Also, be aware that Cinnamaldehyde, the compound that gives cinnamon its signature scent and flavour, can, according to researchers, activate certain enzymes in the liver that speed up the breakdown of specific medications in the body. That means some of your meds could get flushed out before they even have a chance to work. Just a suggestion, take your medication in a 2 hour window before taking cinnamon.
