Ceylon Cinnamon Tincture - Liquid Extract

HawaiiPharm offers Ceylon Cinnamon in two liquid formats. The Ceylon Cinnamon Tincture uses food-grade alcohol as the primary solvent, the traditional method of herbal liquid extraction. The Ceylon Cinnamon Glycerite is an alcohol-free alternative using vegetable glycerin and purified water as solvents. Both formats are prepared from the same Cinnamomum verum dried bark and manufactured in HawaiiPharm's FDA-registered Hawaii facility with identity and purity testing on each batch.

Cinnamomum verum is an evergreen tree of the Lauraceae family - the laurel family, which also includes bay laurel (Laurus nobilis), avocado (Persea americana), and sassafras - native to Sri Lanka, which was historically known as Ceylon, giving rise to the common name Ceylon cinnamon. The genus name Cinnamomum derives through Latin from the Greek kinnamomon, itself tracing back through Phoenician and Hebrew qinnamon to a Southeast Asian source word. Cinnamon has been traded for at least 4,000 years; ancient Egyptians imported it as a luxury spice, and it appears in records of the ancient Mediterranean trade networks under names suggesting its distant origin. In the medieval European spice trade, Ceylon cinnamon was among the most valuable commodities in the world. The Portuguese established the first direct European presence in Ceylon in 1518 and controlled the cinnamon trade until the Dutch East India Company (VOC) displaced them in 1658; the Dutch subsequently maintained a near-monopoly on Ceylon cinnamon for over a century. The true cinnamon quill (C. verum) is formed by rolling multiple thin layers of inner bark into a fine, tan-colored cylinder; this distinguishes it visually and texturally from C. cassia, which forms a single thicker, darker roll. Linnaeus described the species as C. zeylanicum in 1767; it was later synonymized to C. verum under botanical nomenclature rules.

Ceylon Cinnamon extract is derived from the dried inner bark of Cinnamomum verum. Cinnamaldehyde, the principal volatile constituent of cinnamon bark, is a known contact sensitizer at elevated concentrations; individuals with known sensitivity to cinnamon, cinnamaldehyde, or other members of the Lauraceae family (including bay laurel, sassafras, and avocado) should use this supplement with caution. Some individuals may experience mild gastrointestinal discomfort from concentrated cinnamon bark extracts; if GI discomfort occurs, reduce the serving size or discontinue use. Pregnant or nursing individuals should consult a qualified healthcare professional before use, as the safety of concentrated Cinnamomum verum bark extract during pregnancy has not been established. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you are taking any prescription medications or managing an existing health condition. Do not exceed the suggested serving size.
