When I went to see my RE last (about 2 weeks ago), she recommended using cinnamon tablets along with my newly-prescribed Gluc XR to help with the IR and cravings. Here's the problem - I can't find them anywhere and I've looked everywhere!

Any suggestions on where I might find them? At this point, I'd even consider ordering online......

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I buy my cinnamon capsules at Walmart. It's about $5.88 for 100 capsules. Good luck!

Thanks for the info! Don't know why I didn't think to look there - I shop at Super Wal-Mart for groceries every week

Yep, I got my last bottle at WalMart too. They're in a purple labeled bottle, at least at my store. You can also get them at GNC or other health food stores...but WalMart is just as good and cheaper!

Now another question for you two

How much are you taking? She didn't really specify how much to take and I forgot to ask. I'm going to pick some up tomorrow and I'd like to go ahead and get started with it.

Thanks in advance.

I bought my first two bottles at Walgreens (buy one get one free) but now I am buying them at Walmart because you get more and they are cheaper. I take two a day one in the morning and one at night.

I, too, searched high and low to find them only at Walmart.

When you take them, make sure it's with a big glass of water, or you run the risk of burping cinammon clouds. Just a piece of advice I have heard!

LOL Lady - I was wondering what I could do about that!

Thanks for the advice

Do cinnamon Altoids do the same thing as these cinnamon capsules?
I read over this thread but still don't understand what the benefit of cinnamon is for PCOS. I think I read that it helps metabolize sugar?

LadyDionysus

Here's a link that might be a good place to start:
http://thyroid.about.com/od/loseweig...a/cinnamon.htm

As for the altoids question, I don't really know. A cinnamon capsule usually has 50mg of cinnamon, and most recommend taking at least 2. That seems like a lot more than what's in an altoid.
