HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Ceylon Cinnamon 1000 mg by PureMax Labs YummyVite

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: Ceylon Cinnamon Powder at 1000 mg per tablet. The inactive ingredients are Acacia Gum, Rice Extract, Rice Husk, Gum Arabic, Sunflower Oil, Silica Concentrate, and Silicon Dioxide — these are binders, fillers, and capsule materials that help hold the supplement together.

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.

The evidence for cinnamon isn't established for the conditions we have data on. For amenorrhea (missed periods), angina (chest pain), common cold, diabetes, diarrhea, and dyslipidemia (high cholesterol), the research shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate whether it works.

That doesn't mean it doesn't — just that the studies aren't there yet or aren't strong enough to draw a conclusion.

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.

Food amounts of cinnamon are generally well tolerated, but this product contains a medicinal dose. The safety notes advise caution with high-dose supplements because cinnamon contains coumarin, a compound that can harm the liver over time, especially at large doses taken long-term.

In clinical trials, doses of 360 mg to 12 grams daily for up to 3 months did not significantly raise liver enzyme levels, but the concern remains theoretical. Rare side effects reported in trials include a rash (one person at 1 gram daily for 90 days) and, in one case, eyelid dermatitis from a systemic allergic reaction to cinnamon in the diet that cleared within five days of stopping.

One person also reported a low blood sugar seizure (hypoglycemia) on the first day of taking 1 gram daily, though it's unclear if cinnamon caused it.

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 your medications if you take drugs that stress the liver (hepatotoxic drugs) — Moderate severity — or diabetes medications (antidiabetes drugs) — also Moderate — before adding this cinnamon supplement. Either type could be affected by a 1000 mg daily dose.

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.

This supplement might help with certain conditions, but the evidence isn't clear yet. If you take diabetes medications or drugs that affect your liver, check with your pharmacist before starting — cinnamon could potentially make those medications work too well or add to liver stress.

It's fine in food amounts, but high-dose supplements like this one carry more unknowns.

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.

Organic Ceylon Cinnamon 1000 mg by PureMax Labs YummyVite: Common Questions

Does Organic Ceylon Cinnamon 1000 mg by PureMax Labs YummyVite interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Ceylon Cinnamon 1000 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?
Organic Ceylon Cinnamon 1000 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.
Is this safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data rates cinnamon as likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. That said, food amounts are safer than supplement doses; the caution advises avoiding medicinal or high-dose amounts during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're planning to take this product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Can it really help with diabetes?
The evidence for cinnamon in diabetes is insufficient — we don't have strong enough studies to say whether it works. What we do know is that it may lower blood sugar, so if you take diabetes medication, it could add to the effect. Your doctor would need to monitor you.
What are the side effects?
Most people tolerate it well at standard doses. A small number of trial participants reported a rash or allergic skin reaction. One person also experienced a low blood sugar episode, though it's unclear if cinnamon caused it. If you have a cinnamon or cinnamic alcohol allergy, avoid it.
Is there anything in this product besides cinnamon?
The active ingredient is Ceylon Cinnamon Powder at 1000 mg. The rest are inactive ingredients — binders and fillers like acacia gum, rice extract, and silica that help form the tablet.
Why is coumarin a concern?
Coumarin is a natural compound in cinnamon that can harm the liver, especially at high doses taken long-term. This product provides a medicinal dose, not a food amount, so the liver concern is more relevant. Very high coumarin intake (50–7000 mg daily) can cause liver damage, though it reverses when you stop.
