I've read that cinnamon powder does very well in promoting insulin secretion. I tried it before and really, it made me choke. I can do it at times but it's such a chore that I can't let in as a part of my routine.
I have looked for ways on how to intake maybe at least a tablespoon of cinnamon everyday. As I said I have tried directly spooning it into my throat which is very unpleasant. I have also considered of putting them inside an empty capsule which I did before, when I dried my own bitter gourd fruits. Pound and ground them and placed them inside empty capsules. The thing there is, it's very time consuming.
It's been months actually since I started thinking about cinnamon until I saw this dessert from my childhood that still exist in a local dessert store here.
It's called a "Cathedral Window." It's basically gelatin within a gelatin. After I realized that, It hit me.
I can make an unflavored gelatin and add a whole lot of cinnamon powder to it. It's gonna serve as a binder and it will be easier to swallow.
Just make the jello, cut them into cubes and swallow them every now and then. It's also smooth and it will be easier to swallow. I'm not gonna chew it though. I'm going to treat this as a tablet or a capsule which is interesting since capsules are also made from gelatin.
Now before I run to the nearest store here, please tell me if this is a good idea. Will gelatin interfere with my BG (im gonna use unflavored, sugarfree)? Is cinnamon really effective?
So there, I just wanna ask this here since I know that this forum has all the 1st hand knowledge that will be very helpful to me.
Thanks in advance!
