Cinnamon Cardiometabolic Meta-Analysis, , Among the numerous sources of dietary polyphenols, spices are the most concentrated food source of polyphenols with established roles in gut microbial modulation.One of the primary mechanisms of action of spice polyphenols is the result of bacterial metabolism and the production of metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)—acetate, propionate, and butyrate.3Crowe-White Kristi M (2026)Spices for Targeting the Gut Microbiome to Improve Cardiometabolic Health
Cinnamon Cardiometabolic Meta-AnalysisAs a result of this proliferation, enhancement in SCFA production was observed, with acetate increasing by 24% and butyrate by 19%.3Crowe-White Kristi M (2026)Spices for Targeting the Gut Microbiome to Improve Cardiometabolic Health
Cinnamon Cardiometabolic Meta-AnalysisUsing the total cholesterol : high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (a robust clinical predictor of future cardiac events),our previously published findings suggest that consumption of cinnamon and ginger daily decreased the ratio by approximately 4.4%, thus reducing lipid-associated cardiovascular risk factors.3Crowe-White Kristi M (2026)Spices for Targeting the Gut Microbiome to Improve Cardiometabolic Health

Cinnamon Cardiometabolic Meta-AnalysisThe main outcome measures were arterial stiffness, endothelial function, biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress, and cardiometabolic risk factors.4Soare A (2014)Multiple dietary supplements do not affect metabolic and cardio-vascular health.
Cinnamon Cardiometabolic Meta-AnalysisHowever, little is known about the metabolic and cardiovascular effects of combinations of popular over-the-counter supplements, each of which has been shown to have anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and pro-longevity properties in cell culture or animal studies.4Soare A (2014)Multiple dietary supplements do not affect metabolic and cardio-vascular health.
Cinnamon Cardiometabolic Meta-AnalysisThis study was a 6-month randomized, single-blind controlled trial, in which 56 non-obese (BMI 21.0-29.9 kg/m(2)) men and women, aged 38 to 55 yr, were assigned to a dietary supplement (SUP) group or control (CON) group, with a 6-month follow-up.4Soare A (2014)Multiple dietary supplements do not affect metabolic and cardio-vascular health.
