Cinnamon capsules are just that- capsules filled with cinnamon- but they're an easy way to get more cinnamon into your diet. While there are a lot of different reasons to take cinnamon, my main reason is that it works to regulate blood sugar levels and prevent spikes and lows and in turn help with weight loss. It also is full of antioxidants and aids in digestion. Cinnamon also helps with PMS symptoms in that it can reduce mood swings and cramping. While I initially started taking it to prevent blood sugar spikes, the fact that it's eased PMS symptoms have been the best reason to keep taking it. The pills are on the larger side, but they're soft and easy to take, plus the have a cinnamon taste. I like this brand as they have bigger bottles and are so reasonably priced.
