Cinnamon Metabolic Health Meta-AnalysisBackground and aims Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) affect adults worldwide and are causes of morbidity.1Chen Liang A (2026)Comparative Efficacy of Herbal Products for Improving Liver Enzymes and Inflammation in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.
Cinnamon Metabolic Health Meta-AnalysisEvidence synthesis has been limited by heterogeneity in formulations and study quality.1Chen Liang A (2026)Comparative Efficacy of Herbal Products for Improving Liver Enzymes and Inflammation in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.
Cinnamon Metabolic Health Meta-AnalysisRisk of bias was assessed using RoB 2.0, and certainty of evidence using Confidence in NMA.1Chen Liang A (2026)Comparative Efficacy of Herbal Products for Improving Liver Enzymes and Inflammation in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.
Cinnamon Metabolic Health Meta-AnalysisWhile lifestyle modification remains in first-line therapy, interest has emerged in herbal agents with potential hepatometabolic effects.1Chen Liang A (2026)Comparative Efficacy of Herbal Products for Improving Liver Enzymes and Inflammation in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.
Cinnamon Metabolic Health Meta-AnalysisType 2 diabetes is associated with altered microbial composition, reduced butyrate-producing taxa and disrupted metabolic pathways.4Okonta EO (2026)The gut microbiome as a plausible but unproven moderator of cinnamon trial outcomes in type 2 diabetes: toward phytochemical standardization and precision nutraceuticals.
Cinnamon Metabolic Health Meta-AnalysisCinnamon ( Cinnamomum spp.) has been widely investigated as an adjunctive nutraceutical for glycemic management in type 2 diabetes mellitus, yet clinical findings remain inconsistent.4Okonta EO (2026)The gut microbiome as a plausible but unproven moderator of cinnamon trial outcomes in type 2 diabetes: toward phytochemical standardization and precision nutraceuticals.
Cinnamon Metabolic Health Meta-AnalysisThis variability is commonly attributed to differences in cinnamon species, dosage, intervention duration, baseline glycemic status and phytochemical standardization, alongside methodological factors such as trial quality, dietary patterns, medication use, adherence and endpoint selection.4Okonta EO (2026)The gut microbiome as a plausible but unproven moderator of cinnamon trial outcomes in type 2 diabetes: toward phytochemical standardization and precision nutraceuticals.
