Is it true that cinnamon each day helps in lowering blood pressure?

Hello, I am a 44 years old male. I joined yoga classes a few months ago because I was facing various health issues like high blood pressure, shortness of breath, and high cholesterol. When I discussed it with my yoga trainer he suggested some remedies. According to him, cinnamon each day will help in lowering my blood pressure? Is it true? Should I give it a try?

@bren Hello, I never tried it but heard and read a lot about this. According to a few studies Cinnamon appears to help dilate and relax the blood vessels, which may help lower blood pressure. Cinnamon is easy to incorporate into meals. Concentrated cinnamon supplements are another option. It is important to be cautious since dietary supplements are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. If you are taking other medications or herbal supplements, always consult with your healthcare provider. You can give it a try after asking your doctor. Thank you
