Cinnamon & Insulin Sensitivity

US researchers indicate that cinnamon may help increase insulin sensitivity, which is helpful for insulin-resistant PCOS sufferers. They say to add it to your food. I tried this, it's gross, but I did find a cheap solution. I went to my local health food store and got empty pill capsules. They have a little pill maker thing similar to those that pharmacists use. The recommended dosage is one teaspoon, which is about four "00" sized (look like normal pharmaceutical sized pills) cinnamon pills. The link to the article is below. I got my pill capsules at Akin's, the whole shebang cost me less than 20 bucks, and less than 5 per month to maintain.

I got the normal store brand cinnamon and it works fine. Nothing fancy. I feel a lot less hungry and tons more energized. Good luck, let me know if it works for you.
