HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cinnamon Bark Capsules by Wonder Labs

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

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 bark extract. The capsule itself is made from 100% pure cinnamon with no other added fillers or binders.

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.

The evidence supporting cinnamon bark for its claimed uses isn't established in our data. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for amenorrhea, angina, common cold, diabetes, diarrhea, or dyslipidemia (high cholesterol and triglycerides).

That doesn't mean it doesn't work—it means the studies aren't strong enough yet to say one way or the other.

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 is generally well tolerated in food amounts. At supplement doses, especially high ones taken for a long time, there's concern about liver damage from its coumarin content—though in clinical trials, doses up to 12 grams daily for 3 months didn't significantly raise liver enzymes in the people studied.

A small number of trial participants reported a rash, and isolated case reports describe contact dermatitis in people with cinnamon allergies. One patient in a trial experienced a low blood sugar seizure (hypoglycemia), though it's unclear whether cinnamon caused it.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, food amounts of cinnamon are likely safe, but avoid high-dose supplements due to limited safety data.

Moderate interaction found
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.

Before taking this product, double-check any hepatotoxic drugs (drugs that can harm the liver) and antidiabetes medications (blood sugar drugs) with your pharmacist. Cinnamon may lower blood glucose and could theoretically add to liver stress at high doses, so your prescriber may need to adjust your medication.

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 by Wonder Labs: Common Questions

Does Cinnamon Bark Capsules by Wonder Labs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Cinnamon Bark Capsules 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 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 help my diabetes?
The evidence isn't strong enough to say. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate cinnamon for diabetes. What we do know is that it may lower blood glucose, so if you take diabetes medication, your doctor might need to adjust your dose—talk to your pharmacist before starting.
Is it safe to take during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Food amounts of cinnamon are likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. But avoid high-dose supplements like this one during those times, because we don't have enough safety data.
Can it damage my liver?
At supplement doses, there's theoretical concern about liver damage from cinnamon's coumarin content, especially if you take it for a long time. Clinical trials at up to 12 grams daily for 3 months didn't show significant liver enzyme changes, but very high doses of coumarin can cause reversible liver damage. If you have liver disease or take drugs that stress the liver, check with your pharmacist.
What are the side effects?
In clinical trials, a rash was reported in one person taking 1 gram daily, and a low blood sugar episode in another—though it's unclear if cinnamon caused that event. Case reports describe contact dermatitis in people allergic to cinnamon compounds.
Does it have any fillers?
No—the capsule is made from 100% pure cinnamon with no other added ingredients.
