Indigenous cinnamon (Cinnamomum osmophloeum), an evergreen tree native to Taiwan, can be used to treat hyperglycemia without the adverse effect of weight gain, according to scientists from National Taiwan University. Their study, which was published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, investigated the ability of twig extracts from C. osmophloeum (CoTE) to treat hyperglycemia using a rat model.
The findings reveal that twig extracts from C. osmophloeum have the potential to be used to treat hyperglycemia.
