AUSTIN, Tex.Dietary supplement formulation company Vitatech^® Nutritional Sciences adopted cinnamon through the American Botanical Council's (ABC) Adopt-an-Herb Program. Vitatech's three-year commitment helps ABC keep its HerbMedPro database updated with the latest scientific research on botanicals.

The generosity of Vitatech Nutritional Sciences is vital to supporting our unique non-profit educational mission," said ABC founder and executive director Mark Blumenthal. As cinnamons health benefits are increasingly recognized, particularly in the area of blood sugar control in Type 2 diabetes, ABC is able to ensure that the scientific information on cinnamon in the HerbMedPro database is as current and accurate as possible."
