Abstract in brief

  • This umbrella meta-analysis found that cinnamon supplementation significantly reduces body weight and BMI, especially at a dose of 3 grams per day, suggesting it could be used as a complementary weight loss aid.
  • The study analyzed data from multiple meta-analyses and concluded that cinnamon's effect on waist circumference was not significant, even though it helped reduce overall body weight and BMI.
  • Overall, this research provides strong evidence that cinnamon might be an effective and practical supplement for managing obesity, particularly in women with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome).]
