, triglycerides and other cardiometabolic markers. Results vary, so we regard this as an additional rather than primary benefit. (PubMed)
8. Healthy Ageing
Maintaining healthy glucose metabolism and limiting excessive oxidative stress are important components of long-term metabolic wellness.
9. Digestive Wellness
Cinnamon also has a long history of traditional use as a warming digestive botanical.
10. Everyday Metabolic Support
Rather than being an occasional herb, Cinnamon lends itself beautifully to a consistent daily metabolic-health routine.
THE BLOOD-SUGAR STORY
This is where Cinnamon becomes genuinely impressive.
A recent meta-analysis of 28 randomised controlled trials involving 3,054 people with type 2 diabetes found cinnamon supplementation was associated with significant reductions in fasting glucose, postprandial glucose, HbA1c and HOMA-IR compared with controls. (PubMed)
Another 2024 analysis of 24 RCTs similarly found significant improvements in fasting blood sugar, HbA1c and insulin resistance. (PubMed)
Cinnamon is one of the most clinically investigated botanical supplements for glucose metabolism.
WHY CEYLON CINNAMON?
There isn't just one Cinnamon.
Two major forms dominate supplements and foods:
Cassia Cinnamon
Cinnamomum cassia and related species
and
Ceylon Cinnamon
Cinnamomum verum - historically also called Cinnamomum zeylanicum
Ceylon Cinnamon is commonly called:
"TRUE CINNAMON"
It has a different phytochemical profile from Cassia and is particularly valued for its naturally much lower coumarin content.
That's an important distinction for a product designed for regular use.
And NeoGenesis specifically chose:
Cinnamomum verum - Ceylon Cinnamon.
NOW THERE IS DIRECT CEYLON CINNAMON CLINICAL EVIDENCE
A 2025 randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial specifically investigated Cinnamomum zeylanicum/verum extract in 210 people with type 2 diabetes.
Participants received either 250 mg, 500 mg or placebo for four months.
The researchers reported reductions in fasting glucose and HbA1c alongside improvements in insulin resistance and beta-cell function. The 500 mg group also showed reductions in total and LDL cholesterol. (PubMed)
It was specifically Ceylon Cinnamon.
And interestingly, 500 mg extract was one of the doses studied.
10% POLYPHENOLS - QUALITY YOU CAN MEASURE
Cinnamon isn't defined merely by how many milligrams of brown powder fit inside a capsule.
The bark contains a complex spectrum of naturally occurring phytochemicals, including polyphenolic compounds.
NeoGenesis therefore standardises its Ceylon Cinnamon extract to:
10% POLYPHENOLS
This provides a measurable marker of botanical quality and extract consistency.
Rather than simply telling you that the capsule contains "Cinnamon," we tell you:
Which Cinnamon.
Which part of the plant.
How concentrated it is.
How much raw botanical it represents.
And what phytochemical standardisation it provides.
20:1 CONCENTRATED CEYLON CINNAMON
Each capsule provides:
Ceylon Cinnamon Bark Extract - 500 mg
20:1 concentration
Equivalent to 10,000 mg whole Cinnamon Bark
Standardised to 10% Polyphenols
That means one capsule represents the equivalent of:
10 GRAMS OF CEYLON CINNAMON BARK
delivered as a concentrated, standardised extract.
NOT ALL CINNAMON SUPPLEMENTS ARE THE SAME
A bottle saying "Cinnamon 500 mg" tells you surprisingly little.
Is it Cassia?
Is it Ceylon?
Is it raw powdered bark?
Is it an extract?
What concentration?
Is anything standardised?
NeoGenesis answers those questions.
TRUE CEYLON CINNAMON
20:1 CONCENTRATED EXTRACT
10,000 mg BARK EQUIVALENT
10% POLYPHENOLS
That's the difference between simply putting Cinnamon into a capsule and designing a properly specified botanical extract.
WHAT MAY YOU NOTICE?
Cinnamon is not a stimulant, and metabolic supplements don't necessarily produce an obvious sensation after the first capsule.
This is better thought of as a daily metabolic-support botanical.
People generally choose Cinnamon because they're thinking longer-term about blood sugar, carbohydrate metabolism, insulin sensitivity and overall metabolic health.
Combined with sensible nutrition and physical activity, it becomes a simple botanical addition to a broader metabolic-health routine.
Support the metabolism you use every single day.
BEYOND BLOOD SUGAR
Cinnamon's metabolic story doesn't stop at glucose.
Researchers have investigated its effects on:
Insulin resistance
HbA1c
Post-meal glucose
Cholesterol
LDL cholesterol
Triglycerides
Oxidative stress
Body composition
But it also demonstrates just how extensively this ancient spice is now being investigated as a modern metabolic botanical. (PubMed)
