What is cassia extract?

Cassia bark, also known as Chinese cinnamon or Cinnamomum cassia, is a spice derived from the inner bark of the cassia tree, a plant native to southern China and Southeast Asia.

Cassia Bark Powder is prized for its warm, sweet-spicy flavor and potent bioactive compounds, including cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, and polyphenols, which contribute to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and blood sugar-regulating properties. Widely used in nutraceuticals, functional foods, and traditional medicine, it supports metabolic health, immune function, and digestive wellness.
