NATURTREU Flammengarde in the check: Frankincense-turmeric complex with ginger & cinnamon

Composition overview

The compounds one by one

Cinnamon

See the BLUTZUCKER article in detail: small to moderate, inconsistent effects on fasting glucose . In this complex, however, cinnamon is one of four components and correspondingly lower dosed.

Turmeric / curcumin

Curcumin is intensively researched. For insulin sensitivity and inflammatory markers there are studies with favourable results, partly also in prediabetes . The main problem is poor bioavailability – without piperine or a special formulation, little is absorbed.

Frankincense (boswellia)

Mainly studied for inflammatory joint complaints. A link to glucose metabolism is not robustly documented .

Ginger

Mixed data, see above.

Classification: This complex is clearly aimed at inflammation and joints, not at blood sugar. The cinnamon and turmeric content makes it marginally interesting for my topic – no more than that.

Tolerability and limits

Turmeric preparations can affect the action of anticoagulants and are not suitable in biliary tract disease. Clarify medically with existing medication.

How I want to check this

Secondary: as the complex does not primarily target glucose, I am not planning my own CGM series here, only a tolerability observation.

All of my own measurements are labelled as a single-case observation (n=1) and cannot be transferred to other people.
