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:
PROX – For men’s health and prostate support, cinnamon works alongside flaxseed and saffron to reduce oxidative stress and help maintain urinary comfort.
BENTIS – In this formula which supports prostate and bladder health, cinnamon’s anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties are combined with saw palmetto, nettle, and pumpkin seed for a broader protective effect.
URI-D – Designed for urinary tract support, URI-D combines cinnamon with plants like dandelion, bearberry, and goldenrod. Here, cinnamon strengthens the antibacterial shield and supports the urinary system’s resilience against recurrent infections.
