Default Cinnamon?

How much do you take a day? In what form?
I've been doing cinnamon for a while, but I'm starting to wonder if it's doing me anygood. I use mostly powdered & throw it on my cereal, in my tea w/the sugar, on toast, etc. Pretty much anything I can add it to I do. I will occasionally put a cinn. stick in my tea but I like cold tea and it just doesn't mesh well, KWIM?

I take 1500 mg a day in pill form. I tried just eating cinnamon on my food but it was too much of a pain, lol.

How long have you been taking cinnamon for?

I found that taking it with my meals work well.

I didn't notice any changes until I had done for a full cycle.

Hope this helps!

Have any of you guys gotten sick to your stomach over Cinnamon? I have taken it for 2 weeks, and every single day feel sick to my stomach. I stopped taking it a few days ago and still feel a little sick. I am just trying to figure out if this could be from Cinnamon or not?!

Thanks.

I tried cinnamon and had an allergic reaction to it. I basically had an anaphylactic response to it in large doses (1000 mg/day). However, this reaction is a rarity. I'm not allergic to cinnamon in small doses just in really large doses.

Thank you Qween, it was very odd. But I know now I can eat one cinnamon roll without getting asthmatic lol. Maybe that explains why I never liked them as a kid!

It's a shame that you found out that way. The body is so funny.

YES!!! I get a slightly upset stomach and it lasts a couple of hours. The same thing happens with the apple cider vinegar. I feel so much better knowing I'm not the only one.
