I have a problem with ammonia build up due to crappy meat digestion. Is ceylon cinnamon safe? Does it do anything suspect like block testosterone or dht. I do not want any bad hormonal effects like that.

Did you ever find any info on it? And subsequently try it?

Thought of this:


"
ME: Ceylon cinnamon seems to be much lower in harmful substances than the typical store bought type. Do you think ceylon cinnamon is safe and or beneficial for consumption? Thank you!

Ray Peat: I think it might be safer to use the metabolite, benzoic acid, because of the reactivity of the cinnamaldehyde, which I suspect might react with larger molecules to produce allergens.
"


Although I haven't myself noticed any negative effects from it, with really high amounts of ceylon cinnamon oil it feels serotonergic, possibly because of it being super strong/irritating even when diluted.
