HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Super Strength Cinnamon 2000 mg by Simply Supplements

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 (from cassia cinnamon), supplied at 2000 mg per dose. It also contains three inactive ingredients — magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and dicalcium phosphate — which are used as a binder, filler, and flow agent to hold the tablet 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 on cinnamon for the conditions listed — amenorrhea (missed periods), angina (chest pain), common cold, diabetes, diarrhea, and dyslipidemia (abnormal cholesterol) — is insufficient to rate in our data. That means we don't have solid research backing its use for any of these purposes right now.

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 at food amounts. At supplement doses like this one, there's concern about liver damage from its coumarin content over extended use, particularly at very high doses.

In trials, doses of 360 mg to 12 grams daily for three months didn't significantly raise liver enzymes, but you should be cautious with long-term use. A rash and one case of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) seizure have been reported in trials, though the seizure's link to cinnamon isn't clear.

If you have a documented allergy to cinnamic alcohol, cinnamon can trigger contact dermatitis (skin inflammation).

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 before taking this if you use antidiabetes drugs (blood sugar medications) or any hepatotoxic drugs — medications that can stress the liver. Cinnamon at these doses may lower blood sugar or add to liver strain.

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 is a high-dose cinnamon supplement. If you take diabetes medications or drugs that can affect your liver, talk to your pharmacist before starting — cinnamon may strengthen their effects.

For general use as a food-amount supplement, it's well tolerated, but we don't have solid evidence it works for the conditions it's marketed for.

Cinnamon2 drug types · 442 drugs

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.

Super Strength Cinnamon 2000 mg by Simply Supplements: Common Questions

Does Super Strength Cinnamon 2000 mg by Simply Supplements interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Super Strength Cinnamon 2000 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?
Super Strength Cinnamon 2000 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 cinnamon safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Food amounts of cinnamon are likely fine in pregnancy and lactation. This supplement dose is high and concentrated, though — the data advises against supplement-level amounts during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist to decide what's right for you.
What's coumarin, and why does it matter in this supplement?
Coumarin is a natural compound in cassia cinnamon that can harm your liver, especially at very high doses over a long time. At supplement levels like this, there's concern it could damage your liver with extended use, so avoid taking it long-term without checking with your pharmacist first.
Can this cinnamon supplement lower my blood sugar?
Yes — cassia cinnamon may lower blood glucose levels. If you take diabetes medications, this supplement could push your blood sugar too low, so your doctor may need to adjust your dose. Do not start this without talking to them first.
What side effects have been reported with this supplement?
A rash was reported in one trial participant, and one person experienced a low blood sugar seizure — though it's unclear if cinnamon caused it. If you're allergic to cinnamic alcohol, you may get skin inflammation. Contact your pharmacist right away if you notice any rash or unusual symptoms.
Does this cinnamon supplement actually work for diabetes, high cholesterol, or a cold?
The evidence we have is insufficient to say whether it works for diabetes, high cholesterol, diarrhea, or other conditions listed. That means we don't have solid research backing those uses right now.
