Smaller spikes after meals and a lower morning number, from true Ceylon cinnamon your liver can handle every day.
Smaller Spikes, Lower Morning Number & Fewer Cravings
Trusted by 50,000+ customersTake it with breakfast and dinner for 30 days. Watch your morning number, your snacking and, if you check, your two-hour readings. If you are not glad you bought it, send us a message and you get a full refund. You do not need to ship anything back.
Ceylon bark slows the sugar rush. Compounds in true Ceylon bark slow the enzymes that break carbs into sugar, so a meal reaches your blood in a trickle instead of a flood. That is the smaller two-hour number.
The 10:1 extract makes the dose count. The extract concentrates the active part of the bark. It is why two capsules a day are enough, instead of the four or five that cheap bottles need. No grocery store jar gets you there.
Chromium helps insulin do its job. 200 mcg of chromium picolinate, the mineral tied to how well your cells answer insulin, and to sugar cravings. It is the one most Americans are short on.
Every order ships free and tracked from our US warehouse, and the tracking number is emailed the moment it leaves. You have 30 days from delivery to decide. If it is not for you, send us a message and you get every cent back, with nothing to ship back.
The species and the coumarin number are on the label. Cinnamomum verum, grown in Sri Lanka, coumarin under 0.1%. Cassia cannot print that number. Every batch is checked by an independent US lab for species, coumarin, lead and heavy metals.
Cut a capsule open. You get tan bark powder that smells mild and a little sweet. Cassia smells hot and red, like the candy. Oil softgels leak. If what you find is not Ceylon bark, send it back for every cent.
If it does nothing for you, you pay nothing. Thirty days, every cent back, no return shipment. Take two a day with meals, watch your morning number and your two-hour check, and decide for yourself.

Is this the real Ceylon, or cassia in a Ceylon label?
It is Cinnamomum verum bark from Sri Lanka, with coumarin under 0.1%. That species and that coumarin figure are on the label. Every batch is tested by an independent US lab for species, coumarin and lead. Cut a capsule open: Ceylon bark is tan, mild and a little sweet, not the hot red smell of cassia.
How much cinnamon is really in each capsule?
600 mg of Ceylon cinnamon per capsule, 1,200 mg a day in two capsules. 60 capsules, 30 days. No tiny-print surprise on the back of the bottle.
Does cinnamon actually do anything, or is it just a placebo?
The people who saw nothing were mostly sprinkling the grocery store jar or taking one 500 mg cassia pill a day. The human studies that moved fasting and after-meal numbers used 1 to 3 grams a day for 8 to 12 weeks, every day. Two Dosera capsules give you 1,200 mg of true Ceylon, with a 10:1 extract, so the dose is a working dose. Take it every day with meals and check your numbers. If it does nothing for you, every cent comes back.
How much do I take, and do I take it before a meal?
One capsule with breakfast and one with dinner, with food. If you have a sensitive stomach, start with one a day for the first week, then go to two. Taking both at once on an empty stomach is what gives people the burn.
Can I take it with metformin or my other meds?
If you take blood sugar medication, insulin, blood thinners, or anything for your liver, talk to your doctor first. Bring the bottle. Everything in it is on the label. Cinnamon can lower your numbers, so if you are on insulin or glipizide, check your meter more often the first few weeks.
How long until I see something?
Cravings and snacking ease up first, usually in the first two weeks. The morning number tends to move in weeks two to four. The A1C is a three-month average, so look for it at your next recheck. That is why most people choose the 3-bottle supply.
What if it does nothing for me?
You have 30 days from delivery. Finish the bottle, and if your numbers did not move, send us a message and every cent comes back. You do not need to ship anything back.
Can it be taken if you have acid reflux?
Most people with reflux do fine with Ceylon, because it is much milder than cassia. Take each capsule in the middle of a meal, not before it, and split the two capsules between breakfast and dinner. If you still feel a burn, drop to one a day with your biggest meal.
Where is the cinnamon from, and is it tested for lead?
The bark is grown in Sri Lanka, where true Ceylon comes from. The capsules are made in the USA. Every batch is tested for lead and other heavy metals before it goes in a bottle.
I read that too much cinnamon can hurt you. Is it safe long term?
That warning is about cassia, the grocery store kind. Cassia carries enough coumarin that a daily supplement dose adds up in the liver over months. Ceylon has under 0.1% coumarin, so customers take it year-round. It is not for pregnancy or breastfeeding, and not for children.
I cut one open before I took any. Sweet, mild bark powder, nothing like the hot red smell from the Costco jar. That is how I knew it was the real Ceylon.Diane W. · Boise

