Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effect of cinnamon on body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), and body fat mass including the maximum number of studies.
Methods: Medline, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Cochrane library were searched with no limitation from inception up to August 2019 for relevant randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs). The RCTs' risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane collaboration's tool. Random-effects model was used for meta-analysis.
Results: Twenty-one RCTs with 1,480 participants were included. The meta-analysis showed that cinnamon supplementation significantly reduces BMI [weighted mean difference (WMD) = -0.40 kg/m , 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.57, -0.22 kg/m , p < .001, I = 78.9%], body weight (WMD = -0.92 kg; 95% CI: -1.51, -0.33 kg; p = .002; I = 84.2%), and WHR (WMD = -0.02, 95% CI: -0.038, -0.018; p < 0.001; I = 0%). Cinnamon supplementation did not significantly affect the WC (WMD = -1.76 cm, 95% CI: -3.57, -0.045 cm; p = .056; I = 90.8%) and body fat mass (WMD = -0.87%, 95% CI: -1.87, 0.025%; p = .057; I = 78.6%).
Conclusion: Cinnamon supplementation significantly reduces body weight, BMI, and WHR. Future high-quality long-term RCTs are recommended to confirm these results.

The benefits of plant essential oils (EO) on the health of animals have been frequently reported, but their alteration of lipid metabolism in obese pigs has yet to be explored. This study aimed to assess the impact of EO blends (oregano, cinnamon and lemon oils) on growth performance, meat physicochemical parameters, intestinal health and lipid metabolism in the small intestine of weaned Bamei (a kind of obese-type pig) piglets. One hundred and forty-four male 60-day-old weaned Bamei piglets were randomly assigned to three groups of six replicates each: CON (basal diet), T1 (basal diet + 250 mg/kg EO), and T2 (basal diet + 500 mg/kg EO) over 28 days.

The efficacy of herbal supplements in mitigating heavy metals (HMs) toxicity was investigated using a widely grown fish, the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The experiment was conducted over two phases: during the stress phase, the experimental fishes were exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of HMs, including lead, cadmium, zinc, and copper for 15 days; following which during the feeding phase, herbal supplements were given for 70 days to ameliorate their effects. Seven groups were established: the control negative group (CON-ve), control positive group (CON+ve, without any treatment), and five groups with supplementation of 1% turmeric (TUR), cinnamon (CIN), ginger (GIN), garlic (GAR), and their mixture (MIX), respectively.

Aims: Cinnamon has positive effects on markers of cardiometabolic health, including blood pressure (BP), oxidative stress, and inflammation. Despite the evidence accumulated from meta-analysis studies on the effects of cinnamon on these markers, the reported findings are still controversial. This umbrella review was conducted to evaluate the evidence and provide a definitive clarification.
