Do you often suffer from indigestion?

Are you constantly bloated from gas, or nervous about straying far from the bathroom because of diarrhea?

You’re probably used to reaching for over-the-counter pharmaceutical remedies that may help for a while, but don’t really treat the underlying cause of your digestive disorders. If you’re searching for more permanent relief, that addresses the root of your gastrointestinal problems, our cinnamon-infused apple vinegar drink may be able to help.*

Cinnamon is just one of 14 organically-grown herbs and spices we use to make Vim & Vigor, our unique apple vinegar drink. Let’s take a look at the health benefits of cinnamon, and why many people are able to find relief from their digestive problems by taking our apple vinegar drink.

Where Does Cinnamon Come From?

It might surprise you to learn that cinnamon is harvested from tree bark, specifically the bark of evergreen trees that belong to the genus Cinnamomum. To access the bark that will eventually be ground into the fragrant spice we know and love, cinnamon farmers shave off the tree’s outer layers of bark until they expose the “cinnamon” layer beneath. Most cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka.

The Soothing Benefits Of Cinnamon In Our Apple Vinegar Drink

Cinnamon has a long history of medicinal use, even though American scientific studies about its health benefits are lacking and often produced mixed results. In Germany, however, cinnamon has been approved by the government for the treatment of intestinal spasms due to its gas-relieving properties. Some have also found that cinnamon’s mild astringent qualities make it useful for treating diarrhea, which is often the result of bacterial imbalance in the gastrointestinal tract.*

Featuring over a dozen organically-grown herbs, it’s no surprise that Vim & Vigor contains a few ingredients that people haven’t heard of before. Each of these herbs and spices is carefully selected because of their potential as health-boosting natural supplements, and many have been used medicinally for centuries.

From time to time we like to feature one of our ingredients so that people can learn more about the power of plants, and why we chose to include certain herbs and spices in our natural supplement products.

Last time, we took an in-depth look at a unique ingredient known as black cohosh and this time we’ll explore an ingredient called black walnut.

Like black cohosh, black walnut is native to the United States, although it’s natural growing zone is a bit more restricted. “The black walnut is a large deciduous tree that is native to the eastern United States, as well as certain parts of Southern Canada. The female flowers of this tree bloom and turn into a nut, usually in clusters of four or five. These can then be harvested for various uses, including the medicinal benefits of both the husk and the nut itself,” explains OrganicFacts.com.

Unlike the slightly more exotic black cohosh, black walnuts have remained a popular food source in America ever since the mid-1600s. Today you can find it in many popular foods, including candy, ice cream, salad, and various chicken and pasta dishes. 

Several scientific studies have concluded that including walnuts in your regular diet can boost heart health and regulate cholesterol levels. There’s also research that suggests black walnuts are a natural enemy of candida, a yeast-like fungus that can create all sorts of health problems.