Why it keeps happening
You already knew cinnamon was supposed to help. So you shook the big Costco jar over your oatmeal every morning for a year, and the numbers did not care. Then you read the comments about cinnamon and your liver and cut back to a quarter teaspoon. Now you were taking too little to help and still more coumarin than you should.
The jar in almost every American kitchen is cassia. So is the $8 Spring Valley bottle at Walmart: 500 mg a pill, four a day to get anywhere, and "did nothing" is the most common review. The Facebook softgels are worse. People cut them open and found oil, no cinnamon, and a Made in China sticker. Cinnamon did not fail you. The cinnamon you were sold did.
Cassia, high in coumarin. A teaspoon on oatmeal is not a measured dose, and the dose you would need is not safe with cassia.
500 mg of "cinnamon bark" with no species and no coumarin figure on the label. One a day does nothing. Four a day is a liver question.
An MCT oil softgel with a vague amount of cinnamon added, from a company with no working phone number. Buyers cut one open and found oil.
How it works
Three ingredients, each at a dose that does something. Nothing padding the capsule.
Compounds in true Ceylon bark slow the enzymes that break carbs into sugar, so a meal reaches your blood in a trickle instead of a flood. That is the smaller two-hour number.
The extract concentrates the active part of the bark. It is why two capsules a day are enough, instead of the four or five that cheap bottles need. No grocery store jar gets you there.
200 mcg of chromium picolinate, the mineral tied to how well your cells answer insulin, and to sugar cravings. It is the one most Americans are short on.
Not a replacement for your medication. Keep taking what your doctor gave you, and bring your numbers to the recheck.
What changes
Cinnamon is the oldest blood sugar remedy there is, and the one most people buy wrong. Here is what changes when you get the right kind at the right dose.
Ceylon bark slows how fast the sugar in a meal reaches your blood. The two-hour check after a carb-heavy dinner climbs less. Treats do not spike you as much.
The fasting number is the one people watch, and the one that moves first. Customers report it drifting down in weeks two to four.
When the spike is smaller, so is the crash after it, and the crash is what sends you to the pantry. Late-night snacking is often the first thing to go.
True Ceylon carries under 0.1% coumarin. You can take a working dose every single day, for years, without the liver worry that comes with the cassia jar.

A dietitian’s view
Fifteen years in a diabetes education clinic, most of it undoing what the spice aisle taught people.
When a patient tells me they are taking cinnamon, my first question is which kind. Nine times out of ten it is the Costco jar or a cheap cassia pill. At a working dose that is a coumarin load I will not sign off on. So I give them a short list. It has to say Ceylon, Cinnamomum verum, on the label. It has to give the coumarin number. It has to be 1,200 milligrams a day or more, with food, every day, not a sprinkle when you remember. And it has to be tested for lead, because ground cinnamon has been recalled for that. Dosera checks every box on that list, and the two-hour readings my patients bring back are the first ones I have seen cinnamon change.
What to expect
Everyone is different. This is the pattern in the reviews, and it is not overnight.
One with breakfast, one with dinner. No taste, no burps when taken with food. A few people want less dessert by the weekend. Most feel nothing yet, and that is normal.
This is when the fasting number tends to come down, a few points at a time. Snacking between meals eases up for many people.
Smaller climbs after a carb-heavy meal. People say a treat does not spike them the way it used to.
The A1C is a three-month average, so this is the first visit where it can show. Take your meter log with you. Most people stay on it.

I shook the Costco cinnamon on my oatmeal for a year and my after-dinner readings never budged. Turns out that is cassia, and you can't take enough of it anyway. A month on these, one with breakfast and one with supper, and I am seeing 130s instead of 160s at the two-hour check. My husband takes them now too.
Blood work came back high in March and my dad and both his brothers are diabetic, so this matters to me. One with my eggs, one with dinner. The pan dulce run after work has mostly stopped, did not expect that part. Morning number is down about 12 points over six weeks. No taste, easy to swallow.
First three weeks I saw nothing and almost asked for my money back. Week five my after-lunch readings started coming in 20 to 25 points lower. It works, but it took longer than I expected, so one star off. Don't expect it overnight. Give it the full 90 days and keep checking. Staying on it.
My last blood work showed liver enzymes a little high and the pharmacist asked what I was taking. The cheap cinnamon pills I had been on for two years were cassia. Switched to these because the species and the coumarin number are right on the label. Fasting is the same or a little better, and the enzymes came back normal in August.
I bake for a living, so sugar is on my hands all day, and I have had crazy cravings for as long as I can remember. Two weeks in I noticed I was tasting the batter and not finishing the bowl. My A1C in September came back 5.6 from 5.9. I take it with the berberine now.
Seventy-one and borderline. I did not want another prescription. Two months of these with my meals and my fasting went from 118 to 103. My doctor would not say it was the cinnamon, but he looked at the bottle, nodded, and told me to keep doing whatever I was doing. I take them with my oatmeal and coffee.
Works for me.
Smells like real cinnamon when you open the bottle.
two weeks in, fasting down 9 points
Normal size capsule, no burps, none of that powder mess on my hands.
Six weeks of these before my DOT physical. Fasting came in at 101, first time under 110 in years.
got these for my mom, 71, who hates pills. she says they go down fine and her mornings are in the 120s now, def were 140s before

Fair question. Sellers have shipped cassia as Ceylon, oil softgels with no cinnamon in them, and second bottles with no smell at all. Here is how you know.

You get tan bark powder that smells mild and a little sweet. Cassia smells hot and red, like the candy. Oil softgels leak. If what you find is not Ceylon bark, send it back for every cent.
Thirty days, every cent back, no return shipment. Take two a day with meals, watch your morning number and your two-hour check, and decide for yourself.
