Recent research by the University of Mississippi indicates that 'Cassia Cinnamon' supplements can affect drug metabolism in the body, potentially reducing their efficacy. The compound 'cinnamaldehyde', found in Cassia Cinnamon, may activate specific receptors, causing drugs to be metabolized and excreted quickly. While this study was conducted in a lab setting, further clinical trials are needed. The research emphasizes caution for individuals using blood-thinning medications or those with chronic diseases. It is advised to limit intake to 1 teaspoon a day, consult a professional before using supplements, and opt for 'Ceylon Cinnamon', which is safer due to lower coumarin content.
