Let’s dive in and learn more about the delightful world of cinnamon and how it helps to make a perfect cup of Bigelow tea.
Antioxidant Powerhouse
Cinnamon is loaded with antioxidants says a study from University of Milano-Bicocca. These antioxidants, molecules that help fight oxidative stress in the body says Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health , are powerful compounds that can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. A study by Pharmacognosy Res indicates that cinnamon has naturally high antioxidant properties and can potentially reduce the risk of chronic diseases caused by oxidative stress.
