Cinnamon is available powdered from most food stores or as capsules from health food stores. Keep cinnamon in a tightly sealed container in the dark. It may be added liberally to food at meals or consumed as a supplement. Cinnamon is generally considered safe, although a recommended dose has not been established. Use cinnamon with caution if you take blood thinners or medication to lower blood glucose, as it may interact with these medicines.
