Cinnamon supplementation positively and significantly affected diastolic blood pressure and significantly affected systolic blood pressure when taken for at least 8 weeks.

A recent meta-analysis of 9 randomized clinical trials reported that cinnamon supplementation can boost blood pressure by a modest degree overall. Significant reductions in both diastolic and systolic blood pressure lessened when using 2 grams or more a day of cinnamon for at least 8 weeks.

Cinnamon is mentioned as an advantageous choice for diabetic hypertensive patients.
