Cinnamon

I read that taking a cinnamon supplement lowers blood sugar. Is this true? Would it be beneficial in a girl sway?

2 women i heard of that used it had girls, but i used it and having boy #7.

There are no magic foods, so no guarantees! I am using it, you could try too :)

Yes soon to be the PROUD mom to 7 boys :bigsmile:

For those of you taking it what dose do you take and how am y times a day? Do you have to stop at O?

1/4-1/2 tsp, I mix it with yoghurt, easier to consume that way, take ut with lunch. I will TTC first time in abtvthree weeks, and yes Atomic has recommended to reduce to dietary amounts after O!

I would like to know how everybody is using it as well! Also how much ???I plan to put it in my coffee of a mourning :) Yum Christmas coffee everyday :). Maybe on some toast with some sugar like 1/2 a teaspoon on two slices and it is yummy on deserts such as rice pudding! I am pretty sure I read you need a teaspoon of it a day, please correct me if I am wrong???

I think one whole teaspoon is a lot, Atomic recommended me to takec1/4-1/2 tsp, but maybe you should ask her :) I have insulin resistency, that may be the reason maybe....

Has anyone heard about the supplement instead of the actual cinnamon?

I used it, just in food not as a supplement, the does might be a bit too high in a supplement. I baked lots of cinnamon rolls and ate one every day for my evening mini meal, and I put cinnamon in yogurt. I reduced the amount significantly during the 2ww though because I read that it can be used in high doses to bring on AF. So if you were to take a supplement I would only take it AF-O.

AAAA that's way way way too much. even a tiny amount 1/4 tsp. has been shown to lower blood sugar significantly.

Also don't take the supplement pills themselves, it's too much and you need to be able to ease off it gently in the 2ww.
