Metabole Ceylon Cinnamon supplement?

Don’t know about that as a supplement, but got some high-grade Ceylon cinnamon and put it in cereal/oatmeal, yogurt, applesauce, etc. can’t hurt as far as I know…will it help ? hope at least a little.. since I tried it A1C came down… but it doesn’t replace overall common-sense diet.

@alanpurvey Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! While cinnamon is not necessarily directly related to kidney health, there are studies that point out its use can be helpful to those with blood sugar issues including diabetes. If someone's chronic kidney disease has diabetes as an underlying cause, cinnamon use might be beneficial.

I myself use a dash of cinnamon in my coffee making each morning.

Ive been taking it (Metabolae Ceylon Cinnamon) for about 6 weeks now, within 4 weeks I had a 4 point improvement in my egfr (30 to 34), along with other heart meds and some sodium bicarbonate my doctor prescribed (to reduce the acid load on my kidneys). Im also trying hydrogenated water first thing in the morning. Also doing other 'make sense' dietary choices, less meats more beans, less sugar, less processed foods, etc. as well as exercise 4-5 days/week in the mornings.

Decades ago I read about an extract of cinnamon that is sold under the name Cinnulin. The main topic of the article was the significantly lower rate of diabetes in places in and around India which have a long tradition of ample use of cinnamon in their cuisines. The reason presented in the paper for not eating more cinnamon is that cinnamon bark also contains molecules of a compound called coumarin which was (is?) a suspected carcinogen. (Evidence on the Carcinogenicity of Coumarin, August 2017, Coumarin Reproductive and Cancer Hazard Assessment Branch, Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, California Environmental Protection Agency）

My doctor didn't see any harm in taking cinnulin.

I am a Ph.D. organic chemist and found the studies inconclusive but decided since my dad had type 2 diabetes, I decided that I would take cinnulin to avoid ingesting the questionable coumarin. I continue to take cinnulin because I don't experience any side effect plus I haven't developed diabetes.

I now have a one in a million chronic kidney disorder, idiopathic immunotactoid glomerulopathy. ITG patients are often diabetic. Fingers crossed that cinnulin is helping and will continue to work.

I am writing to alert you to the possible negative side effects of coumarin, not to promote cinnulin. This comment is the first instance that I have mentioned cinnulin to anyone. Not even my family knows I've been taking it although my husband has likely seen bottle of it in the house.

Thank you for taking the time.
The doctors dont seem to have much advice other than drink twice the amount of water you used to and cut back on the protein.
