Cinnamon is more than just an aromatic spice used for flavoring food and beverages. It has been traditionally prized for its health and healing benefits.
What Is ‘True Cinnamon’?
There are two primary types of cinnamon: Ceylon Cinnamon and Cassia Cinnamon. It’s important to understand the difference between the two. The difference lies in the amount of the chemical compound named coumarin that each of these two cinnamon types contains. Ceylon Cinnamon contains a moderate 0.4 percent coumarin while Cassia Cinnamon contains 5 percent of the same compound. But it has been observed that higher levels of coumarin may pose health risks, thereby making Ceylon Cinnamon a preferred choice over Cassia Cinnamon. Morpheme Remedies Cinnamon 500 mg contains extract of Ceylon Cinnamon which is taken from the plant Cinnamomum zeylanicum. The plant is native to Sri Lanka and South India and is often referred to by the name ‘True Cinnamon’.

Cinnamon Is Rich In Antioxidants
Antioxidants are potent in limiting the damaging action of free radicals (unstable molecules) to the cells in our body. Excess of free radicals causes oxidative stress which has been linked to several health diseases. Cinnamon contains polyphenols and flavonoids that have free radical-scavenging activity and antioxidant properties. The compound cinnamaldehyde in cinnamon is known to have an inhibitory effect on the production of nitric oxide, which is a known free radical. A scientific study affirms that cinnamon extract “can be used as food antioxidant” apart from its use to increase food palatability with its unique aroma.
