Researchers from South Korea’s Dongguk University have found that Chinese cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) can be used to regulate weight gain. The finding, which appeared in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine, used a murine model of obesity to validate its use in traditional medicine as a weight control agent.
In sum, Chinese cinnamon can manage weight gain by regulating lipid accumulation and improving energy expenditure.
