Is the cinnamon Ceylon? And are these vegetarian/vegan?

It doesn't say on the bottle but I have red the ingredients I see no animal products add. It does say gelatin but doesn't say what that is made of. Cinnamon is cinnamon cassia bark. Hope this helps.

Other reviewers on Amazon revealed that this is not Ceylon Cinnamon, considered the safest. I will be looking for ceylon cinnamon now myself since i put lots of it on my oatmeal 3/4 times a week.

From what I have read from the internet, coumarin is a natural or integral component of cinnamon. It did not come from an external source. When a product is organic, it just means no harmful chemical got added to it either from using pesticides in growing the plant or use of chemicals or solvents during the processing of the product in the form that it will be sold. This species of Ceylon cinnamon is supposed to be lower in coumarin content than the cassia species that is sold in spice bottles and that is the reason I bought it and it is supposed to be organic and non-GMO or not genetically modified.

The ingredients listed on the bottle are: Micro Crystalline celluouse, magnesium stearate, silica. The main ingredient is ceylon cinnamon. I hope this information is helpful.

From what I understand, no. This is the Vietnamese cinnamon, which has a hot, intense flavor. Like Red Hots. I think Ceylon is the European variety, which is more common.

I don't know anything about ceylon or cassia. The bottle says for ingredients, organic cinnamon. Certified organic by QAI. When I ordered it I though it was Saigon Cinnamon which I wanted for the flavor. My wife says, it was for her, it taste better than the Saigon. So I don't know about sweet or ceylon or cassia but I would say it is true cinnamon from my perspective. I hope this helps. We put it mostly in coffee but also in dishes and on a few other things.

All cinnamon contains coumarin. This is cassia cinnamon and therefore contains more than ceylon (true) cinnamon. Over-consumption can lead to liver damage, I've read. And those who are sensitive to coumarin should generally avoid cassia. As I understand it, this is the type of cinnamon that Cinnabon uses. I've used it for years with daily consumption in oatmeal and higher amounts in zucchini bread, cookies, and cinnamon rolls. I've had no negative effects. I've fed my infant oatmeal with this cinnamon in it before and she is perfectly fine. Don't use it in those diet fads or in high amounts with coffee.

I think it's more for flavor. I have read that ceylon cinnamon is what you need to consume for health benefits!!

Frontier offers several selections of cinnamon, so this is a good question. I pulled my jar from the cupboard and the only ingredient listed on the bottle is certified organic Ceylon Cinnamon. I love the taste and use it daily, either in a drink with green tea and lemon, or my morning organic oatmeal. I'm not sure why the company used that picture on the bottle, but what's inside is Ceylon Cinnamon. Enjoy!

No, it is a type of Cassia cinnamon (Vietnamese) which is much stronger and sweeter than Ceylon.

http://www.frontiercoop.com/products.php?ct=spicesft&cn=Cinnamon+Powder ... in reading this, they mention both Sri Lanka and India. They do not specifically say where they actually get there product. " True cinnamon, also known as Ceylon cinnamon, is obtained from C. verum, grown in Sri Lanka. It's tan and very mild." "Ceylon (Cinnamomum verum) This cinnamon is native to Sri Lanka (though grown in India, the East and West Indies, and Central America). The cultivated variety grows 8 to 10 feet and resembles a shrub rather than a tree. Most of the product in the U.S. is sold in the stick form."

I couldn't find this particular one labeled as vegan anywhere, so I checked on the Pirate Brand's website. One of their FAQs asked "Are all Pirate Brands' products vegan?" The company's answer was as follows" "Not all Pirate Brands' products are vegan, however, Original Tings, Pirate's Booty Veggie and Pirate's Booty Barrrrrbeque are vegan." I hope that's helpful.I can tell you they're delicious, and very different from the usual cardboard-tasting snacks!

I contacted GreenPacks directly and their response was "Yes, the Ceylon cinnamon powder in our capsules is non-irradiated and certified organic. You should see the wording "Organic Cinnamon" in the supplement facts box on the back of the package."

I would yes they are vegetarian, basically they green garden peas coated with a firery Japanese Wasabi horseradish. They are just a snack food and made in Thailand. This is the best answer I could give.

I looked on the bottle and all it says is organic cinnamon. Sorry I couldn't help.

Yes they are both vegetarian and organic. The tablets are made up of only plant-based ingredients. I originally purchased this product from Whole Foods (where they sold out all the time), but Amazon is a more dependable and cost effective source. These are easily digestible and I was a pillar of health before, during and after my pregnancy... Baby is, too!
