7 Reasons People Over 50 Are Switching to Metabella Ceylon Cinnamon
Blood sugar creeping up — and another UTI just weeks after the last one? Whether you’re dreading the next round of antibiotics, trying to stay off yet another prescription, or simply done planning your day around the nearest bathroom, here’s why more and more women over 50 are switching to real Ceylon cinnamon from Sri Lanka.
Save Up To 70% OFFAnother UTI? After 50, You’re Far From Alone
The burning. The constant urge. The call to the doctor, the antibiotics — and a few weeks later, the whole thing starts again. Between 50 and 60% of adult women get a UTI at some point in their lives, and in women over 65 the rate is roughly double that of women overall.
Most women blame themselves: not enough water, the wrong underwear, plain bad luck. But research points to a risk factor that almost never comes up at the pharmacy counter — your blood sugar.
Higher Blood Sugar, More UTIs — Here’s the Connection
The NIH puts it plainly: people with diabetes are more likely to get urinary tract infections — and managing blood glucose can help prevent them. In a study of more than 1,800 women aged 55 to 75, those with diabetes had 2.2 times the odds of a UTI.
Why? When blood sugar runs high, more sugar can end up in the urine, and researchers believe that extra sugar may help bacteria grow. They also point to a weaker immune response and a bladder that doesn’t empty as well. Women with diabetes are also more likely to get the infection back after treatment.
That’s one more reason to take a “borderline” result at your check-up seriously — long before anyone says the word diabetes.
The good news: blood sugar is something you can work on every day. A meta-analysis of 16 clinical trials found that cinnamon significantly lowered fasting blood sugar and insulin resistance in people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Cinnamon vs. E. coli — What the Lab Studies Found
More than 80% of UTIs are caused by one type of bacteria: uropathogenic E. coli. Researchers at the University of Connecticut tested trans-cinnamaldehyde, a natural compound found in cinnamon, against it. On human bladder cells in the lab, it made it harder for E. coli to attach and invade. In a follow-up study, mice fed the compound had less E. coli in the bladder and urethra.
These are lab and animal studies — human trials on UTIs are still to come.
Fewer Sugar Cravings, Steadier Afternoons
That 3 p.m. slump, the cookie you didn’t really want, the sweet tea to get through the afternoon — it’s the blood sugar rollercoaster, and every loop adds more sugar to your day.
Metabella is made to support steady, even blood sugar from morning to night, so you can step off the rollercoaster without giving up the foods you love. Steadier blood sugar is good news for your energy — and one less thing working against your bladder. No caffeine, no crash, nothing to measure.
Real Ceylon — Not High-Coumarin Cassia Like Cheap Cinnamon Pills
Here’s what the spice aisle doesn’t tell you: the most common cinnamon sold in the US is Cassia, not Ceylon (NIH). Cassia is cheap — and it’s loaded with coumarin, a natural compound that can strain the liver in sensitive people.
Germany’s Federal Institute for Risk Assessment calculated that about 2 grams of Cassia a day already reaches the tolerable coumarin limit for a 132-lb adult, and warns that cinnamon supplements can contain high levels of coumarin. Ceylon contains only traces. When you take something every single day — especially after a year with more than your share of pills — that difference matters.
One Softgel a Day — No Powder, No Aftertaste
Teaspoons of gritty powder in your coffee. Three capsules a day. That cinnamon aftertaste. It’s why so many people give up within a couple of weeks.
Metabella is a single, easy-to-swallow softgel: 12:1 Ceylon concentrate suspended in MCT oil. No powder, no taste, nothing to mix — you’re already juggling enough water bottles. In clinical studies, cinnamon was taken every day for weeks to months, so the easier it is, the more likely you’ll stick with it.
One Ingredient. The Dose on the Label. 90 Days to Try It.
Most “blood sugar” and “urinary health” supplements hide behind proprietary blends with a dozen ingredients and no clear dose. Metabella is the opposite: one ingredient — real Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) from Sri Lanka — concentrated 12:1 to a 7,200 mg raw-cinnamon equivalent in every softgel. Third-party lab tested, Non-GMO and gluten-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does blood sugar have to do with UTIs?
According to the NIH, people with diabetes are more likely to get urinary tract infections, and managing blood glucose can help prevent them. In a study of women aged 55–75, those with diabetes had 2.2 times the odds of a UTI. Researchers point to sugar in the urine that may help bacteria grow, a weaker immune response and a bladder that doesn’t empty as well. Metabella isn’t an antibiotic — it’s a daily blood sugar supplement for the long game.
What’s the difference between Ceylon and Cassia cinnamon?
Ceylon (Cinnamomum verum) is “true cinnamon” from Sri Lanka: thin, layered bark with only traces of coumarin. Cassia is the cheaper, harder bark sold in most stores — it averages around 3,000 mg of coumarin per kilogram, according to Germany’s Federal Institute for Risk Assessment.
What does “7,200 mg equivalent” mean?
Each softgel contains a 12:1 concentrate of Ceylon cinnamon — the extract made from 7,200 mg of raw cinnamon bark — suspended in MCT oil.
Can I take it with metformin or other blood sugar medication?
Cinnamon may add to the effect of blood sugar medication. If you take any prescription medication — especially for blood sugar — talk to your doctor before you start, and keep monitoring as usual.
When will I notice a difference?
Blood sugar changes take time. In clinical studies, cinnamon was taken daily for 4 to 18 weeks — so we recommend giving Metabella at least 8–12 weeks of daily use.
