Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an increasingly prevalent public health concern worldwide. It encompasses a cluster of conditions including hypertension, visceral obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance. These abnormalities—often linked to sedentary lifestyles and unbalanced diets—substantially increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
Given the limitations of pharmacological treatments, research is turning toward complementary approaches such as medicinal plants. Among them, cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), rich in phenolic and volatile compounds, shows strong therapeutic potential thanks to its antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hypolipidemic properties.
