Cinnamon Leaves- .30oz

What happens if you drink cinnamon water everyday?

When you drink it regularly, it helps to speed up your metabolism and suppress your appetite. The water also has metabolism-boosting properties that can help your body burn fat more effectively. Cinnamon also helps to regulate blood sugar levels, which can prevent cravings and hunger pangs.

The leaves of cinnamon trees, called cinnamomum verum or true cinnamon, contain phytonutrients that may provide nutritional benefits. Cinnamon powder is extracted from the bark of the tree and is not a major component of its leaves. The leaf of the cinnamon tree contains vitamins and minerals that can either be extracted and placed in a nutritional supplement in the form of an oil or capsule, or the entire leaf itself can be used as a hot water tea ingredient so that its contents can be extracted into the tea and orally ingested. As with any herbal supplement, consult your physician before using a supplement or tea containing cinnamon or cinnamon leaf extract due to the potential risk of side effects.
