HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cinnamon Powder by Organic Aura

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: organic cinnamon (specifically cassia cinnamon). The remaining ingredient listed — 100% pure organic cinnamon powder — is the same active material and not a separate filler or excipient.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Cassia Cinnamon's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: promotes balanced metabolism.
  • We looked for evidence on: Diabetes, Dyslipidemia, Impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes), Obesity, metabolic syndrome, insulin sensitivity.
  • The closest evidence on file: Cassia Cinnamon is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diabetes (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Cassia Cinnamon is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyslipidemia, Obesity, Impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes).

The evidence we have doesn't establish whether cinnamon works for any of the conditions it's sometimes used for — amenorrhea, angina, common cold, diabetes, diarrhea, or high cholesterol. All of these are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence.

That doesn't mean cinnamon doesn't help; it means the studies to prove it either haven't been done or aren't solid enough yet.

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 medicinal or high-dose supplement levels, though, there's a caution: the coumarin it contains may harm the liver if you take large amounts over a long time.

In one trial, one person developed a rash at 1 gram daily for 90 days. Rarely, people with a sensitivity to cinnamic alcohol (a cinnamon compound) have had contact dermatitis from eating cinnamon.

A single case report mentioned a seizure tied to low blood sugar in someone taking cinnamon, though it's unclear whether cinnamon caused it. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, food amounts are likely fine, but avoid medicinal or high-dose supplement amounts — the safety data isn't there yet.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Cassia Cinnamon

Meds to double-check

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.

Check with your pharmacist if you're on antidiabetes drugs (insulin, metformin, and similar medications that lower blood sugar) or any hepatotoxic drugs (medications known to stress the liver). At high doses or over the long term, cinnamon may add to both effects.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take a diabetes medication or drugs that can affect your liver, check this product with your pharmacist before you start. Cooking with cinnamon is safe; if you're thinking of taking it as a supplement, especially for a long time or in large doses, it's worth a quick conversation with us first.

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 Powder by Organic Aura: Common Questions

Does Cinnamon Powder by Organic Aura interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Cinnamon Powder 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 Powder 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.
Is this safe to use while pregnant?
Food amounts are likely fine. But if you're thinking of taking this as a medicinal dose or supplement, there isn't enough safety data to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Can I take this if I'm breastfeeding?
Food amounts are likely safe, but avoid concentrated supplement doses because we don't have enough safety data. Check with your pharmacist or doctor for your specific situation.
Does cinnamon actually help with blood sugar or cholesterol?
The evidence we have isn't solid enough yet to say whether it works for diabetes, high cholesterol, or the other conditions it's used for. We'd need stronger studies to know.
What's coumarin and why does it matter?
Coumarin is a compound naturally in cinnamon. In animals, it can stress the liver. In humans, very high doses (from supplement use over time) might do the same, though it's rare. Food amounts are fine.
Will this interfere with my diabetes medication?
Possibly. Cinnamon may lower blood sugar on its own, so if you're already on a diabetes drug, you could see an additive effect. Your doctor might need to adjust your dose — check before you start.
