Cinnamon
GNC Herbal Plus Standardized Cinnamon is a single-ingredient botanical supplement, providing 500 mg of Cinnamon Bark per capsule. This product has an N+ Score of 45, earning an 'F' grade, which places it in the below-average tier according to Nutrienting.com's evaluation. While it offers full transparency for its single ingredient, the lack of specific standardization details (e.g., to polyphenols or cinnamaldehyde) makes it challenging to compare its dosage to research-backed amounts. This product may be considered by individuals seeking a basic cinnamon supplement for general wellness.
