Ceylon cinnamon / Cinnamomum verum bark preparations: molecular mechanisms & dependencies

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

Human evidence only

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does

Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.

Recorded relationships

What it acts on

Authenticated C. verum bark contained only trace coumarin, whereas the tested cassia-type species contained substantial amounts.

Analytical sampling; no administered human dose
limitations
Botanical identity and product-specific composition matter; traces do not mean zero, and retail products need not be Ceylon.

organism
Cinnamomum verum, cassia, loureiroi and burmannii
plain_language
Ceylon generally had much less coumarin in these samples; the species and product still need checking.

Complete structured claim and evidence
Comparative fingerprinting distinguished C. verum cinnamate-rich profiles from the cassia profiles enriched in procyanidins, dihydrocoumaroyl glycosides and coumarin.
