Cinna Shield Side Effects and Safety: What to Know Before You Start

The short answer

Cinna Shield is a dietary supplement with a short ingredient list: DNA-verified Ceylon cinnamon extract and MCT oil. According to the maker it contains no drugs, no synthetic hormones and no stimulants. Ceylon is the cinnamon species that is naturally very low in coumarin. If you take insulin, sulfonylureas or blood thinners, or have liver disease, talk to your doctor before you start.

MCT oilA natural oil used as a carrier to support absorption.

Why Ceylon is the right cinnamon for daily use

Cassia — the cinnamon in most grocery stores — is high in coumarin, a compound that can be a concern for the liver at high daily intakes. Ceylon contains only trace amounts. That’s why the species matters for a supplement you take every day, and why Cinna Shield verifies it by DNA.

Who should talk to a doctor first

Never change or stop a prescription on your own. If your readings change, talk to your doctor about it.

How to start comfortably

  2. Don’t double up if you miss a day.
  3. If something doesn’t agree with you, stop, talk to your doctor if needed and contact the maker.
