Cinnamon and B2- Two Fat-Fighting Supplements

I am a big fan of vitamins, and I don't think they ever get enough attention, especially with all the ways they can help your body and skin that many of us don't even know about!

I recently learned about Cinnamon and Vitamin B2, two big fat fighters.

Here is how they work:

Cinnamon- Helps lower blood sugar levels and helps control cholesterol. This is especially helpful for those suffering from Type 2 Diabetes.

Vitamin B2- Helps your body metabolize carbohydrates and fats. (It is also known to help with migraine headaches)

Most Cinnamon supplements advise you to take the supplements prior to meals. Dosage varies by product, but I located a great formula by Good n' Natural that also contains Chromium Piccolinate, another fat metabolizer. With this formula, you also only have to take one tablet per day. It is available at Amazon for $17.99 online. Good N Natural Cinnamon with Chromium Piccolinate, 1000 MG.

For Vitamin B2, Good N Natural also offers a deal on Amazon for $6.99, Good N' Natural Vitamin B2. Females aged 19 years and older should only take 1.1 mg (RDA) maximum per day.

Order the two together  on Amazon (or any vitamin combo over $20), and you get a free bottle of Omega 3- Fish Oil, (see my post on Take your Vitamins!) which is great for your heart and skin.
