HelloPharmacist Scorecard of CinnaMedic Cinnamon by Wonder Laboratories
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
CinnaMedic Cinnamon is a single-ingredient product: Cinnulin PF, a standardized extract of cassia cinnamon. The capsule also contains three inactive ingredients—cellulose, silica, and magnesium stearate—which are fillers and binders that help hold the capsule together.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for cassia cinnamon is not established for the conditions listed in our data: amenorrhea, angina, common cold, diabetes, diarrhea, and dyslipidemia (abnormal cholesterol levels) all show insufficient reliable evidence to rate. That means the studies we have aren't strong enough to say whether it works for these uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Cassia cinnamon is generally well tolerated in the amounts you'd eat in food. However, concentrated supplement doses raise some concerns.
Because cassia cinnamon contains coumarin, which can harm the liver in very high doses taken over a long time, the data advises against medicinal or high-dose supplement amounts during pregnancy. In clinical trials, a small number of participants reported a rash or, in one case, eyelid dermatitis after taking cinnamon.
In another instance, one participant experienced low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) severe enough to cause a seizure, though it's unclear whether the cinnamon caused it. Breastfeeding safety data isn't on file.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your exact medications if you take drugs that harm the liver (hepatotoxic drugs, Moderate interaction) or diabetes medications (Moderate interaction). These are the two drug categories with documented interactions in our data for this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you take diabetes medications or drugs that affect your liver, check with us or your doctor before starting CinnaMedic Cinnamon—the dose and duration matter. It's generally well tolerated at food amounts, but long-term high-dose supplement use isn't well studied.
Talk to your pharmacist before adding it to your routine.

CinnaMedic Cinnamon by Wonder Laboratories Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
CinnaMedic Cinnamon from Wonder Laboratories contains one active ingredient, Cinnulin PF (cassia cinnamon), which does interact with some medications.
The most serious concern is with drugs that stress the liver (hepatotoxic drugs). In theory, large doses of cassia cinnamon over time might add to that liver stress, since cassia cinnamon contains coumarin, a compound that can harm the liver when taken in very high amounts for extended periods.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Cassia cinnamon may also lower blood sugar levels, so it could have additive effects if you're taking diabetes medications (antidiabetes drugs). This means your blood sugar might drop more than expected, and your doctor may need to adjust your diabetes medication dose.
Altogether, these interactions span 425 individual medications. Before you start this product, especially if you take medications for your liver, diabetes, or blood sugar, run them through the checker below or talk with us.

Cinnulin PF
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.
