Safety Notes
Generally recognized as safe when used in culinary amounts. Concentrated supplements may interact with medications including blood thinners, diabetes medications, and heart medications. Cassia cinnamon contains higher amounts of coumarin, which may cause liver toxicity when consumed in large amounts over time. Ceylon cinnamon contains much lower coumarin levels. Those with liver conditions should be cautious with high-dose cassia cinnamon. May cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Consult healthcare practitioner before using therapeutic doses, especially if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have a medical condition.
