Behind the Feed - Cinnamon (Low Calorie)

Behind the feed: Cinnamon, in Low Calorie Feed Balancer

Cinnamon has been used for thousands of years as spice flavouring in food. More recently, scientific research has shown that it helps to reduce the blood sugar spikes following meals and that if eaten long term it can reduce blood glucose levels and increase insulin sensitivity. This is especially beneficial as part of a super concentrated feed balancer as the daily feeding rate is also very small.
