A new study suggests that commonly consumed cinnamon may interfere with certain medicines, affecting their efficacy. The spice's anti-inflammatory properties have led to its use as a supplement for various health conditions, but the findings highlight potential interactions with medications.
A recent study suggests that consuming cinnamon may interfere with certain medicines due to its active compound, cinnamaldehyde, which can inhibit the activity of medications such as blood thinners and diabetes medications. The spice's anti-inflammatory properties are also being closely monitored for potential interactions with painkillers and other prescription medications. Researchers recommend that individuals taking these medications consult with their doctors before consuming cinnamon or any supplements containing it. Further studies are needed to fully understand the impact of cinnamon on medication efficacy.
