Cinnamon is a safe, purine-free spice with potential anti-inflammatory and urate-lowering effects in animal research.

Good
  • As a culinary spice, it adds flavor with negligible purines. Early animal studies suggest its compounds may help lower uric acid and reduce inflammation.
Bad
  • Clinical evidence in humans is too weak to support therapeutic use. Large amounts of honey-sweetened cinnamon could add problematic fructose. Concentrated supplements may interact with medications.
