This study was looking at the role of Irisin and the pathology of Parkinson.

From what I understand, IRISIN is naturally elevated by exercise, which could explain the positive impact of exercise on parkinson pathology. As we all love to test new supplements, I had a look at ways to increase irisin through supplementation and found the following:

Not sure if anybody here ever had green kardamom on their stack of supplements and happy to weigh in ?

I put green cardamom in my curries! Yum.

[Boscoejean in reply to LAJ12345]

is it spicy as in hot?

[LAJ12345 in reply to Boscoejean]

no, but a very strong taste so you couldn’t eat the quantities required. It’s scenty. Like chai tea. Or like nutmeg and cinnamon are scenty. But different flavour.

Cardamom

[Boscoejean in reply to LAJ12345]

I wanted to be sure it was not spicy because my husband has a history of GERD and SIBO

[LAJ12345 in reply to Boscoejean]

or you can make tea . Cinnamon from Ceylon is good for you too! Not cassia though.

[LAJ12345 in reply to Boscoejean]

we drink the cinnamon with cocoa as a hot drink but I might try a variation with cardamom now!

i used to put cardamon seeds in my chai...along with cinnamon, ginger, turmeric and black pepper with oats milk...delicious and worth trying to include it in my days...
