Cinnamon: The Best Whole Food Medicine for Patients with Hyperlipidemia

Intake of cinnamon is found to improve levels of blood cholesterol in patients with Hyperlipidemia.

According to the Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital, cinnamaldehyde (CA), an active and major compound in cinnamon reduced levels of triglyceride, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and increased high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), in C57BLKS/J db/db mice.

Cinnamon is a spice derived from the inner bark of a tree, native to South East Asia, of over 300 species of the genus Cinnamomum, belonging to the familyLauraceae, used in herbal and traditional medicine as anti-fungal and bacteria level, to improve reproductive organ, prevent flatulence and intestinal cramping, and to treat indigestion, diarrhea, bad breath, headache, migraine, etc.


Hyperlipidemia is abnormally elevated levels of any or all lipids or lipoproteins in the blood.


Also in C57BL/Ks db/db mice study, the cinnamon extract significantly improved hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia possibly by regulating the protein with function in medicated glucose and lipid metabolism.

Furthermore, in rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD), oral administration of cinnamon polyphenol extract reduced the hyperlipidemia, inflammation, and oxidative stress through activating the proteins involved to transfer genetic information of DNA into RNA and antioxidative defense signaling pathway.


Dr. Ghorbani A, the lead author at a joint study said, " the levels of triglyceride and total cholesterol in polyherbal mixture treated rats were significantly lower than those in the diabetic control group (P < 0.05)" and "Our results demonstrated that this polyherbal mixture has beneficial effects on blood glucose and lipid profile and it has the potential to be used as a dietary supplement for the management of diabetes"


With all the information collected, cinnamon may have potency in reduced levels of triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and increased HDL cholesterol in patients with hyperlipidemia, but the use of high quantity should only be given by herbalist in the prevention of toxicity.
