Default Cinnamon..Met..or both?

To those who take cinnamon..do you take it with Metformin as well? Or just as a replacement?

I take my cinnamon along with my Met...I think I'd heard from the boards that it doesn't replace Met (Hyponidd - herbal remedy just as effective in studies), but helps Met work better.

HTH...

Besides keeping you guys full, do you notice any other effects from the cinnamon?

Yes, is that all cinnamon is intended to be used for? Just to curb your appetite? What are other benefits supposed to be?

I currently take 750mg of Met at night...so I take 1000mg cinnamon but I split one capsule cinnamon in morning and one at night so that way I'm not getting too much at one time. I have seen decreased appetite for myself, as long I do not consume any high carbs...If I do consume high carbs the rest of the day is shot for me because that will be all I crave the rest of the night!

If you're interested in cinnamon, don't forget about vinegar, too!
