HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ceylon Cinnamon 4000 mg by Carlyle

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Ceylon Cinnamon” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (4,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: Ceylon Cinnamon Bark Extract at 4000 mg per serving. The extract comes as part of a blend with inactive ingredients — rice powder, gelatin, magnesium stearate, and silica — that serve as fillers and capsule materials.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Cassia Cinnamon product and its label doesn't state a use — see Cassia Cinnamon's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for Ceylon cinnamon's effectiveness isn't established in our data. The facts we hold show insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for common conditions people ask about, including diabetes, blood sugar control, high cholesterol (dyslipidemia), diarrhea, and common cold.

If you're considering this supplement for a specific health concern, talk with your pharmacist about what the broader research shows.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Ceylon Cinnamon Cassia Cinnamon

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Cinnamon in food amounts is generally well tolerated. At supplement doses — especially high doses over a long time — there's concern about liver damage because cinnamon contains coumarin, a compound that can harm the liver in large quantities.

In clinical trials, doses ranging from 360 mg to 12 grams daily for three months did not significantly raise liver enzyme levels, but very high coumarin doses (50–7000 mg per day) have caused reversible liver damage in humans. A small number of trial participants reported a rash or allergic skin reaction.

One person had a seizure with low blood sugar (hypoglycemic seizure) while taking cinnamon, though the link is unclear. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, food amounts are likely fine, but avoid concentrated supplement doses because safety data is limited.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Cassia Cinnamon.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 443 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking Carlyle's Ceylon Cinnamon, check with your pharmacist if you take drugs that stress the liver (hepatotoxic drugs) or diabetes medications. Cinnamon may lower blood sugar and could theoretically add to liver strain at high supplement doses.

Altogether, these interactions span 443 individual medications.

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 is worth a conversation with your pharmacist, especially if you take diabetes medications or drugs that affect the liver. The evidence for its effectiveness isn't solid in the data we hold, so ask yourself whether you have a specific reason to try it.

Before you start, check your exact medications against the list on this page.

Ceylon Cinnamon 4000 mg by Carlyle: Common Questions

Does Ceylon Cinnamon 4000 mg by Carlyle interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Ceylon Cinnamon 4000 mg has a known interaction with 599 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Ceylon Cinnamon 4000 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is this safe to use while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Food amounts of cinnamon are likely fine, but high-dose supplements like this one haven't been studied enough in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before you start — they can weigh the benefits and risks for your situation.
Will this lower my blood sugar?
Cinnamon may lower blood glucose, which is why it could interact with diabetes medications. If you have diabetes or take blood-sugar-lowering drugs, you'll want to check with your pharmacist first.
Can too much cinnamon hurt my liver?
Yes — there's concern about liver damage with high-dose supplements taken over time because cinnamon contains coumarin. In clinical trials at lower doses (360 mg to 12 grams daily for three months), liver enzymes didn't rise much, but very high coumarin doses have caused reversible liver damage in humans. If you take medications that affect the liver, ask your pharmacist before starting.
Does Ceylon cinnamon work for diabetes or high cholesterol?
The evidence we have is insufficient to rate this supplement for diabetes, high cholesterol, or most other conditions. If you're looking at it for a specific health issue, talk with your pharmacist about what research exists outside our data.
What's in this product besides the cinnamon?
The capsule contains rice powder, gelatin, magnesium stearate, and silica — these are inactive ingredients that serve as fillers and help make the capsule.
Could I have an allergic reaction to cinnamon?
Allergic reactions to cinnamon are uncommon but possible. A small number of trial participants reported a rash, and in rare cases, people allergic to cinnamic alcohol (a compound in cinnamon) have had skin reactions. If you have a known cinnamon allergy, avoid this product.
