HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cinnamon Bark Capsules 1210 mg by Foster Regal

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
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.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: cinnamon (specifically cassia cinnamon) at 1210 mg per capsule. That's the whole formula — there are no other active ingredients.

The capsule itself is an inactive ingredient used to deliver the cinnamon.

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.

We don't have solid evidence that cinnamon works for any of the conditions listed in our data — amenorrhea (absent periods), angina (chest pain), common cold, diabetes, diarrhea, or high cholesterol. All six conditions show insufficient reliable evidence.

If you're considering this product for any of those reasons, talk with us about what the research actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient 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 at typical food amounts is generally well tolerated. But at supplement doses — especially high ones or long-term use — there's a caution flag because of coumarin content.

Very high coumarin doses (50–7000 mg daily) have caused liver problems in humans, though those resolved once coumarin was stopped. At this product's dose over typical use periods, clinical trials haven't shown significant liver enzyme changes, but extended high-dose use is a concern worth monitoring.

Rare side effects reported include rash and, in one case, a hypoglycemic seizure (low blood sugar seizure) in someone taking 1 gram daily — though it's unclear if the cinnamon caused it. One person with a cinnamic alcohol allergy developed eyelid dermatitis from dietary cinnamon that cleared five days after stopping.

During pregnancy, food amounts of cinnamon are likely safe, but avoid high-dose supplement amounts — there isn't enough safety data. Breastfeeding safety data is also limited, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist.

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.

Check your medications if you take antidiabetes drugs (like metformin or insulin) or any hepatotoxic drugs that can strain the liver — both carry Moderate interaction risks with cassia cinnamon. Your doctor may need to adjust doses or monitor you more closely.

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.

Cassia cinnamon at supplement doses isn't harmful for most people at typical intakes, but it's not proven to work for the conditions often cited. If you take diabetes medications or drugs that stress your liver, check your exact medications with us first — dose adjustments may be needed.

Long-term high-dose use warrants caution. Talk to your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or on any chronic medications.

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
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.

Cinnamon Bark Capsules 1210 mg by Foster Regal: Common Questions

Does Cinnamon Bark Capsules 1210 mg by Foster Regal interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Cinnamon Bark Capsules 1210 mg has a known interaction with 442 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Cinnamon Bark Capsules 1210 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.
Will this cinnamon help my blood sugar?
Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence that cinnamon actually works for diabetes. While it may lower blood glucose in theory, it's not proven effective. If you take diabetes medication, the real concern is it might lower blood sugar too much combined with your drugs — not that it'll help control it.
Is it safe to take long-term?
At typical doses short-term, yes — it's generally well tolerated. Long-term or high-dose use is a caution because of coumarin, which can harm the liver over extended periods. If you want to take it regularly, talk with your pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Can I take this while pregnant?
Food amounts of cinnamon are likely safe in pregnancy. But at supplement doses like these, there isn't enough safety data. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist — they can weigh the pros and cons for your situation.
What's coumarin and why does it matter?
Coumarin is a natural compound in cassia cinnamon. In animals it harms the liver, and in humans, very high doses (50–7000 mg daily) have caused liver problems. This product's dose and typical supplement use haven't caused liver damage in trials, but extended use is worth monitoring.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most people tolerate it fine. Rare reports include rash, and in one case, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) — though it's unclear if the cinnamon caused it. If you have a cinnamon allergy, avoid it; dietary cinnamon caused skin dermatitis in one allergic person.
Can I take this with my diabetes medicine?
Cassia cinnamon may lower blood sugar, so combined with antidiabetes drugs there's a risk of blood sugar going too low. Your doctor may need to adjust your diabetes medication dose. Check your specific drugs with us before starting.
