Abstract in brief

Cinnamon, a plant from the Lauraceae family, has been traditionally used worldwide and shows promise in reducing risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), such as high blood pressure, blood sugar, obesity, and abnormal cholesterol levels.
The review explores how cinnamon and its active compounds, like cinnamaldehyde, can help mitigate MetS symptoms by mechanisms such as lowering blood pressure, improving insulin resistance, and reducing lipid levels, which may decrease the risk of CVDs.
Based on clinical data and research, incorporating cinnamon could be a beneficial complementary approach to reduce MetS complications and related mortality, supporting its traditional use in managing these health issues.
