According to WebMD supplements should have a quality seal from one of these organizations: NSF International, Pharmacopeia, or Consumer Labs. So does this product have one of those seals?

I like your question, however, in our world of false everything, we are truly at the mercy of others telling the truth in what they sell, unless you are a chemist and have the means to do your own petri dish tests, we can only hope for the best.

The regular (and cheaper) cinnamon variety contains coumarin which is a toxin. Ceylon is considered premium cinnamon.

Cinnamomum verum, from which Ceylon cinnamon is derived, is native to Sri Lanka. It is also grown elsewhere, though. The old botanical synonym for the tree-Cinnamomum zeylanicum-is derived from Sri Lanka's former name, Ceylon and Sri Lanka still produces 80-90% of the world's supply of Cinnamomum verum. But it is also cultivated on a commercial scale in Seychelles and Madagascar. This package is clearly labeled "Cinnamomum verum J.Presl" which is the binomial name of true Ceylon cinnamon.

According to their website www.simplyorganic.com, NO. Their powdered "cinnamons" are either Cinnamomum burmannii or Cinnamomum loureirii which are considered cassia, not Cinnamomum verum or "Ceylon/True Cinnamon".

Hello Susan! The only difference between ceylon and cassia cinnamon is that ceylon is slightly sweeter and more refined. Both types of cinnamon will provide health benefits. We hope this helps!

Absolutely it is cinnamon - but a special type - like Thai basil is a specific type of basil...and it really really does have wonderful properties unique to Saigon cinnamon. This price is a steal! Once you try you won't ever go back to 'regular' cinnamon!!

I cannot answer your question with a definite yes or no. I tried researching it on the internet and I think it is a blend of ceylon and other asian varieties. I don't honestly know if it is truly " organic ". All I can verify is that it is the best tasting cinnamon I have ever tasted. For me, where it comes from is mute point. IT just has the right "bite" on my tongue. Sorry I am unable to answer your question with a definite yes or no. Harold

The one I received wasn't like that. Was Ceylon tea only. Tasted like original tea without Cinnamon or Chia. Maybe be they sent you a different one, or it's a special blend...

it's labeled as Ceylon cinnamon. Ceylon was the former name for Sri Lanka. So I'm guessing it is.

Ceylon cinnamon is also grown in southern India, Bangladesh, and Southeast Asia. Frontier doesn't specify the origins of it's Ceylon cinnamon.

From what I understand, no. This is the Vietnamese cinnamon, which has a hot, intense flavor. Like Red Hots. I think Ceylon is the European variety, which is more common.

Yes, they are an actual doterra product. They have a pretty strong cinnamon and clove taste to them.

This is not true Ceylon cinnamon, cinnamomum vera. It is listed in the list of ingredients as "cinnamomum cassia", more commonly known as chinese cinnamon, a more generic version.

It has a strong clovelike smell...I really don't smell the cinnamon as much...
