Sun Ten Rou Gui | Cinnamon Bark | 肉桂 / Default Title

Rou Gui is cinnamon bark concentrated into granules, so you skip the spice rack entirely.

What Is Rou Gui, Actually

Rou Gui is the Chinese name for cinnamon bark, specifically Cinnamomum cassia, and it has been part of traditional herbal practice for a long time. Sun Ten takes the actual bark, extracts it, and turns it into a granule form that dissolves in water instead of making you gnaw on a stick of tree skin. Which, if you think about it, is what cinnamon technically is. Bark. From a tree. We just don't usually think about that when it's on toast.

This is a traditional Chinese herbal formula, not a breakfast topping, and Sun Ten makes it using their standard concentrated granule process, which is a fancy way of saying they cook it down so you get more herb and less water weight per scoop. You mix it, you drink it, you move on with your day.

Why People Keep This One Around

In traditional use, Rou Gui is considered a "warming" herb, the kind that shows up in formulas meant to support the body's normal internal balance. That's a broad traditional concept, not a medical claim, and we're going to leave it right there, broad, the way tradition intended.

• Supports healthy digestive comfort
• Supports healthy circulation as part of normal body function
• Supports a healthy inflammatory response
• Supports healthy blood sugar levels already in the normal range
• Traditionally used to support the body's normal warming balance

None of that means it fixes anything that's broken. It means it supports things that are already working the way they're supposed to, which is the entire, slightly less exciting, point of a dietary supplement.

How To Take It

It's a granule, so it dissolves in warm water like instant coffee that decided to have a completely different personality. Follow the label for exact serving amounts, because that part isn't a bit, that part is just the dosage, and dosages don't get punchlines.

Why Sun Ten

Sun Ten has been producing standardized granule extracts for practitioners and households for decades, which mostly means their process is consistent batch to batch. That matters more than it sounds like it should. Nobody wants their cinnamon bark to be a surprise.
