š²Cassia is the most common type of cinnamon and is less expensive than Ceylon. Cassia contains coumarin which is a compound that can cause damage to the liver and kidneys. Even a dose of 1-2 teaspoons of CASSIA cinnamon can be too much for the body. Ceylon cinnamon does contain small trace amounts of coumarin but contains significantly less than cassia.ā
šš»Ceylon is a higher quality and safer type of cinnamon to use.ā

šš»If you currently use cinnamon in your kitchen or supplements I highly recommend switching to Ceylon Cinnamon.ā
