Ceylon Cinnamon - More Than Just a Spice
Cinnamon is one of the world’s oldest and most beloved spices, but not all cinnamon is created equal. The fragrant sticks most often found in supermarkets are usually cassia cinnamon. In contrast, Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum)—sometimes called “true cinnamon”—is gentler, lower in potentially harmful coumarin, and rich in beneficial compounds that make it especially interesting in modern phytotherapy.
Did you know that Ceylon cinnamon appears in carefully designed blends of Primrose laboratories’ range to complement other plant extracts:
URI-D – Designed for urinary tract support, URI-D combines Ceylon cinnamon with D-mannose and plant extracts including cranberry, Java tea, oregano, dandelion and camu camu. Cinnamon contributes its well-studied antimicrobial properties, making it a particularly interesting botanical ingredient in the context of urinary tract health and recurrent infections.
GLACANDIAL – Developed to support vaginal health and balance, GLACANDIAL combines Ceylon cinnamon with Amur cork tree, goldenseal, oregano, Japanese goldthread and elecampane. Cinnamon is particularly valued here for its antimicrobial and antifungal properties, including its activity against different Candida species.
