HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cassia by Herbal Terra
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Cassia is a liquid with one active ingredient, cassia bark extract, dry. Cassia is a type of cinnamon, and this extract is the part responsible for the effects and interactions described on this page.
The inactive ingredients listed are alcohol, water, and glycerin. These are not active ingredients, and they serve as the liquid base rather than as the source of the product's purpose.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
Our data does not establish that Cassia works for any of the uses we track. Each condition we rate (amenorrhea, angina, common cold, diabetes, diarrhea, and dyslipidemia) is listed as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate.
In practical terms, the research we hold does not show whether cassia helps with these conditions, so it should not be relied on for them without guidance from your own healthcare provider.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Cassia is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but the safety notes caution that supplement doses high in coumarin may harm the liver over time. In studies, a rash appeared in a small number of trial participants, and a low blood sugar seizure was reported in a small number of trial participants, though it is unclear whether cassia caused it.
For pregnancy, the rating on file is Likely Safe. The safety notes still advise avoiding medicinal or high-dose supplement amounts during pregnancy, and anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding should talk with their own doctor or pharmacist about their situation.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Anyone taking liver-toxic drugs (hepatotoxic drugs) should double-check with their doctor or pharmacist before taking Cassia, since the interaction is rated Moderate. People taking antidiabetes drugs should also double-check, because the same Moderate rating applies and their dose may need adjusting.
Check your exact medications using the search tool on this page.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Cassia may be of interest to people looking at a cinnamon-based liquid, but the evidence for its uses is not established in our data. People taking diabetes medicines or drugs that affect the liver should be especially careful and review the product with their own doctor or pharmacist before using it.
Anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, or using a high-dose supplement should also get personal advice first.

Cassia by Herbal Terra Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Cassia by Herbal Terra interacts with some medications through its only active ingredient, cassia bark extract, which is the source of every interaction we document.
The most serious of these is with liver-toxic drugs (hepatotoxic drugs), rated Moderate. Large doses taken over an extended period may add to strain on the liver, because cassia contains coumarin, which can cause liver injury in animal models.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The other documented interaction is with antidiabetes drugs, also rated Moderate. Cassia may lower blood glucose, so it can add to the effect of diabetes medicines, and dose adjustments might be necessary.
Altogether, these interactions span 445 individual medications.
Because both interactions are documented for this one ingredient, there is no interaction-free ingredient to note here. To see whether a specific medication is included, use the search tool on this page, and talk with your own doctor or pharmacist before combining this product with any prescription.

Cassia Bark Extract, Dry
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, cassia cinnamon may have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs.
Cassia cinnamon may lower blood glucose levels, and have additive effects in patients treated with antidiabetic agents. Dose adjustments to diabetes medications might be necessary.
Hepatotoxic Drugs
Theoretically, large doses of cassia cinnamon might cause additive effects when used with hepatotoxic drugs.
There is some concern that ingesting large amounts of cassia cinnamon for an extended duration might cause hepatotoxicity in some people. Cassia cinnamon contains coumarin, which can cause hepatotoxicity in animal models. In humans, very high doses of coumarin from 50-7000 mg/day can result in hepatotoxicity that resolves when coumarin use is discontinued. Lower amounts might also cause liver problems in sensitive people, such as those with liver disease or those taking potentially hepatotoxic agents.
