Description
Liquan Zhou and co-authors isolate a blood-sugar-lowering compound from cinnamon bark in this 2026 study. The compound, named CCP1A, is a purified sugar chain from Cinnamomum cassia, a spice long used in food and folk medicine.
The team mapped its makeup: mostly glucose and one acid sugar, built in a stable spiral shape. In mice made diabetic by a fatty diet plus a low drug dose, four weeks of CCP1A lowered fasting blood sugar in step with dose. It also improved fat levels, eased thirst and hunger, and reduced pancreas damage. It worked partly by slowing gut enzymes that release sugar from food.
