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 1,000 mg per dose. The only other ingredient listed is dextrin, which is an inactive filler used to carry and stabilize the powder.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold for cassia cinnamon doesn't support it for any condition we have on file. The effectiveness data rates it as having insufficient reliable evidence for amenorrhea, angina, common cold, diabetes, diarrhea, and dyslipidemia (abnormal cholesterol levels).
That means the evidence available isn't strong enough to say whether it works for these uses or not.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Cassia seed extract is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but supplement doses—especially high ones taken for a long time—warrant caution because of coumarin content and the risk of liver effects over time. In clinical trials, side effects were uncommon: one person reported a rash after taking 1 gram daily for 90 days, and one person experienced a hypoglycemic seizure (low blood sugar seizure), though it's unclear if the supplement caused it.
There are also rare case reports of allergic skin reactions in people with sensitivity to cinnamon compounds.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your diabetes medications (blood sugar–lowering drugs) with your pharmacist before starting; cassia cinnamon may lower blood sugar further. Also flag any medications that can harm the liver, since large doses of this extract over time could theoretically add to that risk.
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 may be worth considering if you're curious about cassia cinnamon for general wellness, but it's not established to work for any specific condition in the data we hold. If you take diabetes medications or any drug that can affect your liver, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting—dose adjustments might be needed.

Cassia Seed Extract Powder 1000 mg by BulkSupplements.com Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Cassia Seed Extract Powder by BulkSupplements.com does interact with medications, and you'll want to check your exact prescriptions before starting.
The biggest concern is with drugs used to treat diabetes. Cassia cinnamon (the active ingredient here) may lower your blood sugar, so if you're on diabetes medications, there's a risk of additive effects—meaning your blood sugar could drop too far.
Your doctor may need to adjust your diabetes medication dose.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The other documented interaction involves drugs that can harm the liver (hepatotoxic drugs). In theory, large doses of this extract could add to that liver stress over time, since cassia cinnamon contains coumarin, a compound that has shown liver toxicity in animal studies.
Human cases at very high coumarin doses (50–7,000 mg daily) have shown liver damage that reversed when the coumarin stopped, but clinical trials of cassia cinnamon at supplement doses (360 mg to 12 grams daily for 3 months) did not significantly raise liver enzymes.
Altogether, these interactions span 443 individual medications. Use the medication checker on this page to look up your specific drugs before you start.

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.
