Is this "cassia" cinnamon?

I've been doing much better in my blood sugars since stopping oral steroids and continuing cassia cinnamon. see this: altmedicine.about.com/od/cinnamon/a/cinnamon.htm

According to what I have read in different places on the web, the Ceylon cinnamon is supposed to have only trace amounts of coumarin, significantly less than Saigon and Cassia cinnamon. It would be nice if Frontier would include exact amounts on their label.

Thanks...couldn't see the label and saw your answer. Just read a medical newsletter than said to use the Ceylon cin. and not the cassia.

I don't believe so. The ingredients read: Ceylon Cinnamon, Gelatin, plant fiber, magnesium Stearate and Silica.

I can't say for sure where it comes from, but it's supposed to be the Vietnamese type. It has a different taste and "heat" than the Ceylon cinnamon I purchased at the same time. I prefer the Ceylon, but that's just me and I wouldn't say this cinnamon is "worse" than the other, just different. I don't bake with it, only use it on steel-cut oatmeal and I switch the types every few days for a change-of-pace. I don't regret buying it.

Yes, it is Cassia cinnamon. I do not know how high the level of Coumarin is or how much is considered a problem. I take the 2 capsules each day and haven't noticed any problems.

I do not know if the cinnamon is irradiated. The packaging does state it is Ceylon Cinnamon.

I don't have any idea about that! ~ I can't even remember when I ordered my bag ... several months ago I'm sure ... and I've just had it "paper clipped" closed - didn't even pit it in a JAR, or zip-lock bag - and it is still VERY YUMMY! I LOVE this cinnamon! I use it in my coffee every morning and it tastes just as fresh (TO ME!) as when I first got it. I don't think you will be disappointed.

NO. It says clearly in the product description - "Organic Vietnamese cinnamon with a 4% oil content." That means this is the Cassia Cinnamon, not Ceylon. It MUST say Ceylon on the package for it to be authentic Ceylon.

Not even close. Ceylon tastes like dust powder once you try this one. This is the best cinnamon I have ever tasted.

No, but their turmeric is. I have had both and honestly would never buy another cinnamon again. IT IS THE BEST!:)

It is Cinnamon Cassia, which has negative effects on the liver when taken regularly. Google it!

I did not find Ceylon on the bottle, only that it is certified natural organic cinnamon. It is really good and keeps my type 2 diabetes under control.

Francesa, this cinnamon is certified organic as presented on the label. It would not be so labeled if GMO'd

I had recently ordered more so waited for the shipment to look at the ingredients. As another reviewer reported below, those ingredients are what is on the package. It seems to me though, that I had emailed the company (www.paleopeople.com) last year to ask what exactly the "Natural Flavors" were. I wasn't given a clear answer though I didn't ask specifically about something like cinnamon. Good luck.
