HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cinnamon 2% Extract Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection
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: cinnamon extract powder in a 2% formulation. There are no inactive filler ingredients listed.
The extract delivers the active compounds from cassia cinnamon in concentrated powder form.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold does not establish effectiveness for any condition. Cassia cinnamon has been studied for amenorrhea (absent periods), angina (chest pain), common cold, diabetes, diarrhea, and high cholesterol (dyslipidemia), but in each case the reliable evidence is insufficient to rate whether it works.
If you're considering this product for a specific health concern, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the current research actually supports.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Food amounts of cinnamon are generally well tolerated. At supplement doses, especially high doses taken long-term, there's concern about coumarin content and potential liver harm over time.
In clinical trials, a small number of participants reported a rash, and one case of contact dermatitis (a skin reaction) was documented in someone with a known cinnamon allergy. One trial participant also experienced a low blood sugar event (hypoglycemia seizure), though it's unclear whether cinnamon caused it.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, food amounts are likely fine, but avoid medicinal or concentrated supplement doses due to limited safety data.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your pharmacist before using this product if you take hepatotoxic drugs (medications that can harm the liver) or antidiabetes medications. Large doses of cinnamon extract used long-term may add to liver stress or lower your blood sugar further than intended, and your medication doses might need adjustment.
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 most appropriate if you're interested in cinnamon's potential effects on blood sugar or cholesterol, but the evidence for either isn't established yet. Be especially cautious if you take medications for diabetes or liver-toxic drugs — check those with your pharmacist first.
Stick to food-level amounts if you're pregnant or nursing.

HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
TerraVita Premium Collection Cinnamon 2% Extract Powder contains cassia cinnamon, which has documented interactions with two important drug categories.
The most serious concern is with hepatotoxic drugs (medications that can stress the liver). Large doses of cassia cinnamon used long-term may add to that stress, since the extract contains coumarin, a compound that can damage the liver in animal studies.
Very high doses of coumarin in humans — far above typical supplement use — have caused reversible liver injury, but clinical trials at doses up to 12 grams daily for 3 months did not show significant liver enzyme changes.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Cassia cinnamon may also lower blood sugar levels, so it could theoretically have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs (Moderate severity). If you take diabetes medication, your dose might need adjustment, and you should check your blood sugar more closely if you add this product.
Altogether, these interactions span 425 individual medications. Before you start, use the medication checker on this page to see if any of your prescriptions fall into these categories — especially if you take liver-toxic drugs or diabetes medications.

For each ingredient in Cinnamon 2% Extract Powder 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.
Cinnamon Extract, 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.
