HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cinnamon 150 mg by Superior Source
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 2 active ingredients: stevia leaf extract and cinnamon bark powder. Stevia is a non-caloric sweetener derived from the stevia plant leaf, and cinnamon bark powder is ground dried bark from the cinnamon tree.
The product also contains inactive ingredients — lactose and acacia gum — which are fillers and binders that hold the tablet together.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold on both ingredients is limited. For stevia leaf extract, we have insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for diabetes, high blood pressure, or weight loss.
Cinnamon bark powder similarly shows insufficient reliable evidence for its use in amenorrhea, angina, the common cold, diabetes, diarrhea, or high cholesterol. Neither ingredient has established effectiveness for a clear purpose in this formulation based on the data available to us.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Stevia leaf extract is generally recognized as safe in typical food amounts, though whole-leaf or high-dose supplements are less well studied — use caution with supplement doses. Most people tolerate it well; common mild effects include abdominal bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle pain, nausea, and numbness, which often resolve within the first week.
Rarely, allergic reactions occur. Cinnamon bark powder is generally safe in food amounts, but supplement doses high in coumarin — a compound in cinnamon — may harm the liver over time with extended use.
A small number of trial participants reported a rash or allergic contact dermatitis. One participant taking cinnamon also had a low blood sugar event, though it's unclear whether cinnamon caused it.
Avoid high-dose supplements during pregnancy due to limited safety data. Cinnamon is likely safe during lactation in food amounts.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you take lithium, any blood pressure medications, diabetes drugs, or any medication known to affect your liver — these are the interaction concerns we've documented. No interactions are documented for the stevia and cinnamon ingredients beyond these categories.
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 might interest you if you're looking for a cinnamon-based supplement, but the evidence for what it actually does isn't established in our data. If you take lithium, blood pressure meds, diabetes drugs, or medications that stress your liver, you need to talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this — the interactions can be serious.
Even if you don't take those, it's worth a quick conversation with your own healthcare provider to make sure it fits your health picture.

Cinnamon 150 mg by Superior Source Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Cinnamon 150 mg by Superior Source contains stevia leaf extract and cinnamon bark powder, both of which have documented interactions with certain medications.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Stevia leaf extract's most serious interaction is with lithium (a mood stabilizer). Stevia may slow how your body clears lithium, potentially raising its levels to unsafe ranges — a Moderate severity concern.
Stevia might also increase the risk of low blood pressure (hypotension) when combined with blood pressure medications (Minor), and theoretically increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) with diabetes drugs (Minor), though the evidence on blood pressure and blood sugar effects is mixed.
Cinnamon bark powder carries Moderate interactions with drugs that harm the liver (hepatotoxic drugs) — large doses of cinnamon over time contain coumarin, which may add to that liver risk — and with diabetes medications, where cinnamon may lower blood sugar additively and might require dose adjustments. Altogether, these interactions span 601 individual medications.
Before starting this product, check your exact medications with your own doctor or pharmacist, especially if you take lithium, blood pressure drugs, diabetes medications, or anything known to affect your liver.

For each ingredient in Cinnamon 150 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Cinnamon bark powder
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.
Stevia leaf extract
Lithium
Theoretically, stevia might decrease clearance and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that stevia extracts might have diuretic activity. Theoretically, increased reabsorption of lithium along with sodium might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, stevia might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when combined with antidiabetes drugs.
Preliminary clinical research in patients with type 2 diabetes suggests that taking a single dose of stevia extract 1000 mg reduces postprandial blood glucose levels when taken with a meal. However, other clinical research in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes suggests that taking stevioside 250 mg three times daily does not significantly affect blood glucose levels or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) after three months of treatment.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, combining stevia or stevia constituents with antihypertensive agents might increase the risk of hypotension.
Stevia extract and stevioside might lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. However, other clinical research suggests that stevioside does not significantly lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension.
