Methyl hydroxychalcone explained

Methyl hydroxychalcone is a chalconoid found in cinnamon. It was thought to be an insulin mimetic, improving insulin response of diabetics.[1] It has since been determined that a flavonoid (cinnamtannin B1) is responsible for the insulin-like biological activity.[2]
