I've taken it either way....I've been taking cinnamon for a couple of years now. I do find that when I take it on an empty stomach I get cinnamon-y burps, and rarely I get some mild heartburn. So I do try to take it with my metformin, aka with food. I take 1500-2000mg a day in capsule form.

Lex, your herbal mix looks interesting. Do you mix those yourself, or were you prescribed, and where do you get it?

Polly
My herbalist mix them for me..all liquid form which meant to work quicker than pills. You can try it or get an herbalist to mix them for you..I believe its working because i have so much energy i have to try and dont over exercise and my sysmptons lessen.
today is cd6 so I will see if there any other improvements

I always take one cinnamon capsule when I wake up because I always have mildly sweet tea in the mornings.. then right before I eat dinner I'll take my other 2 capsules of cinnamon (theyre 500mg each)
Ive noticed that if I take the cinnamon after I eat that I get cinnamon cloud burps fairly quickly because my stomach is already full. The cinnamon capsules tend to float and stay in your esophagus to dissolve if you have a full stomach. So I always take the 2 capsules right before I eat my dinner.
Also, if you notice that youve had a lot of carb loaded or sweet foods (last week it was chocolate for me) I always take an extra capsule just for good measure. I'm bad, I know lol. But sometimes when Im having AF I get horrible chocolate cravings and I just can't say NO!
I know the cinnamon is doing well for me though. I used to become SOOOO so so sleepy after I ate dinner at night and I never knew why. About 3 weeks after starting cinnamon I noticed I didnt get tired anymore and I would actually stay up all day long without a nap. Which was a rarity to me.
Even my boyfriend noticed I didnt get sleepy after eating anymore. He's actually the one who made me realize it.
I  my herbs!!!

Can you take cinnamon in powder form? like if I were to mix a tablespoon of it or so in applesauce would it have the same effect as the pills?
