Taking OTC cinnamon 1/4 tsp each morn to help lower cholesterol. Yes, it effective did so and my doctor said to stay with it because it works for me. This we information was gleaned from the Tufts University study several yrs ago. It was found a benefitual side effect for the study for using it to lower glycemic levels in diabetics.

I have found that a healthy amount of cinnamon in the morning eliminates the sugar "crash" mid-morning if I have eaten sweet things for breakfast. My favorite cinnamon is from Foxgreen.com
