babyjones97,

I take cinnamon capsules (which I am making on my own now, so much cheaper). There is a study that says saliva degrades cinnamon so to get the full effects, you should swallow it. I don't know how truth this is, but it makes it easier for me to take it in capsules as I can coordinate it with my other vitamins.

If you are a diabetic, I'd check with my dr first as cinnamon will interfere with your regular med (i.e. metformin).

About pregnancy, be careful too, cinnamon stimulates the uterus so it might not be so good while pregnant, it has been said to cause miscarriages. I have seen no studies about this, just what other people have posted in this forum.

Hope this helps
