Cinnamon Bark's role in GlucoPril
Alongside chromium, cinnamon bark supports the insulin-sensitivity side of the GlucoPril formula, complementing berberine and Gymnema Sylvestre. See the full ingredients page for context.
Safety considerations
Cinnamon bark is generally well tolerated. Certain cassia-type cinnamon varieties contain coumarin, which in very high doses over long periods has been a subject of study — a reasonable dose in a supplement formula is generally considered acceptable, but consult a doctor if you have liver concerns.
