HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cinnamon 300 mg by Solaray
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 supplement contains two active ingredients: cinnamon (listed as cassia cinnamon in the monograph) at 300 mg per capsule, and cinnamon bark extract. The product also includes several inactive ingredients — cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silica — which are standard capsule fillers and binders.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that cinnamon works for the conditions listed — amenorrhea, angina, common cold, diabetes, diarrhea, or dyslipidemia (high cholesterol). Each condition shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate cinnamon's effectiveness.
This doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the research data we have isn't strong enough to say either way.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Cassia cinnamon is generally well tolerated in the amounts found in food. At supplement doses, there's a caution: coumarin, a compound in cassia cinnamon, might damage the liver over time if you're taking large amounts for a long period.
In clinical trials, cassia cinnamon at doses from 360 mg to 12 grams daily for up to three months didn't significantly raise liver enzymes, though very high doses of coumarin from other sources have caused liver damage in people. A small number of trial participants reported a rash or, in one case, an allergic skin reaction (systemic contact dermatitis).
One person taking cinnamon also had a hypoglycemic seizure (seizure from low blood sugar), though it's unclear whether cinnamon caused it.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your pharmacist before taking this if you're on antidiabetes drugs (your blood sugar might drop too much) or hepatotoxic drugs (medications that can damage the liver). This supplement could add to the effect of either.
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're taking diabetes or liver-damaging medications, talk to your pharmacist before starting this supplement — dose adjustments may be necessary. Food amounts of cinnamon are fine, but we don't have enough safety data to recommend high-dose supplements during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
For everyone else, check your exact medications with the tool on this page.

Cinnamon 300 mg by Solaray Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Solaray's Cinnamon 300 mg contains cassia cinnamon, which has documented interactions with two medication types.
The most serious concern is with hepatotoxic drugs (liver-damaging medications) — a Moderate severity interaction. Large doses of cassia cinnamon might add to the liver stress these drugs already cause, and there's concern that extended use of this supplement at high doses could harm the liver itself, since cassia cinnamon contains coumarin, a compound that's been linked to liver damage in animal studies and at very high doses in people.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Cassia cinnamon also has a Moderate interaction with antidiabetes drugs. The spice may lower blood sugar levels, potentially adding to the effects of diabetes medications — your doctor might need to adjust your medication doses if you're taking both.
We couldn't check the interaction profile for flavonoids, one of the other ingredients listed. Altogether, these interactions span 425 individual medications.

Cinnamon
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.
