HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cassia Seed Extract Powder 1000 mg by BulkSupplements.com
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
This product contains one active ingredient: Cassia Seed Extract at 1000 mg per serving. Cassia cinnamon (the plant this extract comes from) has been studied for a range of uses, though the evidence for most of them isn't yet reliable enough to call it proven.
The powder also contains dextrin as an inactive ingredient to help with texture and absorption.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for cassia cinnamon isn't established in the data we hold for amenorrhea, angina, common cold, diabetes, diarrhea, or unhealthy cholesterol levels (dyslipidemia). That means there isn't enough reliable research yet to say whether it works for any of these.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Cassia cinnamon is generally well tolerated in the amounts you'd eat as a food or spice. However, at supplement doses — especially high ones taken over weeks or months — there's concern about its coumarin content and potential liver harm over time.
In one clinical trial, one person taking 1 gram daily for 90 days developed a rash. There's also a rare case report of contact dermatitis from cinnamon in someone with a known allergy to a cinnamon compound.
One person in a trial reported a low blood sugar seizure (hypoglycemia) while taking 1 gram daily for 3 months, though it's unclear if the extract caused it.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your pharmacist before taking this if you're on diabetes medications (it may lower blood sugar further) or drugs known to stress the liver. Altogether, these interactions span 443 individual medications — use the search tool below to verify your exact prescriptions.
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.
This product works best if you're curious about cassia cinnamon's traditional uses, but the evidence for those uses isn't solid yet. If you take diabetes medications or have liver concerns, or if you're on any drug that's hard on the liver, check your specific medications with the tool on this page before you start.
Talk to your pharmacist if you're unsure.

Cassia Seed Extract Powder 1000 mg by BulkSupplements.com Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Cassia Seed Extract Powder by BulkSupplements.com does interact with certain medications, and the main concern is with drugs that are hard on the liver (hepatotoxic drugs).
In theory, large doses of this extract might add to that stress over time, because cassia cinnamon contains coumarin — a compound that can damage the liver with very high doses taken long-term. This is a Moderate-severity concern.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The other key interaction is with diabetes medications. Cassia cinnamon may lower blood sugar (glucose) on its own, so taking it alongside diabetes drugs could theoretically have an additive effect and push your blood sugar too low.
That's also Moderate severity, and it might mean your doctor needs to adjust your diabetes medication dose.
Altogether, these interactions span 443 individual medications. Before you start this product — especially if you take any medication for liver health, diabetes, or blood sugar control — run your exact drugs through the checker below.

For each ingredient in Cassia Seed Extract Powder 1000 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Cassia Seed Extract
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.
