HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cinnamon Force by New Chapter
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
Cinnamon Force contains four active ingredients, all from cinnamon: a hydroethanolic extract and a supercritical extract of cassia cinnamon, and the same two extract types of Ceylon cinnamon. These are concentrated forms designed to deliver cinnamon's active compounds in supplement strength.
The product also contains inactive ingredients — extra-virgin olive oil, hypromellose (a capsule binder), organic yellow beeswax, and candelilla wax — that help form and preserve the capsule.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for cinnamon's effectiveness on the conditions listed in our data is limited. For both cassia and Ceylon cinnamon, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate effectiveness for amenorrhea, angina, common cold, diabetes, diarrhea, or dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fats).
Ceylon cinnamon specifically is rated possibly ineffective for obesity and diabetes. If you're considering this product for a particular health goal, talk with your pharmacist about what the science actually shows.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Ceylon cinnamon extracts are generally well tolerated when taken orally, though bloating, indigestion (dyspepsia), and nausea can occur in some people. Allergic reactions — including rash, itching, and skin irritation — have been reported in a small number of trial participants and case reports, particularly in people with a sensitivity to cinnamaldehyde or cinnamic alcohol.
At food-spice doses cinnamon is considered likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, but at higher supplement doses the safety data is thinner. The data notes that very high coumarin doses from cassia cinnamon (the compound present in that form) can stress the liver over time, though clinical trials at supplement doses haven't shown significant liver enzyme changes.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check if you're on blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs) — Ceylon cinnamon may lower your pressure further. If you take diabetes medications (antidiabetes drugs), your blood sugar might drop more than expected.
And if you're on any drugs that stress your liver (hepatotoxic drugs), the cassia cinnamon extracts could theoretically add to that burden at high doses. Your pharmacist can review your exact medications using the tool on this page.
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.
Cinnamon Force is generally well tolerated at typical doses. If you take blood pressure or diabetes medications, or drugs that affect your liver, check with your pharmacist before starting — dose adjustments might be needed.
If you have a known sensitivity to cinnamon or its compounds, skip it. For everyone else, talk with your pharmacist about whether the evidence supports using it for your specific goal.

Cinnamon Force by New Chapter Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Cinnamon Force by New Chapter contains cinnamon extracts that interact with a few key medication types.
The most serious concern is with drugs that lower blood pressure (antihypertensive drugs). The Ceylon cinnamon extracts in this product may have additive effects and theoretically increase the risk of low blood pressure (hypotension).
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
You'll also want to check if you take diabetes medications (antidiabetes drugs). Both the cassia cinnamon and Ceylon cinnamon extracts may lower blood sugar levels and could have additive effects with your diabetes drugs — dose adjustments might be necessary.
There's one more consideration: drugs that stress the liver (hepatotoxic drugs). The cassia cinnamon extracts theoretically might add to that burden if taken in large doses for extended periods, though the data is not extensive.
Although we couldn't check the basic Cinnamon and Ceylon Cinnamon ingredient listings (they're listed as containers of their own components), the extracted forms are what carry documented interactions. Altogether, these interactions span 600 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Cinnamon Force 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
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.
Ceylon Cinnamon
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, Ceylon cinnamon may have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs.
Ceylon cinnamon may lower blood glucose levels. Dose adjustments might be necessary.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, Ceylon cinnamon might have additive effects with antihypertensive drugs and increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research shows that Ceylon cinnamon extract has vasorelaxant properties and reduces blood pressure in rat models of hypertension, possibly via inhibition of calcium influx through L-type voltage-sensitive channels.
