Trans-cinnamoylglycine/Creatinine

Trans-cinnamoylglycine is a metabolite produced when your body breaks down cinnamon. This test measures its level in urine relative to creatinine (a kidney waste product used to normalize urine concentration). Elevated levels suggest high cinnamon consumption or exposure. This marker is sometimes used in research or clinical settings to track dietary cinnamon intake objectively. It may also indicate exposure to cinnamates or related compounds. This test provides information about metabolism and dietary patterns, particularly in studies examining cinnamon's metabolic effects or in monitoring compliance with dietary interventions.
