Ceylon cinnamon bark originates from Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia and contains cinnamaldehyde, a notable active compound that helps reduce inflammation and stabilize blood sugar and cholesterol. Cinnamon is also rich in antioxidants, manganese, vitamins A and K, and minerals beneficial for cardiovascular health, digestion, blood pressure, and brain function. In particular, cinnamon extract may also support the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease thanks to its ability to protect brain cells from damage.
