Cassia Cinnamon — Improve Equine

Description

One ingredient. Cassia cinnamon bark, in whole-nugget form. That’s it.

Cassia cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) is the bold, spicy, warming cinnamon most people grew up with — and one of the most recognizable kitchen spices in the world. Human-grade, organically sourced, one pure ingredient, no blends.

Why whole-nugget form? We keep our Apothecary Cassia cinnamon as small bark nuggets (rather than powder) for a specific reason: when you infuse them in a water bucket, the nugget absorbs moisture first and then gradually releases its aromatic compounds back out — giving you a cleaner, stronger, more sustained water infusion than powder alone. It’s the Apothecary approach in action. (Note: our Flavors line uses Ceylon cinnamon powder instead, because powder integrates better into pre-blended fruit-and-herb formulations.)

Ceylon vs. Cassia — what’s the difference?

Both are real cinnamon — but they come from different species with different compound profiles. Cassia (Cinnamomum cassia, this product) is the bolder, spicier, more aromatic one — what most people think of when they say “cinnamon.” Ceylon (Cinnamomum verum) is the milder, citrusy “true cinnamon.” We offer both, species-matched: Cassia for horses (where the bold profile shines in water infusions), Ceylon for dogs (where smaller body weight makes Ceylon the better daily choice).

Part of the Farmily

The Cassia cinnamon nuggets appear in the Water Buffet Kit and Sampler Mix. If you’re looking for cinnamon in a pre-blended hydration mix instead, our Flavors line uses Ceylon cinnamon powder — see Basic Batch, As American As, Caked Up Carrot, and Soul Soup. For dogs, our Ceylon Cinnamon — Improve Canine.

Improve Equine is made in Land O’ Lakes, Florida. Horse person first, business person second — which is why we list the one ingredient plainly and source it like we’d source it for ourselves.
