Researchers from Dankook University in Korea tested their hypothesis that cinnamon bark (Cinnamomi Cortex Spissus), the dried bark of Cinnamomum cassia Blume (Lauraceae), and its components are effective against Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The results of their study, which demonstrated the potential of cinnamon bark in reducing the production of the beta-amyloid protein, were published in the journal Nutrition Research.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that cinnamon bark extracts contain potentially valuable anti-amyloidogenic agents for the prevention and treatment of AD.
