HolidayHolly,

I have been taking cinnamon for about 2 years now and I am very pleased with the results. I take a low 1 gr dose everyday, sometimes a bit less depending on how bad/good I am with food and exercise.

The important question here is: are you insulin resistant? If you are, then yes, cinnamon is regulating your insulin and this in term is regulating other hormones that contribute to your never ending period.

You need to visit your dr for a proper diagnosis on this, but symptoms of being insulin resistant are (among others):

- abdominal fat
- feeling tired after meals
- having low energy levels

There are other threads about IR that have more complete lists of symptoms than this. Do a search of the forums.

Hope this helps.
