I am soon going to start taking a cinnamon supplement. I'm looking for any advice or input on the subject. I am going to start taking it in hopes of it helping to level my blood sugar levels since I have been previously diagnosed with insulin resistance.
My main question is: How do I know how much to take? I am going to be purchasing the capsules in a vegetarian form (no gelatin capsules) so I've been researching where to purchase it from. The thing is... the capsules depending on brand contain anywhere from 200/350/500/605 mg each capsule. And almost all of the brands say to take at least 2 or more capsules per day. So... there is absolutely no consistency between the brands on how much to take.
Your thoughs...? I am leaning towards purchasing the 605mg capsules. I can get a 350 capsule bottle for $24.95 and the directions say to take 2 per day with a meal. So that is 175 servings... or a nearly 6 month supply for a good price. I will be taking 1210mg per day...

Thank you for your thoughts, "The One..."
As for not just adding regular "table cinnamon" to my diet... I find it difficult. I am currently on a low-carb diet and have run out of ideas to try it on. Besides in my coffee and on cottage cheese... Any other suggestions that are low-carb, fairly low-fat and also vegetarian in nature? I love cinnamon... but I highly doubt pouring it down my throat directly would be a wise decision...! :) Any thoughts welcome...!
