Cinnamon
Planetary Herbals Cinnamon is a botanical supplement providing 500 mg of Cinnamomum spp. bark extract per 2 mL serving. This product received an N+ Score of 45, resulting in an 'F' grade, placing it in the below-average tier according to Nutrienting.com's evaluation. While the label is transparent regarding the cinnamon extract dosage, research suggests that higher doses, often ranging from 1 to 6 grams of cinnamon bark powder or equivalent extract, are commonly used in studies. Therefore, the 500 mg provided may be considered underdosed for certain applications. This product may be suitable for those looking for a basic cinnamon extract, but it falls short of commonly studied clinical dosages.
