Cinnamaldehyde, the main chemical constituent of
Cinnamon Bark and Cassia essential oils, is well
known for its warm, spicy aroma. A study printed in
the June 2015 issue of the Journal of Cellular
Biochemistry suggests that cinnamaldehyde acts to
support healthy molecular function in the kidneys.*
The molecular environment of kidneys is
dependent on many biochemical pathways.
Biochemical pathways can be thought of as a Rube
Goldberg machine. One molecule stimulates
another molecule to act on a different set of
molecules, and so on, in a chain of events until the
desired outcome is achieved. This study showed
that cinnamaldehyde inactivated the JAK2-
STAT1/STAT3 biochemical pathway in the kidney
cells, which may help keep kidney cells healthy.*
