Swanson Cinnamon and Chromium - 60 Veg Capsules

Soon as I saw the label, I became concerned. No clear picture of the label was presented on the purchase screen and I should have hesitated. Unless the product is described as Verum(Ceylon) Cinnamon then it's probably Cassia(Chinese) and should be avoided in doses needed to have the effect diabetics want.Cassia Contains Coumarin, Which Can Be Toxic.Coumarin is a compound found naturally in several plant species.It can be harmful in large doses.In rodents, coumarin is known to cause kidney, liver and lung damage. It may even cause cancer. In humans, there are isolated incidents of similar effects (11Trusted Source, 12Trusted Source).In fact, the Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) of coumarin used to be 0.2 mg/lb (0.5 mg/kg) of body weight. It has now been reduced to 0.05 mg/lb (0.1 mg/kg) (11Trusted Source).Cassia cinnamon, but not Ceylon, is a very rich source of coumarin.Cassia contains approximately 1% coumarin, while Ceylon contains only 0.004%, or 250 times less. This is so low that it’s often undetectable (3Trusted Source, 13).Exceeding the upper limit for coumarin is easily possible if you are consuming a lot of cassia cinnamon. In many cases, just 1-2 teaspoons could bring someone over the daily limit.Therefore, if you regularly eat a lot of cinnamon or take a supplement that contains it, then it should be Ceylon and not cassia.
