The Claim
Ceylon cinnamon extract promotes the disassembly of pre-formed recombinant tau filaments and alters the morphology of paired-helical filaments isolated from Alzheimer's disease brain tissue in vitro.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
A type of cinnamon called Ceylon cinnamon might break apart abnormal protein clumps in the brain that are linked to Alzheimer’s disease, and change what these clumps look like under a microscope.
