Why Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum Zeylanicum) is Your Superior Choice
Not all cinnamon is created equal. While two major varieties dominate the market – Cinnamomum
Zeylanicum (CZ) and Cinnamomum Cassia (CC) – understanding their distinct properties is crucial for your health and well-being. Cinnamomum Cassia, the more common and cheaper variety from China, Indonesia, and Vietnam, differs significantly from Sri Lanka's indigenous Cinnamomum Zeylanicum, also known as Ceylon Cinnamon or "True Cinnamon."
The critical distinction lies in their coumarin content. Coumarins are plant compounds with potential
anticoagulant, carcinogenic, and hepato-toxic properties. Cinnamomum Cassia can contain very high levels of coumarin, posing health risks with regular, high-quantity consumption. In stark contrast, Cinnamomum Zeylanicum contains hardly any coumarin, making it the inherently safer and health-beneficial option.
Beyond its safety, Ceylon Cinnamon offers a spectrum of scientifically supported health advantages:
Blood Glucose Regulation:
CZ aids in reducing intestinal glucose absorption, stimulating cellular
glucose uptake, promoting glycolysis and glycogenesis, inhibiting gluconeogenesis, and enhancing insulin release and receptor activity.
Cholesterol Management
It helps reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol while increasing beneficial HDL cholesterol.
