CINNAMON DEEP DIVE

EPL- INFORMATION FOR YOUR BUILDING SOUL


CINNAMON DEEP DIVE


🟤 What Is Cinnamon?

  • A spice derived from the inner bark of trees from the Cinnamomum genus.
  • Two main types:
    • Ceylon Cinnamon (True Cinnamon) – milder, lower in coumarin, better for daily use.
    • Cassia Cinnamon – stronger flavor, more common, higher in coumarin (limit long-term intake).

⚙️ Cinnamon's Role in Metabolic Health

  • Insulin Mimetic – Improves insulin sensitivity, helping glucose enter muscle cells.
  • AMPK Activation – Promotes energy utilization and supports fat metabolism.
  • Blood Sugar Stabilizer – Helps regulate glucose levels and reduce spikes.
  • Liver Detox Support – Ceylon cinnamon supports healthy liver function when used moderately.

🧠 Performance & Hormonal Support

  • Suggested Use: Combine Ceylon cinnamon with sea salt or lemon water pre-workout.
  • Libido Support: May support hormonal sensitivity (early evidence, not conclusive).
  • Cognitive Benefits: Some studies show improved memory and alertness with moderate use.

⚖️ Dose Like a Warrior, Not a Tourist

  • Pre-Workout Protocol: ¼–½ tsp Ceylon cinnamon in warm water with sea salt or lemon.
  • Post-Meal: Sprinkle on eggs, yogurt, or meat-based shakes to help manage blood sugar.

⚠️ Caution

  • Cassia Cinnamon: Limit to ½–1 tsp per day due to coumarin content.
  • Ceylon Cinnamon: Safer for daily use; up to 2–3 tsp/day typically well tolerated.
  • Cycle: 2 weeks on, 1 week off for long-term use.
